Stone/wick
Proper Use Instructions
1. Read the Users Guide completely and following all directions
and precautions.
2. Anyone who uses our Redolere Stone/wick in another brand of
lamp, or anyone who uses another brand stone in the Redolere lamp will
be doing so at their own risk. We make no guarantee of proper fit
and function on any such usage.
3. When filling your lamp, we recommend that you only use what
you will need to perfume for one day. Our fragrance perfumes at the
rate of approximately one ounce per hour, therefore if you desire two
hours of perfuming, pour only two ounces into your lamp. Never fill
more than half full. When you are done perfuming for the day, if
there is still fragrance in the lamp, we recommend returning the unused
fragrance to its original container for safe storage. We recommend
that you allow the lamp to perfume until there is no fragrance left
in the lamp; doing so will prolong the life of your stone.
4. A small funnel can be very useful when refilling the lamp. Some
users even coil up the stone/wick in a funnel and poor the fragrance over
the stone/wick as they refill. This keeps them from having to wait the
15-20 minutes for it to wick up. Using the funnel will also help prevent
spilling fragrance. In addition to using a funnel we recommend that you
place your lamp on a plate or coaster, like the plates we have available,
to help protect your furniture from damage which could be caused by heat
or spills.
5. Do not leave the lamp
unlit without the solid cap on it. Even when waiting the 15-20 minutes
before lighting, the solid cap should be in place. This prevents over
wicking of the stone; which will cause the stone to be hard to light.
If a stone is over wicked it may have to be removed and laid out to dry.
If the stone is still having trouble, it will have to be replaced.
6. In some cases it may help to let the flame burn a little longer
than two minutes. You should let the flame burn until it has reduced to
one - two inches in size. If the stone does not stay lit, then the lamp
is too full or there is a problem with the stone/wick.
7. Do not place the lamp in front of a fan or under a ceiling fan
that is on high speed. This puts too much oxygen on the stone which will
cause it to burn too fast and maybe even go out.
8. We recommend that the stone/wick be replaced every 3 - 6 months.
The life will depend on how often it is burned and proper use of the lamp.
Using a weak stone/wick will cause more burn time to achieve the same
perfuming coverage. This is not very economical. The stone/wick does have
a 30-day point-of-purchase guarantee (when used in our lamps).
9. We believe that a normal size room should be well fragranced
within an hour. Fragrance burned in the morning can still be in the air
that afternoon. Sometimes it can still be noticed the following day. The
Redolere Fragrance Lamp is that good.
10. Burning the same fragrance all of the time will cause your
sense of smell to adjust to that fragrance. The fragrance will be less
noticeable to you. Always change fragrances to keep this from happening.
11. Smoke- some light smoke is perfectly okay with these lamps.
It is not uncommon for water vapors to form at the base of the stone which
can be seen as light smoke. Also, the chemical makeup of some fragrances
will cause them to give off some smoke as the fragrance molecules vaporize.
If a lamp is smoking too much, it may be overfilled. Try reducing the
amount of oil in the lamp. The problem could also be that the stone/wick
has been overstressed and needs replacing.
12. It is perfectly okay to blend Sophia's Lamp Fragrances. For
instance, if someone would like to put a little Sophia's Vanilla in with
Sophia's Cinnamon Apple, this would work just fine. But under no circumstance
should any other product or chemical be used with our Redolere Fragrance
Lamp. We know there are other oils manufactured for catalytic burning
lamps. These may or may not work well with our lamp. Anyone using these
other brands of catalytic oils is doing so at their own risk.
13.Before replacing a stone try the following: We recommend
a weekly burnout. Reduce the fluid level to one ounce or less. Once the
stone is wet, light it for two-three minutes. Blow the remaining flame
out and let it perfume until it is completely dry. This procedure will
clean a lot of residual oils out of the stone.
