Candle Safety & Burning Tips

CANDLE SAFETY

~Never burn unattended and keep out of reach of children and pets.

~Always burn on a level, heat resistant surface away from flammable items and away from drafts.

~Keep candle free from any foreign matter (matches, wick trimmings).

~Trim wicks to 1/4 inch before each burn to prevent flame from becoming too big.

~Do not allow wicks to touch sides of jar.

~Do not exceed a 4 hour burn.

~Discontinue use when 1/2" wax remains -- glass becomes hot during operation.

CANDLE BURNING TIPS FOR BEST PERFORMANCE

Always trim wicks to 1/4 inch before each burn to prevent flames from becoming too big. This will reduce the production of soot and blackening of jar and keep it from burning too hot which could cause glass breakage. This is most important for a clean and safe burn.

Keep away from drafts. Drafts can cause the wicks to smoke and create an uneven burn.

Burn to liquefy an even layer of wax out to the sides of jar during each burn. This will prevent wax hang-up on the sides of jar. However, do not exceed a 4 hour burn.

Special Note: Wick trimming is not only important for a clean burn, but will also improve the life span of the candle. If the wicks are left long, the flames become too large and too hot which consumes the wax too fast. Marathon burning (burning for too long of a period) will increase soot production (even in the cleaner burning soy) and can also decrease scent throw. Marathon burning causes the candle to burn too hot which I have found decreases scent throw. The flames which become too large and too hot can burn up your fragrance oil quicker than what can release into the air.
