Candle Safety Guidelines
To ensure you safely enjoy your candle, please follow these essential guidelines:
-
First Burn: When lighting your candle for the first time, allow the wax to melt all the way to the edges of the glass. This may take about 3-4 hours, but it helps prevent tunneling.
-
Wick Maintenance: Trim the candle wick to ¼ inch before each use to promote a clean, even burn.
-
Keep It Clean: Make sure the candle is free of debris, such as wick trimmings, matches, and dust, to ensure a safe and pleasant experience.
-
Stable Surface: Always burn your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface to prevent accidents.
-
Burn Time: Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time to maintain safety and extend its life.
-
Supervision: Always burn the candle within sight; never leave it unattended.
-
Keep Away: Ensure the candle is out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents.
-
No Night Burning: Never leave the candle burning when leaving the house or going to sleep.
-
Avoid Flammable Objects: Keep the burning candle away from flammable items like drapes, paper, and other combustibles.
-
Wax Level: Discontinue burning the candle when ½ inch of wax remains to avoid overheating the container.
-
Avoid Drafts: Keep the burning candle away from drafty areas, such as fans and vents, to ensure a consistent burn.
-
Limit Candles: Don’t burn too many candles in a small room to prevent excess heat and smoke buildup.
-
Liquid Wax Caution: Never touch or move a burning candle when the wax is liquid; the wax can be extremely hot.
-
Cooling Down: Allow the candle to cool completely before handling it to avoid burns.
-
Extinguishing: Use a snuffer to extinguish candles for safety. Never extinguish candles with water, as this can cause splattering and possible injury.
