Health & Safety
Using an essential oil burner for the first time is very exciting but before you can started you need to know how to use it safely. Oil burners can get very hot and so you should ensure to put it on something heat-resistant so that you do not burn your surfaces. You should check for possible hazards nearby, moving all flammable items away. Once your candle is lit and is placed underneath you should not touch it, otherwise you may burn your hand.
Do not leave the bowl to go completely dry with the candle lit otherwise you may get a burnt aroma, and smoke. You should never take any essential oils orally and should always keep them out of reach of children. If swallowed seek medical help immediately. Never leave lit candles unattended.
Step 1
Fill up the little bowl on top of the oil burner with water and then add a few drops of the essential oil of your choice to the water. Alternatively you can place a few essential oil wax melts that make it even easier.
Step 2
Place a lit tea light candle underneath, this will cause the water and oil mix to vaporise / evaporate causing the aromas to fill the room. Enjoy the aroma and any health benefits that come with it!
How to Clean My Oil Burner?
After use, they should be cleaned but only after it has completely cooled down to avoid the risk of burning yourself as these can get extremely hot from just a little candle.
To remove grease you will need to clean thoroughly with a damp cloth and a washing up liquid detergent if it has stubborn burnt oil you may need to use baking powder and water to help rid of the residues. Avoid using a metal scourer as it may damage the oil burner.
