GETTING STARTED: 4-Step User Instructions
*** Note Before Starting ***
The objective is to safely and precisely set the candle wick height, securely attach the removable Capcandle to the bottle, fill the bottle with water, and add the correct amount of fuel.
Step 3 of 4: Placing the Capcandle on the Bottle
Capcandle Placement: Push the Capcandle onto the bottle. Ensure it meets these criteria: It clicks onto the bottle mouth. It rotates freely around the bottle mouth. It moves slightly up and down on the bottle mouth. It moves slightly from side to side on the bottle mouth.
Testing the Capcandle's Fit. Gently pull on the Capcandle to check its security. If it remains on the bottle, it is a secure fit. If it comes off, adjustments are needed to make it a tighter fit on the bottle. Follow the instructions below to adjust the Capcandle.
Refer to the illustration below for guidance.

Final Step. Step 4 of 4: Fill the Bottle with Water and Lamp Oil
Water Filling: Using a spouted jug or beaker, tilt the bottle slightly and slowly fill it with water. Stop filling once the water level reaches the pen mark on the outside of the bottle. Filling slowly and precisely will help ensure success.
Refer to the illustration below for guidance.
Lamp Oil Filling
Add Lamp Oil: Drip a small amount of lamp oil into the bottle, leaving about a 2cm empty space at the top of the bottle neck. Refer to the illustration above for guidance.
Check Wick Height: Confirm that the wick is set to the correct height within the wick holder, then click the Capcandle onto the bottle. Allow 20 seconds for the wick to absorb the lamp oil before lighting.
Observe Flame: Light the candle and observe the flame as it stabilises. Adjust if necessary.
Adjust Wick Height (if necessary): Adjust the wick height to achieve the ideal flame height of around 1.5cm.
WARNING: Ensure the Capcandle has fully cooled before adjusting the wick height.
*** Notes ***
Empty Space: Leaving empty space at the top of the bottle neck helps the candle breathe properly and function as intended.
Ideal Flame: The ideal flame burns steady and calm, without stretching or erratic movement.
Pouring Lamp Oil: For precise pouring, use a small plastic spouted medicine cup or similar type vessel. The smaller the vessel, the easier and more accurate the pour.
Excess Lamp Oil: If the bottle is overfilled with oil, use a twisted piece of kitchen roll to absorb the excess.
WARNING: Dispose of used kitchen roll safely, out of reach of children and pets.
Refill the Bottle Candle with Lamp Oil: Place the extinguished candle on a hard, flat surface. Remove the Capcandle and set it aside.
Refill: Add lamp oil to the bottle neck, again leaving about 2cm of empty space at the top.
Replace Capcandle: Confirm the wick height is set correctly and return the Capcandle to the bottle.
