Candle care

WARNING: Failure to follow safety instructions may result in fire, injury or smoke damage.  Keep away from children and pets.

BURN TIMES  First burn - allow candle to burn for the full 4-hours to prevent tunnelling.  Never burn a candle for longer than 4-hours at a time. If you burn longer than this period, the wick can become damaged and/or the candle jar can become too hot and crack.  Never burn your candle when 1cm of wax remains at the bottom of the glass candle jar.  Container candle burn times will vary. Fragrance, colour, burning habits and environmental conditions affect the time a candle will last.  

TRIM THE WICK Always trim the wick to 5mm-1cm and remove any wick debris before each burn.  Prevent soot from forming on the glass by keeping wicks properly placed and trimmed.

AVOID DRAUGHTS Candles burn best in still air. If you can’t avoid draughts (window/door ways), ensure you turn the candle to prevent uneven burning.

GLASS CARE Never allow the candle flame to come in contact with the side of the glass.  If the glass becomes blackened while burning, extinguish candle, allow to cool and clean with a dry paper towel.  Do not use if glass is cracked, chipped or broken.

CANDLE BURN Burn candle on an appropriate flat heat-resistant surface.  Never move a burning candle.  Never leave a burning candle unattended. Glass may become hot.  Keep away from curtains and flammable objects.

PUTTING CANDLES OUT Use a candle snuffer to prevent wicks from drifting off centre and to avoid wax splash.  Ensure candle is extinguished, wax is solid and jar is cold before handling.

WHEN NOT IN USE Keep candle covered to avoid dust build-up.
