Caring for & Storing Your PyramidUpdated 2 months ago

It is always best to keep the box your pyramid arrived in and store it in an area free from excessive heat, cold, or humidity.

 

Prior To Usage

  • If your pyramid comes with a hub and separate blades (not a pre-made propeller), carefully insert the blades into the hub, before placing onto the metal rod. Turn the blades to a 45-degree angle to allow the propeller to spin at the proper speed.  
  • Remove any cardboard placed between the bearing and rod tip.

 

Useful Tips

  • Never leave a lit pyramid unattended, as this could potentially create a fire hazard.  
  • Only use candles designed specifically for your pyramid. DO NOT use votive candles in the tealight candleholders. 
  • Use caution when removing the propeller. Lift up and hold the rod firmly beneath the hub, to avoid bending the rod or damaging the bearing, and gently pull off.
  • A section of the rod will be visible between the hub and the pyramid. It is suggested to place a piece of cardboard between the bearing and the rod tip (if your style of pyramid allows) when storing. This prevents the rod from freely moving around.



What size candles do I need?

Our pyramids use small, large, or tealight candles. To determine which size you need, you can place a coin over the candle cup. If a dime fits over the cup, it uses a small candle. If a nickel fits over the cup, it uses a large candle. All available pyramids will provide the option to purchase the correct candle size for your selected pyramid when placing an order.

Candle burn times may vary. 

  • Large Candles - up to 3 hours
  • Small Candles - up to 1.5 hours
  • Tealight Candles - up to 3 hours

Note:  Please use the specific candle size required for your pyramid, as mentioned above. Using the incorrect size candles may cause damage to your pyramid and potentially create a fire hazard.
