Candle Safety & Tips
1. Please remove all wrappings, ribbons and tags before burning your new candle.
2. Candles have a great memory. That's why the first time you burn your new candle is so important. It is recommended that you allow your candle to burn until the melt pool reaches the outer edge of the jar.
On an average it takes about 1 hour per inch of the candle's diameter. A complete first burn will allow your candle to have the longest burn life.
After the initial burn, allow your candle to burn no more than 4 hours at a time.
3. Don't forget to trim your candlewick to 1/4-1/2" prior to each burn. Keeping your wick trimmed will prevent smoking, soot and high flame. Make sure no trimmings are left in the wax.
4. Keep your candles away from drafts to prevent smoking. Drafts will cause your candles to burn unevenly and may present a fire hazard.
5. Store candles in a cool, dry place to prevent fading and fragrance loss.
6. Always burn candles on a protected, non-flammable, heat resistant surface. Never burn a candle on, in or near anything flammable.
7. Extinguish candles by gently blowing them out or using a candlesnuffer. Do not put the lid back on the jar while burning. Do not use water to put out candles!
8. To prevent heat damage or fire, discontinue the use of your candle when only 1/2" wax remains in the bottom of the jar.
9. Do not move your candle while it is burning or while the wax is still hot. The jars may become hot and you may get burned!
10. Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets
11. NEVER leave a burning candle unattended!
TIP: If an off center wick is causing your candle to burn unevenly, use a metal spoon to gently push the wick back to the center while the wax is still soft.
TIP: If your wick smokes after being put out, dip a toothpick into the wax and touch the tip of the wick.
