The Magic Of Ashleigh And Burwood Fragrance Lamps

how to use ashleigh and burwood fragrance lamp

The Ashleigh & Burwood Fragrance Lamp, also known as an effusion or catalytic lamp, uses a catalytic combustion technique to combine swift and impactful fragrance release with air purifying properties. The lamp works by drawing fragrance up through a heated stone and releasing it into the air. The heated liquid rises into the air and diffuses through convection currents. The catalytic burner captures and destroys the molecules that carry odours, purifying the air before perfuming it. The lamp should be placed on a stable, heat-resistant, and spill-resistant surface, filled 2/3 full with fragrance, and lit for 2-3 minutes before blowing out the flame. The lamp should not be left burning unattended and should only be used for up to 45 minutes at a time, with a 30-minute reset between uses.

How to fill the lamp with fragrance oil

Filling your Ashleigh and Burwood fragrance lamp with oil is a simple process, but it must be done with care. The lamp should be placed on a spill-resistant surface to avoid any mess.

Firstly, remove the snuffer cap and stone/wick assembly from the lamp. Using the funnel provided, fill the lamp to about two-thirds full with an Ashleigh and Burwood Lamp Fragrance. It is important to note that only Ashleigh and Burwood Lamp Fragrances should be used with this product, as other types of fragrance could be dangerous and will damage the wick and stone assembly. The lamp should always be kept upright when filled to prevent spillages.

Next, insert the stone/wick assembly into the lamp and cover the stone with the snuffer cap. Allow the wick to soak for 20-30 minutes. If the stone is left uncovered, the fragrance will evaporate.

Once the wick has soaked for long enough, place the lamp on a heat-resistant surface, away from any combustible materials. Remove the snuffer cap and light the stone, ensuring it is sitting firmly in the neck of the lamp.

After lighting, you should never leave the lamp unattended. Blow out the flame after 2-3 minutes and place the decorative crown over the hot stone.

How to light the lamp

To light the lamp, first, place it on a stable, heat-resistant, and spill-resistant surface, away from combustible materials. Remove the snuffer cap and stone/wick assembly. Using the funnel provided, fill the lamp 2/3 full with an Ashleigh & Burwood Lamp Fragrance.

Next, insert the stone/wick assembly into the lamp, ensuring that the collar of the assembly is fully inserted into the neck of the lamp. Cover the stone with the snuffer cap and allow the wick to soak for 20-30 minutes. This step is important to prevent the fragrance from evaporating and to prime the lamp before lighting.

After the wick has soaked, remove the snuffer cap and check that the stone is sitting firmly in the neck of the lamp. Now, you can light the stone. Please use caution, as the initial flame will be quite high (up to 3 inches). Only light the stone for 2-3 minutes before blowing out the flame.

Once the flame is blown out, place the decorative crown over the hot stone to prevent accidental contact and enjoy the fragrance and purifying benefits of your lamp for up to 30 minutes. For the ultimate home scent experience, it is recommended to use the lamp for up to 45 minutes at a time, no more than twice a day, with a 30-minute "reset" between uses.

How long to leave the lamp on for

Ashleigh & Burwood recommend using your fragrance lamp for up to 45 minutes at a time, twice a day. The lamp does not show an obvious flame or smoke, so it is possible to forget that it is working. If you fill your lamp and forget that it is on, it will keep working until all the oil is exhausted. The lamp uses about 30ml of oil per hour, so be sure to keep an eye on the oil levels.

The lamp should be left to reset for 30 minutes between uses. To reset the lamp, apply the snuffer cap to re-prime the fragrance before lighting again.

If you are not going to use the lamp for a long time, it is best to pour any remaining fragrance back into the bottle using the provided funnel. Leaving fragrance in the lamp when it is not in use for a long time can cause fragrance to build up in the stone, making it difficult to light again.

When changing fragrances, remove the wick from the lamp and allow it to air-dry before placing it into another fragrance.

How to reset the lamp

Resetting your Ashleigh and Burwood fragrance lamp is a simple process. Firstly, ensure you have placed the lamp on a spill-resistant surface to avoid any mess. Next, remove the snuffer cap and the stone/wick assembly, being careful of any dripping fragrance from the rope part of the wick. Pour any remaining fragrance liquid back into its bottle using the provided funnel. You can then wipe down the lamp with a damp cloth to clean it.

If your lamp has been difficult to light, it may be because fragrance has built up in the stone. In this case, you can put the stone/wick assembly into a ceramic bowl and cover it with cling film. Pour lamp fragrance into the bowl until it is 2-3cm full and place it in a cool, dark place. This will help to unblock the wick.

Once you have reset the lamp, you can refill it with fragrance. Fill the lamp 2/3 full with fragrance and keep it upright to prevent spillage. Insert the stone/wick assembly and cover the stone with the snuffer cap. Allow the wick to soak for 20-30 minutes. Place the lamp on a heat-resistant surface, away from combustible materials. Remove the snuffer cap and light the stone, ensuring it is sitting firmly in the neck of the lamp. After 2-3 minutes, blow out the flame and place the decorative crown over the hot stone.

You should now be able to enjoy the fragrance from your reset lamp for up to 30 minutes.

How to clean the lamp

To clean the Ashleigh and Burwood Fragrance Lamp, follow the steps outlined below:

Cleaning the Stone

If the stone at the top of your lamp doesn't light up, it could be due to two reasons: either the fragrance is not being delivered efficiently to the stone, or the stone has become clogged with fragrance.

If your stone is light grey and won't light, ensure that the wick is submerged in the fragrance. Allow at least 30 minutes of 'prime time' with the snuffler cap on the stone before lighting it again.

If your stone is dark grey or black and won't light, the stone has likely become clogged with fragrance. This may be because the snuffler cap was not placed on the lamp when it was not in use.

Cleaning the Glass

If the glass of your fragrance lamp becomes yellow or stained, clean it with a glass cleaner and paper towels. For delicate glass, use a polish that is safe for the material.

Cleaning the Lamp Bowl

If you need to change the fragrance, carefully pour any remaining liquid from the lamp back into the original fragrance bottle using the funnel provided. Make sure the lamp is completely cool before doing this. Allow the wick to air-dry overnight.

General Maintenance

To reset your lamp, apply the snuffler cap to re-prime the fragrance before lighting again. To avoid spills, do not fill the lamp more than two-thirds full of oil. If you do overfill the lamp, carefully pour the excess back into the fragrance bottle and wipe down the lamp with a damp cloth.

However, we have not been made aware of any negative impact on cats, dogs, and birds. Our lamps only require a small percentage of fragrance, so we wouldn't expect there to be any adverse effects.

As we do not test our products on humans, we suggest that anyone who is pregnant check with their healthcare professional before using our products.

The fragrance lamp uses a catalytic combustion technique to purify the air and release fragrance. When the platinum catalyst on the stone part of the wick assembly is heated, it creates a catalytic reaction with the fragrance and oxygen, which is self-sustaining as long as there is a constant fuel and oxygen supply.
