Place some bark in the top of the burner and light a tealight at the base of the burner, as the tealight warms the dish, the wax will melt slowly, releasing the fragrance as it heats up – please do not overfill the dish. •Once the tealight extinguishes, the wax will re-harden ready for use the next time. The wax will not evaporate but will eventually lose its fragrance; at which point, the wax should be discarded and replaced. •To change the wax, simply light a tealight and place in the base of the burner, after a few seconds the wax will be soft enough for you to simply push it out of the bowl and wipe clean. •Do not put fingers/hands into the wax burner when lit, to reduce risk of injury – the burner may become hot and heated wax can burn. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not leave unattended or burning out of sight. Place burner on a level, heat resistant surface, away from other heat elements.
