FAQs
Can I use this burner with essential oils directly, without water?
It is recommended to mix essential oils with water in the bowl. Using pure essential oils without water can cause them to burn too quickly and potentially damage the glaze or create an overpowering scent.
How long does a tealight typically last under this burner?
A standard tealight typically burns for 3-4 hours. The amount of fragrance released will depend on the oil or wax used and the room conditions.
What are the dimensions of the bowl itself?
The overall product dimensions are H13.5cm x W14cm x D14cm. The depth of the bowl is sufficient for typical oil or wax melt usage, but exact bowl dimensions are not specified.
Is the blue and black color permanent?
The color is part of the glaze, which is fired onto the ceramic. With proper care, the color should remain vibrant. Avoid harsh cleaning methods that could scratch or wear away the glaze.
Can I leave the oil burner unattended?
Never leave a lit candle or the oil burner unattended. Always ensure it is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface and away from children, pets, and flammable materials.
What happens if the wax overflows?
If wax overflows, carefully wipe it away with a paper towel once it has cooled slightly but is still pliable. For future use, reduce the amount of wax melt used.
Does this product come with any fragrance oil or wax melts?
No, this product is the burner only. Fragrance oils and wax melts are sold separately.
Troubleshooting
No fragrance is being released.
Ensure the tealight is fully lit and has been burning for a few minutes. Check that the water/wax in the bowl is warm enough to vaporize. Add more fragrance oil or another wax melt if needed.
Wax melt is overflowing the bowl.
Remove some of the wax melt immediately using a heat-resistant tool (allow to cool slightly first). For future use, use fewer wax melts or smaller ones.
Burner is difficult to clean.
Soak the bowl in warm, soapy water for 15-20 minutes to loosen residue. Use a non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn residue, a plastic scraper can be used carefully.
Tealight is not staying lit or burning unevenly.
Ensure the tealight is placed on a flat surface within the burner base. Check that there are no drafts affecting the flame. Use a good quality tealight.
