Tabletop burner safety information

Tabletop Burners

  • Always refer to the usage instructions (packaging) to make the most of your Waxworks product.
  • When in use, use with extreme care and at your own risk.
  • Always keep Tabletop Burners out of reach of children & pets.
  • For OUTDOOR use only. As with any natural flame products, there is an inherent risk. Never leave a lit torch unattended.
  • Always ensure torch pole is secured safely in ground or in a stand. Torch must remain upright when in use.
  • Before lighting, allow wick to become saturated with oil (the oil will draw up the wick & become wet). Do not set wick higher than 1.5cm above the top of the flame guard.
  • Ensure that no oil has spilt onto the torch itself whilst filing the canister as there is a risk that the torch may catch fire.
  • Carefully fill Tabletop Burner with oil, approx. ½ full. DO NOT FILL TO TOP, otherwise oil will heat up during use & spill out over the torch (may catch fire).
  • To prevent burn injuries, snuff flame & allow to cool for at least 30 mins or more before handling.
  • Do not blowout, use a snuffer.
  • NEVER use petrol or gasoline, for use with Waxworks oils only.
  • Do not place Tabletop Burners near combustibles such as wood structures, fuel, clothing, dry vegetation.
  • Always burn in a well-ventilated area.
  • For best results, store cooled tabletop Burners away from exposed weather conditions when not in use.
  • As a guide only – 150ml of Waxworks citronella oil will burn for approx. 6 hours, under mild conditions.

The most common concerns with Tabletop Burners:

Over-Filling:

  • Do not overfill oil, follow the usage instructions. Fill Tabletop Burner approx. ½ way (especially on hot days or in hot climates) to ¾ full on regular days. During hot temperatures, the oil in the canister will draw up the wick & spill out, this is called “capillary action”.
  • Always pour oil slowly into the Tabletop Burner.
  • Always wipe the outer surface of the Tabletop Burner after filling the canister with oil and prior to lighting. In case of any oil spillage on the outer surface.

Water in the Tabletop Burner:

  • After the Tabletop Burner has cooled, always place the snuffer cap over the wick to protect it.
  • If water enters the canister & the oil becomes contaminated with water, do not use. Replace the wick & oil.

REPLACING THE TABLETOP BURNER WICK:

  • Use with Waxworks Fibreglass wicks only (WW926)
  • As a safety precaution, the wick & wick holder are a tight, snug fit.
  • To assist with fitting the new wick into the wick holder, wrap the end of the wick tightly with sticky tape. Slowly feed the wick until the end appears approx. 1.5cm out from the holder. Check that it is secure. Gently remove the sticky tape from the wick end.
