USE
If necessary, adjust the wick's length.
When used indoors, the wick should
only stick out a few mm so as to
prevent smoke. Draught also causes
smoke.
In case of outdoor use, the length
of the wick's protruding part will
depend on the weather conditions. In
case of a mild breeze it will need to be
longer (up to 1cm) than on windless
days. If there is too much wind, the
Torch can't be used.
Fill the oil container with lamp oil.
Only use lamp oil (liquid paraffin).
Do not ever use methyl alcohol,
petroleum or any other oil derivative.
Do not fill the oil container to the
rim (always leave at least 1 cm) to
prevent it from overflowing. If the oil
does not reach the flame fast enough,
the wick itself will burn. So the Torch
should be sufficiently filled and the
wick placed vertically into the oil to
obtain a perfect result, especially
when it is used outdoors.
Always fill the container outdoors, as
the oil is inflammable and can cause
a fire indoors. Let the wick draw up
the oil for a while.
MAINTENANCE OF THE
TORCH
Although stainless steel has its own
oxidation layer protecting the steel
from rust, it remains necessary to
regularly remove deposit and dirt
from the torch with a dry cloth
and some stainless steel cleaner. If
damaged.
The oxidation layer can't always
repair itself completely. The sea
climate, chlorine, acid rain or an
aggressive
industrial
environment are very damaging
factors
to
the
material.
determine the frequency and the
necessity of the surface cleaning. The
appropriate cleaning products are
readily available.
Steel will however only remain
rustproof if it is covered by the
oxidation layer. Consequently, you
must prevent the formation of a
permanent layer of dirt, especially
in case of aggressive environmental
factors.
MAINTENANCE OF THE
WICK
Check regularly whether the oil
quantity is sufficient. The wick must
always remain in sufficient contact
with the oil.
Rainfall renders the wick unfit
for use. To avoid this you put the
covertop on the wick.
REPLACEMENT OF THE
WICK
The wick is long enough to last for
years, if used properly. Should the
wick become too short, you can
replace it by a new cotton wick.
Put a piece of adhesive tape on the
tip of the wick. Wind it around the
wick so as to end up with a pointed
tip. Now you can easily fit the wick
through the hole in the stopper.
