Candle Burning 101:
 |
Place on a heat resistant, dry surface away from anything that can catch fire, and out of reach of children, pets, and drafts. When appropriate, use holders designed for the particular candle style. |
|
|
Do not trim wick(s) when lighting the first time. After that, trim to 1/4" to 1/2" before lighting. |
|
|
A burning candle should never be left unattended. Keep candle in sight at all times. |
|
|
Keep candle wax free of match pieces, wick trimmings, flammables, and combustibles. |
|
|
Avoid burning candles in a draft or near excessive vibration as this may cause uneven burning. |
|
|
Allowing candles to liquefy to the edge before extinguishing will prevent tunneling. The larger the diameter candle, the longer it will take the candle to liquefy to the edge. Occasionally different fragrances burn at different rates of time. |
|
|
Damaged containers should not be used. Do not use if cracked, chipped or scratched. |
|
|
Glass containers may become hot. Always burn candle on a protected surface or coaster, and avoid moving lit candles. |
|
|
Discontinue use of candle when 1/4" of wax remains. Allowing candle to burn until no liquid remains will cause excessive heat, and may cause glass to break or incur damage to surface area where candle is being burned. |
|
|
Never replace the lid on a container candle to extinguish the flame. |
|
|
Do not allow direct sunlight to any candle. Sunlight may cause change in candle characteristics and/or even oxidize. |
|
|
Store candles in a cool, dark, dry place. |
|
|
If candle begins to smoke, it is an indication that the wick is too long. Extinguish the wick and wait for wax to solidify before trimming the wick and relighting. |
|
|
NOTE: Soy wax candles are virtually soot-free. |
