If you wish to get it working, it is very important you try out the paraffin reservoir for leaks by filling with paraffin out of doors first. Paraffin, due to it's lower 'surface tension' will find small pinhole leaks that water doesn't - such small leaks must be stopped to prevent leakages inside the lamp which can then ignite if the lamp is in use....
