ENGLISH: INSTRUCTIONS
POSITION
Choose a position for your lamp on a level surface in a room with a temperature
between 20 and 24°C or (69 to 75°F). NB. For indoor use only.
Place the lamp well away from:
• Children under 14 years to prevent breakage.
• Direct and indirect sunlight, to prevent fading.
• Drafts to prevent slow operation.
• Cold places to prevent freezing.
• Hot places to prevent overheating.
• Animals to prevent breakage.
• Do not place on carpets or block the ventilation spaces beneath the lamp.
SET UP & WARM UP
Put the bottle on the base with the screw cap at the top. If it is not sitting straight please
rotate a little. Then plug it in and turn it on. NB. It is normal for the glass to have small air
bubbles and moulding scars.
Warm up takes between 1 and 3 hours depending on the size of the model and the
surrounding temperature. Stalagmite shapes may form during the warm up process,
these will then melt and the lava will begin to flow. Please note the heating time will
decrease after several uses.
OPERATION
Your Mathmos lava lamp will operate best after it has been used four or five times. For
the first few times you may see small air bubbles in the lava.
Please do not leave your lava lamp on for more than six hours a day or allow it to
overheat; this will prolong the life of your lamp. Overheating is occurring when there is
either one large bubble or very many small ones.
Never move or shake the lamp when it is in use or still warm as this causes irreparable
clouding. Please note it is normal for the base to become very hot.
REPLACMENT BOTTLES
When your lava lamp bottle has ended its life it will begin to go cloudy, the colours may
fade and it will not move as well as it once did. This will happen after approximately
2000 hours of operation. You can then buy a new bottle at www.mathmos.com in the
current colours available; we do not refill bottles.
NB. Do not open the bottle or add liquids as this invalidates your guarantee and
overfilled bottles can also be dangerous.
To recycle your old lava lamp bottle firstly wait till your lamp is completely cold. Then
make a hole in the metal cap and pour out the liquid, leaving the solid lava in place.
Then place the bottle in the glass recycling. The liquids in our lava lamps are not
dangerous.

FITTING THE BULB
1. Handle the bulb with great care; halogen bulbs are extremely delicate.
2. Position the lamp in the correct position and allow the bulb to warm to room
temperature.
3. Use a tissue to hold the bulb; deposits on our fingers can damage the bulb.
4. Carefully push the two prongs of the bulb down into the socket and turn it a quarter-
turn clockwise until it stops rotating.
5. Then place the bottle on the base delicately.

IMPORTANT
• Never touch the bulb or the lamp when it is on.
• Allow the light to cool for one hour before touching the bulb or lamp.
• Always leave the bottle sitting on the base when you turn it on.
• Handle with care, do not move when hot.
• When your bulb ends its life please visit www.mathmos.com to buy a new bulb of
the correct size and wattage for your lava lamp as marked on the label inside the
lamp.
SAFETY
This lamp has passed the relevant safety standards and carries the statutory guarantee
of the country of purchase. Never use a lamp if the bottle has been dropped as this
will create weakness in the glass, obtain a replacement bottle and dispose of the old
one. Do not leave the lamp unattended with small children. If the liquid is swallowed by
mistake drink plenty of water. If it is spilt onto the skin or had contact with the eyes pour
on cold water. If any symptoms appear please visit a doctor.
