Electric tart burners are used for melting wax potpourri (also known as tarts, simmers, wax cakes,
etc.). Also a clever way to use up small candles! Use only a 25-watt
bulb with a candelabra base. Use of a 40-watt bulb can make the base of
the electric burner extremely hot, which may cause damage. Do not handle
Electric Tart Burner while it is hot.
Even with a 25-watt bulb, the base will become very hot while in
use. Allow it to cool completely before moving it. Do not move
or remove the
top portion of the Electric Tart
Burner while the wax is warm or hot. Warm wax may be partially liquid,
and may spill and cause burns or damage. Do not leave Electric
Tart Burners on while unattended. If you are not attending to
the Electric Tart Burner or are not using the Electric Tart Burner, turn
it off and unplug it. Do not add additional
fragrance to the wax.
Safety tips: when the wax potpourri is no longer giving off scent, put
on some gloves to protect hands and arms from heat, pour spent wax into a heat-proof container, like an empty soup
can, allow to cool, and discard... Be careful, melted wax is very hot!
***Never pour wax into a sink or toilet!!!***
Replacement Bulbs
We sell replacement bulbs. However, if you want to purchase replacement bulbs
elsewhere for your Electric Tart Burner purchased
from Cloud Nine Candle and Bath Co., make sure you buy bulbs with the
following characteristics:
- 25 Watts. Do not use a higher wattage.
- Candelabra Base (if it says Medium Base, Intermediate Base, or something
else, you have the wrong bulb).
- Globe-Shaped Lamp, no larger than 2" diameter and 3" length.
- Bulb Shape is G-16 1/2.
- Other shapes may work as long as they are 25 watts with a candelabra
base. However, if the bulb is too large to allow the top of the electric tart burner to
sit flat on its base, do not use because it is not safe.
The following brands should work. We have not tested them all, so we do
not guarantee the success of these bulbs.
