care instruction + safety
Care Instructions
- On first burn, to avoid tunneling, allow the candle to burn long enough to let wax reach a full melt pool. Always remember, your candle retains a memory. Keep wick trim at 1/4 inch. It prevents uneven burning, dripping, flaring and black smoke.
- Burn for 2-3 hours each time. Never burn longer than 4 hours. It will help the candle to burn evenly.
- Keep the pool of wax free of wick trimmings and any debris at all times.
- Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. It will also help prevent possible heat damage to surfaces and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking.
- Remember to always trim your wick to 1/8 - 3/16 inch before each burn.
Safety
- Don’t burn near things that catch fire.
- Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lit candles where children, pets, or anyone else can knock them over.
- Do not touch or move the candle until it has thoroughly cooled and wax has hardened up.
- Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Before re-lighting, let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check for unwanted drafts.
- Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle, if available, as it’s the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.
- Do not use water to extinguish a candle; this can cause the hot wax to splatter and break the glass container.
- The manufacturer is not responsible for product misuse.
- If you will leave the room or go to bed, be sure to extinguish all candles first.
