FAQs
What type of oils can I use with this burner?
This burner is designed for diluted fragrance oils and essential oils. Always ensure they are diluted with water before use.
Does it come with a candle?
No, the oil burner does not include a tealight candle. A standard tealight candle is required for operation.
How much water and oil should I use?
Fill the top dish with water, leaving a small gap. Add 2-3 drops of diluted fragrance oil per 50ml of water, adjusting for desired scent strength.
What are the dimensions of the oil burner?
The dimensions are: Width: 13cm, Height: 11cm, Depth: 8cm.
How do I clean the oil burner?
Once cooled, wipe the ceramic with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue in the dish, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge.
Is the pearlescent finish durable?
The pearlescent finish is designed to be a decorative coating. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods to maintain its appearance.
Can I use this burner in a large room?
While it can be used in larger rooms, the scent diffusion will be more subtle. It is best suited for smaller to medium-sized spaces for optimal fragrance throw.
Troubleshooting
No scent is being released.
Ensure a lit tealight candle is correctly placed underneath the dish. Verify that you are using diluted fragrance oil and have added enough drops. Check that the room is not excessively large or drafty.
The burner is smoking excessively.
This may indicate the oil is not sufficiently diluted or the water level is too low. Ensure oil is diluted and the dish is filled with adequate water. Check that the candle flame is not directly touching the ceramic dish.
Ceramic has developed a stain or residue.
Allow the burner to cool completely. Gently scrub the inside of the dish with a non-abrasive sponge and warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
