Instructions for Proper Candle Burning

Before you light the candle

• Cut the wick to a length of about 0.5 cm before each use. This will help the candle burn evenly and avoid smoke.
• Make sure the surface of the candle is clean of wick residue, matches or other objects.
• Always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface and away from drafts.
• Light it in a well-ventilated area, but avoid strong drafts that can cause it to burn unevenly.
• Do not leave the candle burning continuously for more than 4 hours . Let it cool for at least 2 hours before relighting.
• Use a long match or lighter and keep hair or loose clothing away from the flame.

While the candle burns

• Never leave it on unattended.
• Keep it away from objects that could catch fire, as well as from children or pets.
• Do not move the candle while it is burning and extinguish it before it reaches the bottom (1–2 cm before it is finished).
• If you are burning multiple candles, leave enough distance between them for safety.
• Extinguish the candle if you see the flame flickering excessively or rising too high.
• Do not use candles as a night light. There is a risk if you fall asleep.

When you blow out the candle

• The safest way is with a candle extinguisher .
• Never extinguish with water.
• Make sure the candle is completely extinguished and the wick is no longer glowing before leaving the room.
• Let it cool completely before moving or touching it.
