- Keep your candle away from flammable materials and out of reach of kids and pets to avoid any accidents.
- For optimal burn, it's best to not burn your candle for more than four hours at a time.
- Make sure to use a heat-resistant candle holder or plate to keep things safe.
Lighting your Candle
- On the first burn, it's important to allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges for an even burn.
- Before each use, make sure to trim the wick to about 1/4 inch for the best burn.
- Place the candle on a level surface, and ensure the wick is centered.
Burning time
- Burn your candle for at least 1-2 hours on the first use to create a full wax pool and enjoy maximum fragrance.
- Ideal burning time is 2-4 hours at a time for an even burn and optimal fragrance.
- Remember to not burn your candle for more than four hours at a time.
Extinguishing the Candle
- Use a snuffer to turn off your candle, it's the safest way to do it.
- Don't blow the candle out, as it can cause hot wax to splatter.
Storage
- Keep your candles in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
- Store your candle in its box to protect it from dust and moisture when not in use.
