Our candles are designed to be enjoyed safely in your home when used as directed. Please follow the guidelines below to ensure a safe and long-lasting burn.
General Safety
- Never leave a burning candle unattended
- Keep candles out of reach of children and pets
- Always burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface
- Keep away from flammable items such as curtains, bedding or paper
- Avoid placing candles near open windows, fans or air vents
Before Lighting
- Trim the wick to approximately 5mm before each use
- Ensure the candle is placed upright on a flat, level surface
- Remove any packaging or foreign objects from the candle
Burn Guidelines
- Allow the wax to melt to the edges of the jar on the first burn (approximately 2 hours) to prevent tunnelling
- Do not burn for less than 1 hour or more than 3 hours at a time
- Do not burn the candle all the way down
- Discontinue use when approximately 12mm of wax remains at the base
While Burning
- Do not move the candle while it is lit or while the wax is still hot
- The glass may become hot during use. Allow it to cool completely before handling
- Ensure the wick remains centred during burning
- If the flame becomes too large, flickers excessively or produces smoke, extinguish the candle, allow it to cool, trim the wick and relight
Extinguishing Your Candle
- Use a candle snuffer where possible to avoid splashing wax
- Ensure the flame is fully extinguished before leaving the room
- Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting
Additional Tips
- Keep the wax pool free from debris such as wick trimmings or matches
- Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
