The First Burn is the Most Important!

When you light your candle for the first time, always allow the wax to burn so that it melts across the entire surface to the edges and pools to the edges of the container. This will effectively assist in preventing tunnelling and help promote an even burn for the duration of the candle's life.

Keep your wick trimmed!

Try to ensure that your wick is always kept to 5mm long at all times. We recommend trimming the wick every 3 hours of burn time. When trimming, always extinguish the flame, let the candle cool down to room temperature, remove any wick debris and trim the wick before relighting

Try to avoid burning candles for more than three hours in one sitting. We suggest that after burning a candle for three hours, you should allow the candle to cool for two hours before relighting

Remember to also continually re-position your wick to keep it centered so as prevent the glass being exposed to heat from the wick flame

Precautions

• Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep
• Follow the 2-foot rule - don't place a burning candle within two feet of clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable
• Keep lit candles away from draughts, ceiling fans and any air currents. Any form of air current can cause uneven burning, smoking, diminish the scent throw and even decrease the burn time
• Trim the wick to 5mm each time the candle is lit. This helps prevent the flame from getting too large
• Keep candles out of reach of children and pets
• A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time
• Only burn candle to 1/2 cm from the bottom. This will leave enough wax for the wick to stay stable and safe
• Do not burn the candle if the container is cracked, chipped, scratched or damaged in any way.
