Wick for Kerosene Lamp

W 9 x D 9 x H 33 cm

To fill with lamp oil and light the lamp:

The kerosene lamp must be off and cold when filling.

- Remove the burner tube and unscrew the burner.
- Fill in lamp oil, about 2/3 of the container. Feel free to use a funnel for less spillage.
- Screw the burner back on and let the wick soak for 20-30 minutes so that the wick becomes wet.
- Light the lamp and adjust the flame so that it is not too high by turning the wick up or down
- Put the burner tube back

Note! The burner tube may need to be adjusted to be straight. When the glass is straight, the metal clamps on the burner are used to stabilize.

To turn off the lamp:
Extinguish the kerosene lamp by blowing out the flame or screwing down the wick.

Change the wick:
The old wick is pulled out from below and the new one is inserted from below and screwed up to the correct height.

To think of:
When the lamp is on, the burner tube is very hot. Place the lamp on a flat surface and not near combustible material. Also leave free space above the lamp, at least 1 meter.

The lamp is a primary light source and not a decoration, keep the lamp under supervision and out of reach of children and pets. Lamp oil is very toxic to ingest. In case of ingestion, even very small amounts or by sucking on the wick, DO NOT induce vomiting but contact the Gitf information center and a doctor.
