Before Lighting

 

 

  • Trim the Wick: Wicks are self-trimming, but you may gently trim to ¼ inch before lighting to ensure an even, smoke-free burn.

  • Remove Packaging: Take off any labels, sleeves, or wrapping before use.

  • Choose a Safe Location: Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, vents, or flammable materials. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

 

 


 

 

During Burning

 

 

  • Allow a Full Melt Pool: Let the wax melt completely to the container’s edges on the first burn to prevent tunneling.

  • Limit Each Burn: Burn for no more than 3–4 hours at a time.

  • Stay Present: Never leave a burning candle unattended or fall asleep while it’s lit.

  • Avoid Drafts: Keep candles away from fans, open windows, and air conditioners to ensure an even, clean burn.

 

 


 

 

Extinguishing & Maintenance

 

 

  • Use a Snuffer or Dipper: Extinguish the flame using a snuffer to prevent soot and wax splatter. Avoid blowing out the flame.

  • Let It Cool: Allow the candle to cool completely before handling or relighting.

  • Keep the Wax Clean: Remove wick trimmings or debris from the melt pool to maintain a clean burn.

  • Know When to Stop: Discontinue use when only ½ inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.
