Top Safety Tips

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  Always extinguish your candle when leaving the room or going to sleep.

• Keep candles away from anything flammable.
  Place candles at least 30cm away from curtains, books, paper, and other materials.

• Burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
  Make sure your candle is on a flat surface where it can’t be knocked over.

• Keep out of reach of children and pets.

• Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
  This helps prevent the jar from overheating and ensures even burning.

Before You Burn

• Trim the wick to 5mm before each use.
  This prevents excessive flickering and soot buildup.

• Let the wax pool fully melt across the top (especially on the first burn).
  This prevents tunneling and helps your candle last longer.

When to Stop Burning

• Discontinue use when 1cm of wax remains.
  Burning to the bottom of the jar can cause overheating and potential breakage.

Candle Etiquette

• Use a snuffer to extinguish your candle instead of blowing it out (helps reduce smoke).

• Store your candles in a cool, dry place — away from direct sunlight to preserve the scent.

• Don’t move a lit candle. Always wait until the wax has fully solidified before handling.
