FAQs
What type of oils can I use with this diffuser?
You can use most standard essential oils and fragrance oils. Ensure they are safe for diffusion and follow the manufacturer's recommendations.
How long does the fragrance last?
The duration depends on the amount of oil used, the type of oil, and the size of the room. Typically, a tealight candle will burn for about 3-4 hours, during which time the fragrance will be released.
Do I need to use water with the oil?
Yes, it is generally recommended to mix essential oils with water in the top dish. This helps to dilute the oil and allows for a more even and sustained release of fragrance, preventing the oil from burning too quickly.
Is the grey finish prone to chipping?
The finish is designed for durability, but like most decorative ceramic items, it should be handled with care to avoid chipping or scratching.
Can this diffuser be used in a child's room?
While it adds a pleasant ambiance, it uses an open flame from a tealight candle. It is advised to use caution and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
How often should I clean the diffuser?
It's best to clean the oil dish after each use once it has cooled to prevent residue buildup. The exterior can be wiped down as needed.
Troubleshooting
No fragrance is being diffused.
Ensure the tealight candle is properly lit and burning steadily. Check that there is sufficient water and oil in the top dish. The room may be too large for the subtle fragrance.
The diffuser is smoking excessively.
This can happen if there is no water in the dish or if too much oil is used. Ensure the dish contains water and use only the recommended amount of oil (3-5 drops).
The finish appears dull or stained.
Wipe the exterior gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure all oil residue is cleaned from the top dish after each use.
Uneven heating.
Check that the tealight candle is centered properly beneath the oil dish and that the surface the diffuser is on is level.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the diffuser is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
- Fill the top dish with water (if using water-based diffusion) and add 3-5 drops of your preferred essential or fragrance oil.
- If using a tealight candle base, place a standard tealight candle in the designated holder beneath the dish.
- Light the tealight candle to begin the diffusion process. The heat will warm the oil and water, releasing the fragrance.
Compatibility:
This oil diffuser is compatible with most standard tealight candles and a variety of essential and fragrance oils. It is not designed for electric or battery-operated diffusion methods.
Care:
- Allow the diffuser to cool completely before cleaning.
- Carefully empty any remaining water or oil from the top dish.
- Wipe the top dish clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- For stubborn residue, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
- Store in a dry place when not in use.
