CANDLE CARE

• Always burn within sight.
• Keep away from flammable materials, children, and pets.
• Place on a heat-resistant, stable surface.
• Avoid drafts — they cause uneven burning and smoking.
• Don’t burn more than 4 hours at a time.
• Never move a candle while it’s lit or the wax is hot.
• Allow the candle to cool before relighting or moving.
• Stop burning when ½″ (1 cm) of wax remains.
• Keep wax free of debris.
• Keep lid on when not in use to preserve fragrance and prevent dust.

• The first burn is the most important — it teaches your candle how to melt.
• This determines how your candle will perform for its entire life.
• Burn until the wax melts evenly to every edge (about 2-4 hours).
• Once the melt pool reaches the edges, extinguish the flame and let the wax cool completely before relighting.
• From then on, your candle will burn evenly and cleanly every time.

Wood wicks perform differently than cotton, and sometimes they can be a little tricky to re-light. If you are having trouble getting your wick going again:

• After the first burn, make sure the wick is trimmed and free of any charred wood.
• Hold your lighter or match at a slight angle toward the base of the wick and allow the flame to “catch” for a few seconds before pulling away.
• Rotate the candle slowly to help the wax pool soften around the wick.
• If the flame goes out, gently remove excess ash and try again — clean wood relights more easily once the wax softens.
