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

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

ALWAYS trim the wick to 0.5 cm before lighting the candle. This ensures the candle burns cleanly and does not produce soot. A wick that is too long or has combustion residues (so-called “mushrooming”) causes too large a flame, which becomes unstable and may create smoke and soot. Burning a candle with a wick that is too long or a flame that is too large is dangerous. If the flame becomes too large, extinguish the candle, trim the wick, and relight as desired.

Blowing out the candle causes smoke. Instead, press the wick into the melted wax with, for example, the tip of a knife and straighten it again. Make sure the wick remains centered and no burnt wick fragments are left in the wax.

Do not burn the candle for more than 3 hours at a time.

Always burn the candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from flammable objects. Stop burning the candle when less than 1 cm of wax remains at the bottom of the glass.

Be careful when moving a lit candle—the glass may be hot.

Keep burning candles away from children and pets.

Avoid drafts near the candle.

Never leave a burning candle unattended!

If the candle glass becomes sooty (as you may have forgotten to trim the wick shorter…), you can easily clean the glass with a paper napkin.
