Ensure candles stay upright to avoid wax dripping and to minimize the risk of flaring. Glass holders can crack if the flame touches the side.

Do not place candles in direct sunlight or on/near a direct heat source such as a fire or radiator as this can affect the way the candle burns. Remember that electrical items like television sets also get hot and therefore should be treated as a source of heat.

Candle jars must not be burned for over 3 hours per session & always trim the wick before the next burn commences. It is good practice not to burn a candle for over 3 hours at a time.

It is important that you do not move the candle when it is burning. The hot and liquid wax can splatter and cause tricky wax stains and perhaps severe burns.

Flammable objects in the wax pool, such as matches, insects, flammable decorations, can ignite and cause the candle to overheat and flare up.

Before lighting, place on a heat resistant plate or holder, to protect surface from any downward heat.

It’s the safest way to prevent hot wax splatters.

It is good practice to trim the wick back down to 5mm after each burn. This will prevent sooting on the jar.

This will help prevent rapid, uneven burning, and avoid flame flare-ups and sooting. Draughts can also blow nearby lightweight items into the flame.

Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.
