I can't get my warmer to light. How do I know when it's lit? Maybe it's been lit and I don't know it.

I use a zippo to light it after I filled the warmer with fluid. I can't see the burner glow, but what I usually do is hold the warmer close to my face. If it feels and stays warm, I know its lit. I'll leave it out for a minute or two without the top cover to make sure the thing is lit and still hot. Once that's done, you can put the cover on and then the bag.

Light you warmer in the dark you will see it start to glow. and use a butane lighter if you have one. It takes longer than 10 seconds.

I found if you look at the cloth-area on the burner in a dark area, you will see a low red-glow. Also, if you feel the lighter has been lit; it should begin heating up in a 1-minute. I used a scripto lighter to light my Zippo's; holding the flame to the burner for 20 to 30-seconds.

I have to use a blow torch type cigar lighter to really heat up the element till you see some red glowing inside portions of the burner element. Use Zippo fluid too. seems to burn better. once lit burn for aprox. ten hrs or more. Don't put in bag and in your pocket for a few min. after lighting.

hold the lighter to the wick for a short time. there is no flame nor is there a red glow. it will start warming up fairly quickly. if it doesn't, make sure you filled it enough and then hold a lighter under the wick longer. Also put the top back on so you can feel if it is heating up.

After you fill the unit with lighter fluid put the small cap back on. Then hold a flame to that part for about 1 min. Replace the lid and put in bag. It should stay warm for many hours. I hope this was of help. It took me a bit to understand how to work it.

I believe you have a defective light. I love mine. It only has on and off features.

Mine has never gotten warm, Im not convinced it was more than just a red light

To turn on the warmer, hold the button down for 5 seconds. The lights should blink progressively. Hold down for 5 seconds again to turn off.

There is not much to the unit, so if the light is on and the dial is to high, you may just have got a faulty one. I would try another outlet, in case there is a minimal power issue on that (to be sure), otherwise if its not heating up on your first try, it maybe defective.

I would unplug it and replug it in, and go through each step again. When I first started using it, I would forget and set the temperature first instead of last. Look for the blinking dot next to the temperature.

Mine are quite warm, but burning hot. My touch control always works. Can you measure the temperature on the surface of the light? You may want to complain to the seller and request a replacement if your temperature is over 66C (150F) that I measured on my functional lamp.

Have you considered that it may be just broken ? It should light up right when you plug it in. Play with the sensitivity ... If still nothing them obviously it's broken.

Try re-seating the kettle in the heating cradle. The light will come on when it starts heating. It may take a couple of tries to get it to work at first, but it should work pretty good from then on.

Try LED candles and see if that works. Those tend to not heat up as quickly.

Either the light doesn't work or the heater doesnt work. I ordered one of these and it never worked for me. I ended up returning it.

I would return it if it is not even lighting up. Mine works well with the batteries. It sounds like something might be wrong with the unit. It has to light up to work. Good Luck!but

Mine arrived with a color changing light...do I just switch the light bulb or is that my only option? I have to unscrew the bottom to find out...I've had it plugged into my computer for about 15 minutes and the salt is cold.

I had same problem. Keep pushing the Temp. button until all the lights on top row are lit. The only light on bottom row that is lit will be the 20 degree one. Works great. Hope this helps

Yes I have the same issue. You have to it ignite then move it to regular(hi-lo) hopefully it will stay lit. I have to do it several times for I can never make it work

Hi there - My lights work - I would say as long as it is cooking and "heating" don't worry - or send it back. 98
