Illumine Assembly
• Place your Illumine Tabletop Flame Sculpture where you intend to use it. Make certain the surface is stable,
flat and free of debris.
• Remove the grate and set aside. (Fig 1)
• Uncap the Illumine Oil and carefully fill the oil reservoir to the fill line. Fill line is marked halfway up the
reservoir wall. (Fig 2) - DO NOT OVERFILL.
NOTE: Oil reservoir is designed to fill to fill line only. Filling above line will cause spillover.
• Replace the grate on the top of the oil reservoir.
• Gently place the wick in the center slot of the grate. (Fig 3)
• Wipe away any Illumine Oil that may have spilled outside the reservoir before continuing with assembly
• Carefully insert the glass side panels into the slots. (Fig 4 )
• Place rocks decoratively as desired (if included).
Illumine Experience
Enjoying your Illumine
• When using a wick for the first time, allow 10 minutes before lighting to ensure even oil absorption.
• Light the Illumine Tabletop Sculpture by simply touching a match or lighter to one end of the wick. In less than
a minutes time, the flame will slowly crawl across the length of the wick until it is fully illuminated.
• When oil reservoir is full, your Illumine will run from approximately 3.5 hours. You will use approximately 8 oz
(210 ml) upon your first use.
• NOTE: Due to the ever-changing beauty of natural flame, the flame height will change over time while burning
and with each consecutive use. First time use of a new wick may result in a higher flame that settles into a
steady, beautiful flame in about 30 minutes.
Extinguishing the flame
• Illumine Tabletop Flame Sculptures can to extinguished in one of two ways:
- Snuffer Method (preferred): Carefully place the snuffer over the length of the wick, making certain that the
grate holes are completely covered (Fig 5). Leave the snuffer in place and allow to cool. It is normal and
expected for some smoke to escape from under the snuffer. Keep snuffer in place on top of the grate until
next use (Fig 6).
- Self-Extinguish Method: When your Illumine Tabletop Flame Sculpture runs out of oil it will extinguish on
it's own.
Be CERTAIN the flame is completely extinguished before leaving your Illumine unattended. Place snuffer on
top of grate until next use.
NOTE: DO NOT blow out your Flame Sculpture or use water to extinguish.

About the patent-pending Illumine wick
Your Illumine Wick is double-sided and has been carefully constructed to provide superior safety and long life. Due to the prop-
erties of the all-natural, botanical oil, it is expected that a slight residue of organic material will build up on the edge of the wick.
Please follow the instructions below carefully to realize up to 60 hours of optimal wick performance.
Cleaning the wick
To maximize the life of your wick, we recommend cleaning the wick after each use. Clean wick using the cleaning tool, while the
unit is fully assembled. It is not necessary to remove an Illumine wick when cleaning.
• Steps:
- Once the wick is completely cooled, remove the glass or metal sides from your Illumine and gently place to the side. (Fig 4)
- Gripping the cleaning tool tightly between your thumb and forefinger, press the plastic edge of the tool against the exposed
metal edge of the wick, so the spiked cleaning blades are in direct contact with the fiberglass wick material. (Fig 7)
- With firm pressure, glide the cleaning tool's roller edge over the complete length of the wick and back (1-2 times) . Repeat
process on the opposite side of the wick.
- Replace the glass or metal sides. (Fig 8)
- Using a soft cloth or paper towel, gently wipe any remaining debris from the wick. Use brush tip of cleaning tool to gently

brush away any remaining debris. (Fig 9)
Flipping the wick
• After approximately 30 hours of use on one side, the wick will need to be flipped to the fresh, unused side for up to another
30 hours of use. You will know it is time to flip the wick when the exposed side is no longer sustains a flame or
is unable to be lit.
• Make certain your Illumine is COMPLETELY COOL before attempting to flip the wick.
• Remove the grate.
• Check to see that the oil reservoir is empty. If not, carefully pour any remaining Illumine Oil back into a glass or metal
container and save for future use. Immediately wipe up any oil that may have spilled.

• Carefully remove the wick, pulling up slowly until the wick is free from the wick holders at the base of the reservoir.
• Refill the reservoir with Illumine Oil, up to the fill line.
• Replace the grate.
• Gently flip the wick over and insert back into the reservoir.
• Allow 10 minutes for proper oil absorption before lighting.
