YouTube Video on assembling your Lava Lamp:

Be patient! The first time you start a Lava Lamp – it will take 4-6 hours for lava to flow.
Your Lava Lamp will start forming ”towery” pillar shapes when it starts to flow. This is normal. Please allow it to run at least 4-6 hours the first time you use it. The first time will have the longest start-up time.

The coil is should be at the bottom of every Lava Lamp’s glass globe. It helps to accelerate the heat to melt the lava at a faster pace. If the coil is not nestled at the bottom of the lamp it will take longer for the lamp to run.
If the coil is not at the bottom – you can easily resolve this.
For help see this video:

If you receive a lamp that is cloudy, allow the Lava Lamp to sit at room temperature and let the wax settle. Approx. 8 hours.
Then, turn the lamp on until the wax starts to soften, shut if off till it cools. Then turn it on again and run for 8 to 10 hours. This may result in a clear lamp.
If you still think your Lava Lamp is cloudy please call Customer Service at 800-336-5282 Hours: 8-5 Weekdays or email info@lavalite.com.

Do not loosen or remove the bottle cap on globe. Breaking the seal will ruin you lamp and void your warranty.
Do not move, shake or drop your Lava Lamp while “WARM”. The lamp will become cloudy and the lava will break apart. If this happens shut the lamp off immediately and let sit undistrubred for 24 hours. Then, turn it back on and run as normal. Hopefully your lamp will run again unharmed. There is a possibly that it will be damaged permanently.
Do not place lamp in direct sunlight. The colors will fade.
Do not store or operate in extreme cold or heat. This will affect the fuctionality of your lamp.
