Please follow these simple yet extremely important candle burning rules to ensure a pleasant and safe burn:

* Burn the candle continuously until the entire surface melts. This ensures even burning of the candle.

ALWAYS trim the wick to 0.5 cm before lighting. This ensures the candle burns cleanly and doesn’t smoke. An excessively long wick or a wick with burning residue (so-called mushrooming) causes a flame that is too large, becoming unstable and potentially causing smoke and soot. Burning a candle with a too long wick or large flame is dangerous. If the flame becomes too large, extinguish the candle, trim the wick shorter, and relight if desired.

Blowing out the candle causes smoke. Instead, press the wick into the melting wax with, for example, the tip of a knife and lift it back up. Ensure the wick stays in the center and no burnt wick pieces remain in the wax.

Do not burn the candle for more than 3 hours continuously.

Always burn the candle on a heat-resistant base, away from flammable items. Stop burning the candle when there is less than 1 cm of wax left at the bottom of the glass.

Be cautious when moving a burning candle – the glass can be hot.

Keep burning candles out of reach of children and animals.

Avoid drafts near the candle.

Never leave a burning candle unattended!

If the candle glass becomes sooty (because you haven’t trimmed the wick…), you can easily clean the glass with a paper napkin.
