We want you to enjoy your candle to the fullest, safely. Please read these instructions before you light it.
While your candle burns
- Never leave a burning candle unattended. Put it out before you go to sleep or leave the room.
- Keep burning candles away from curtains, furniture and anything else that can catch fire.
- Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets.
- Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, large enough to catch any wax.
- Burn candles in a well-ventilated room, away from draughts.
- Keep burning candles at least 8 cm apart.
- Never use a burning candle as a night light.
- Don’t burn a candle for more than four hours at a time.
Wick and flame
- Trim the wick to about 1 cm before each use.
- Keep the wick centred. Towards the end, the wick can drift if you move the jar; nudge it back carefully with a match once the wax has set.
- Put the candle out if it smokes, if the flame gets too high, or if the flame comes too close to the edges or the bottom of the jar.
After use
- The glass gets hot. Let the candle cool down before you move it or put the lid on.
- Stop using the candle when about 1 cm of wax is left at the bottom of the jar.
