How to Safely Get The Most From Your Candle

​

Before Lighting

• Remove all packaging before use.

• Before each burn, always trim the wick to 10mm. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping or flaring.

• Keep the wax pool clear of all debris including wick trimmings and matches at all times.

​

While Burning:

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.

• Never leave a burning candle with the lid on the jar.

• Burn candle out of the reach of children and pets.

• Always leave at least 10cm between burning candles.

• Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire.

• The container may get hot during use.

• Protect surfaces that may be damaged by heat or dripping wax.

• Do not move a burning or recently extinguished candle.

• Burn away from droughts.

• Keep wax pool free of matches and other debris to avoid flaring.

• Extinguish carefully if the flame becomes enlarged - do not blow out or use water.

• Never allow the flame to contact the sides of the container.

• Candles may produce some soot - to minimise this, regularly trim the wick to 10mm.

• Extinguish carefully when at least 6mm of wax remains.

​

When extinguishing a candle:

• Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle. It is the safest way to prevent hot wax from splattering.

• Never use water to extinguish a candle. Water can cause the hot wax to splatter and might brake the glass container.

• Make sure the candle is completely out and the wick ember is no longer glowing before leaving the room.

• Never cover the container with the lid when the candle flame is freshly extinguished.
