Hookah Parts from Top to Bottom:

Screen/Foil:       Separates the charcoal from the shisha
Clay Bowl:          Holds the shisha
Bowl Grommet:  Keeps bowl air tight
Tray:                  Catches falling ashes
Shaft:                 Enables the smoke to pass from the bowl to base
Hose Grommet:  Keeps hose air tight
Base Grommet:  Keeps the base air tight
Glass Base:        Chamber for the smoke
Hose:                 Enables drawing the tasty smoke from the hookah

Setup:

*Make sure to clean all parts and blow through hoses before first use due to any buildup of debri.
1. Fill the glass base with ice & water. Be sure to fill it to the point where the tube of the shaft is one inch deep in water once it is put in place.
2. Connect the shaft to the glass base. Make sure when you connect it that it is air tight. Using the small rubber insert, attach the hose to the shaft, again make sure that it is air tight.

3. Pack the bowl with some shisha. Fill the bowl to the top by sprinkling the shisha and leaving a flat top layer. Do not pack the bowl too tight for it will make it harder to inhale and will not allow the shisha to burn properly.

4. Attach the tray to the shaft.

5. Attach the larger rubber insert to the top of the hookah shaft and place the bowl tightly on top.

6. Once the bowl is put in place then you must place the charcoal screen or aluminum foil on to the top of the bowl covering the shisha. Cut a square piece of aluminum foil and wrap it around the top part of the bowl or use a piece of the precut hookah foils (recommended). Once it is wrapped around tightly, poke little holes in it using a toothpick or any other sharp object. Make sure you have enough holes to allow the charcoal to burn the shisha.

7. Next light up a piece of charcoal until they are red hot and place them around the edges of the top of the charcoal screen or the aluminum foil. Length of time for lighting up of the charcoal depends on if the charcoal is quick lighting or not.

8. Start taking a series of rapid small puffs to get the shisha burning. You will know that it is burning properly once smoke starts to build up in the glass base of the hookah and starts to flow easily through the hose.

9. After you have completed all of these steps you should be on your way to a pleasant hookah smoke session.
