Always place your candle on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface before lighting.
Keep the candle away from drafts, open windows, fans, air conditioning, and high-traffic areas.
Keep candles well away from curtains, paper, furniture, and other flammable materials.
Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.
Before every burn, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm. This helps prevent excessive smoke, soot, and a large flame.
-
The first burn is particularly important.
Allow the candle to burn until the melted wax reaches all the way to the edges of the vessel. This creates a full melt pool and helps prevent tunnelling during future burns.
Depending on the size of your candle, this may take several hours. Do not burn for longer than 4 hours at a time.
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Keep the flame away from anything that could catch fire.
Avoid burning your candle in a draught, as this can cause an uneven burn and excessive soot.
Never move or carry a candle while the wax is hot or liquid.
Keep the wick centred and upright where possible.
If the flame becomes unusually large, flickers excessively, or produces significant smoke, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool, and trim the wick before relighting.
-
Tunnelling happens when the candle burns down the centre while leaving wax around the sides.
To help prevent this, always allow the melt pool to reach the edges of the vessel during each burn, particularly during the first few burns. Avoid short burns where the candle is extinguished before a full melt pool has formed.
-
For safety, stop burning when approximately 10 mm of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.
Never allow the flame to burn directly against the base of the container.
-
Extinguish the candle carefully rather than blowing directly onto the flame, as this can cause hot wax to splatter and may produce smoke.
Allow the candle and melted wax to cool completely before moving it.em description

When not in use, keep your candle covered where possible and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.
Dust and debris can affect the way a candle burns, so keep the wax surface clean. If debris or wick trimmings fall into the wax, allow the candle to cool completely and remove them before the next burn.
