blomus TORCHES

1. Why does the torch not burn as expected?

If the wick sticks out of its mount too far, the flame can scorch the wick. When lighting the torch, a wick that is not fully engulfed in lamp oil can also be scorched by the flame. In both cases, the flame dies out or it burns just very slightly. Only once the scorched part of the wick has been cut off (approx. 1-2cm), the torch can be relit. For these reasons, it is vital that the instructions to light the torch found below are followed.

Check the placement of the wick before lighting the torch. The optimal length is approx. 3-5mm. A significant build-up of soot will be the result of a wick that protrudes too far. Should the flame be too small, this will be because the wick is too short. Correct the wick placement accordingly. After a while, the upper end of the wick can become glazed, which can influence the height of the flame. In this case, cut 1-2 cm off the upper end of the wick and readjust the placement of the wick.

 

2. How do I fill the torch?

To fill the oil torch press the wick's protection down and turn it 90° anti-clockwise until it is released from the lock. The security cap is now open and the lid can be removed. To do so, use one hand to hold on to the torch and use the other to pull the lid carefully out of the torch. To fill the torch, it suffices to place the lid with the wick on the torch's edge and then fill the torch up to the marked maximum fill level with original blomus lamp oil. After having filled the torch, put the lid back on. Make sure that the seal is still properly in please or that it does not get squashed. Press the lid with the safety lock facing down and at the same time turn it clockwise until it is in place. If need be, immediately soak up any oil that overflowed with a cloth and dispose of it properly. Should you not be able to dispose the cloth immediately, make sure that it is kept away from children and infants.

 

3. Why does oil escape from the top of the torch?

Please check the setting of the wick and the fluid level of the torch. The optimal protruding length of the wick is approx. 3-5mm.

If too much oil has been put in the torch, it can lead to temporary overflowing and uncontrolled burning off of the excess oil. Therefore, never fill the torch above the maximum marked fluid level, or never more than the following amounts

Maximum fluid level of an empty torch:

300 ml 65007, 65008, 65009, 65013, 65092

350 ml 65021, 65022, 65085, 65093

500 ml 65034, 65084, 65089


4. Can the torch be used when it rains?

Using the torch during light rain is not a problem. Strong showers can extinguish the flame. The torches should not be out in the open when it rains, as the wick can soak up water.

 

5. How should the torch be extinguished?

Danger: Never attempt to blow out the torch. Instead, use an extinguisher. When attempting to blow out the torch, flames can dart out or lamp oil can be sprayed. Our covering caps 65417 (polished) and 65416 (matt) can be used, which also serve as a protection against rain.

 

6. Are there spare parts for the torch?

If you are unsure which wicks or wood posts are suitable for your torch, then search our site by the article number.

OUTDOOR FURNITURE

1. What is the best way to care for my STAY/GROW furniture?

For ideal maintenance of your STAY furniture collection we offer our MEDA Cleaning- and Maintenance products for outdoor fabrics. Stains and unpleasant smells can easily be removed with our MEDA Cleaning Agent. After cleaning we recommend our MEDA Impregnating Agent which protects the outdoor fabrics water- and dirt repellent features. This protects especially the seams, which are stressed during the use of the product, against ingress of water.

Regular maintenance protects your STAY product against weather related influences and moss. It helps to keep your product in its original state and enhance its longevity.

 

CARE INSTRUCTION:

· Simply rub off loose dust

· Remove stains with a cloth with cold or lukewarm water, not warmer than 38°C (100 F)

· We recommed using a soft cloth for cleaning

· Damp spots should be removed / dried with a dry cloth

· Only dry our STAY seats and beds outside in the air. Never use excessive heat on the fabric

· Careful ironing on a low temperature is possible

 

2. Are the STAY/GROW products waterproof?

STAY: Our outdoor fabrics are woven from a high quality, weather-resistant polyester yarn which makes them ideal to be used outside. The outside of the fabric has been specially treated to be water repellent and the inside is lined with a flexible TPU-foil, which is elastic and watertight. In addition their polyacrylate coating makes the fabrics extremely durable und UV resistant.

The light fastness according to ISO 105B02 has a value of 6 on a scale from 1 to 8, in which 8 is the highest possible value. The shrub resistance of the fabric has a value of 30.000 Martindale.

The fabrics are easy to maintain and clean. Most stains can be removed with a soft damp cloth. It is important to remove any stains as quickly as possible before they can move into the fabric. Well maintained our fabrics will last and look good for a long time.

GROW: The sophisticated concept of each unit consists of two main components, the outer cover and the filling. The waterproof Olefin cover gets an extra soft look-and-feel with additional cushioning material inside. The bottom side of each unit is fitted with a robust premium fabric. The water-repellent and fast drying covering made of interwoven synthetic fibres protects the inner fabric layers against damages. An additional underside pouch is included to integrate the bottom plates with case legs.

The compartments are filled with a high-class foam for a superb comfort level while sitting or lying on the sofa unit. A special vacuum technique reduces volume of the compartments by 70%, thus every unit can ship in a parcel-sized box.

 

3. Can the GROW articles be combined with each other?

Each sofa unit gains additional stability by adding a custom fitting floor plate with case legs, also preventing soil wetness on the underside of the sofa. Simply slip the floor plate into the pouch and attach the case legs from the outside. Using furniture connectors you can easily join the sofa elements together to create a complete sofa combination. To join the units together the matching floor plate (part no’s 62107-62112) and a set of furniture connectors per element (part no 62106) are needed.

 The Divan is designed as a solitary element and cannot be joint with other units.

 

4. Can STAY/GROW articles be overwintered outside?

We offer year-round protective covers for our outdoor furniture from the STAY series. In contrast to the covers, these protective covers allow the furniture to be completely enclosed and closed with a zip.

The protective covers offer sufficient protection so that the furniture can spend the winter outside. However, we strongly recommend covered storage. Zips do not offer 100% protection against waterlogging and permanent dampness. You can find the matching all-season protective covers here.

 

5. How are the STAY/GROW products delivered?

STAY: Our two beds and our two loungers are delivered by a forwarding agent. All other products in the STAY series are sent by parcel service. For this reason, the delivery time may deviate slightly from the stated period. As soon as the goods have been dispatched, you will be contacted by telephone by the shipping company to arrange an appointment. As a rule, delivery will then take place on the following working day.

The delivery takes place free to kerbside.

Our GROW series can be shipped as a parcel and will be delivered to a parcel shipper. There are no special instructions to be observed here.

 

6. What are the delivery times of the STAY/GROW series?

Beds and loungers in the STAY series are manufactured to customer order and then shipped by forwarding agent. As a rule, these items have a delivery time of 5-10 days. This duration may vary slightly in a few cases. All necessary information will be sent to you by e-mail and can also be found in your customer account. The shipping company will contact you by telephone to arrange a delivery date. GROW items are only delivered by parcel post. The delivery time is 1-3 days, subject to availability.

 

7. How do I safely assemble my STAY/GROW furniture?

The furniture from our STAY series is delivered to you already assembled by a forwarding agent. All you have to do is slide the metal bracket under the beds.

GROW: The sophisticated concept of each unit consists of two main components, the outer cover and the filling. The waterproof Olefin cover gets an extra soft look-and-feel with additional cushioning material inside. The bottom side of each unit is fitted with a robust premium fabric. The water-repellent and fast drying covering made of interwoven synthetic fibres protects the inner fabric layers against damages. An additional underside pouch is included to integrate the bottom plates with case legs. The compartments are filled with a high-class foam for a superb comfort level while sitting or lying on the sofa unit. A special vacuum technique reduces volume of the compartments by 70%, thus every unit can ship in a parcel-sized box.

 

8. Can the headboards of the STAY beds be adjusted?

The headrest of the STAY beds can be adjusted as desired. You control the inclination of the headrest with the position of the metal bracket supplied, which you place under the headboard. The further you position the bracket under the bed, the steeper the angle of the headrest. If you remove the bracket completely, you get a horizontal lying surface. The blomus STAY cushions can provide further comfort and support.

 

9. If something does happen: What warranty claims do I have?

Blomus offers its customers a two-year warranty on the outdoor furniture of the STAY and GROW series. The very good workmanship and the use of high-quality materials prevent defects and damage. However, if there are reasons for a complaint, our customer service will be happy to help you in the event of a warranty claim. Click here for the contact form.
