FAQs
What type of candle should I use with this oil burner?
This oil burner is designed for standard, unscented tealight candles. Ensure the candle fits securely within the base compartment.
Can I use any type of essential oil or wax melt?
Yes, this burner is compatible with all types of essential oils and wax melts. Use high-quality products for the best scent experience.
How much water should I add with the essential oil?
Fill the top dish about two-thirds full with water, then add 3-5 drops of essential oil. Adjust the amount of oil based on your preference and room size.
How often should I clean the oil burner?
It is recommended to clean the top dish after each use, once cooled, to prevent residue buildup and maintain optimal performance.
Is the white color prone to staining?
While the white finish is classic, some darker or intensely colored oils may cause slight discoloration over time. Regular cleaning helps to minimize this.
How large of a room can this burner effectively scent?
This burner is best suited for small to medium-sized rooms. For larger spaces, consider using multiple burners or a more powerful diffuser.
Can I leave the burner unattended while it's in use?
No, it is important to never leave a burning candle unattended. Always ensure the burner is placed on a stable surface away from flammable materials.
Troubleshooting
No scent diffusion
Ensure the tealight candle is properly lit and burning, and that the water/oil mixture or wax melt is warm enough. Check that the room is not excessively drafty.
Water/oil spilling from the dish
Do not overfill the top dish. Ensure the burner is on a level surface and has not been bumped.
Discoloration of the top dish
This can occur with prolonged use of certain oils. Clean thoroughly after each use with warm, soapy water. For persistent marks, try a paste of baking soda and water.
Candle extinguishes unexpectedly
Check for drafts around the burner. Ensure the tealight is not expired or defective and is seated correctly.
