Candle Burning Tips

 

Never burn a candle near flammable material!!!

 

NEVER LEAVE A BURNING CANDLE UNATTENDED!!!

 

Jars Candle Burning Tips

  • Trim wick or wicks to 1/8" before lighting.
  • If smoking occurs, blow candle out. Trim wick or wicks, remove trimmings, and relight.
  • Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, or any combustible material. Keep the wick centered.
  • Avoid drafts. Handle with care; glass containers are fragile.
  • Avoid glass-to-glass contact when removing or replacing the lid.
  • Do not use or refill if the jar is cracked, chipped or scratched.
  • Once a candle has burned down, extinguish the flame before it comes in contact with its holder or a candle ring.
  • Do not allow the flame to touch the side of the jar. The jar may become hot. Handle carefully.
  • To minimize wax left on the sides of the jar, burn 3 hours at a time; it is normal for some wax to be left.
  • The amount will vary per color, fragrance and burning conditions.
  • Prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface by placing candle on a trivet and discontinuing use when 1/2" of wax remains.
  • Extinguish carefully before replacing the lid.
  • For even burning, burn at least until top surface liquefies. Let cool one hour before relighting.

Pillar Burning Tips

  • Trim wick or wicks to 1/8" before lighting.
  • If smoking occurs, blow candle out. Trim wick or wicks, remove trimmings, and relight.
  • Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, or any combustible material. Keep the wick centered.
  • Avoid drafts.
  • Place on a protected, heat-resistant, dry surface, away from anything that can catch fire, and out of reach of children and pets. Use holders designed for the particular candle style.
  • Once a candle has burned down, extinguish the flame before it comes in contact with its holder or a candle ring.
  • When wax pool reaches the candle’s edge, extinguish flame and allow candle to harden before relighting. This will prevent dripping.

Tea Light Candle Burning Tips
  • Trim wick or wicks to 1/8" before lighting.
  • If smoking occurs, blow candle out. Trim wick or wicks, remove trimmings, and relight.
  • If wick smokes or builds up carbon, extinguish flame and remove the carbon before relighting.

Votive Candle Burning Tips

  • Remove all packaging before lighting.
  • Trim wick or wicks to 1/8" before lighting.
  • If smoking occurs, blow candle out. Trim wick or wicks, remove trimmings, and relight.
  • Once a candle has burned down, extinguish the flame before it comes in contact with its holder or a candle ring.
  • Burn only in an appropriate holder. Do not burn freestanding.

Never melt wax on a gas stove, it has a Flash Point & is Flammable.
Never leave wax unattended.
