Step 1: Drop the Wick Inside the Bottle

Drop the wick inside the bottle until one end touches the bottom. Thread metal washer onto wick and slide down until it rests on bottle's top. Trim wick 1/2 in. above the bottle’s opening.

Step 2: Remove Wick

Remove wick with washer, and use a funnel to fill bottle with 3 in. of lamp oil.

Step 3: Replace Wick

Replace wick (make sure washer still rests on bottle). Let oil seep to wick's top before lighting. Never leave a flame unattended, and make sure wick stays 1/2 in. above the washer or it may become a fire hazard.
