Remove the wick and copper holder from the rock.  Place funnel inside hole.  Fill the funnel with 
oil and allow it to drain into the reservoir. Replace the wick by twisting it down into the reservoir.  
Hold the wick with some of it sticking out from your fingers… and then twist it in as soon as the 
wick touches the stone. Twisting is the only way… the stuff method does not work here!  Fill up the 
funnel once to allow the candle to burn for about one hour.  Two funnels will allow the candle to 
burn for two hours. Three funnels (three hours) is the maximum recommended fill.                                          
 

The design of this oil lamp is to burn the amount of oil in the reservoir.  Un-consumed oil that remains 
in the reservoir after a burning will tend to slowly wick up onto the stone through the wick.  Although 
any oil that wicks up will evaporate away as the stone warms up with no damage to the stone, we 
recommend you let your candle burn until extinction. It helps if you just  pour in the amount of  oil that 
you intend to use at a sitting.  The height of the candle flame can be adjusted by allowing more or less of 
the wick to protrude out of the copper piece.  The copper piece is the “wick holder”.   If more of the wick 
sticks out, the flame will burn higher.  A higher flame is best for outdoor burning as it will not blow out 
easily from the wind.  For indoor burning, it’s better if you set up a smaller wick which will provide you 
with a virtually smoke free flame. As with all open flames, do not leave your home with the candle alight.                                                             

The wick is fiberglass and will not burn away. It will never need to be replaced or trimmed.                                           
 

Although most lamp oil will burn just fine in your candle, we strongly recommend Lamplight 99% Ultra-Pure 
lamp oil. The oil is 99% pure liquid paraffin, and it can be found in almost any hardware store.  It is rated 
as smokeless and odorless and it burns beautifully. Note that Lamplight produces Ultra-Pure in both "99% 
pure" and “Less  Than Pure” lamp oil. Buy the 99% pure to enjoy your virtually smoke free Vermont Rock 
Candle. If you have any questions, email me at Ian@vermontrockcandles.com.  Happy Burning!
   
    
	       Menorah 
  			          The Formula        

One funnel fill-up equals one hour of burning for one wick.  When you burn two wicks in one reservoir, 
the oil will “wick-up” equally.  So… for your Menorah, two funnels worth of oil in the same reservoir 
will allow two wicks to burn for about one hour.  It is best to allow the candle to consume all the oil 
in the reservoir because if there is unused oil left over in the reservoir, it will “wick-up” onto the 
stone and temporarily darken the surface around the wick.  A wet area will dry over time but until 
it dries you will lose a bit of the stone's natural beauty. To prevent, only use as much oil as needed so 
that the candle will extinguish itself as the reservoir's oil is depleted, and do not leave any wicks in 
the stone that are not being used..  Less is More!
