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

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

ALWAYS trim the wick to 0.5 cm before lighting the candle. This ensures a clean burn and prevents sooting. A wick that is too long or with burnt residue (the so-called “mushroom cap”) creates too large a flame that becomes unstable and may cause smoke and soot. Burning a candle with too long a wick or a large flame is dangerous. If the flame becomes too large, extinguish the candle, trim the wick, and then you may relight it if desired.

Blowing out the candle causes smoke. Instead, press the wick into the melted wax with, for example, the tip of a knife and then straighten it again. Make sure the wick remains centered and no burnt wick pieces 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 burning candle – the glass may be hot.

Keep a burning candle away from children and pets.

Avoid drafts near the candle.

Never leave a burning candle unattended!

If the candle glass becomes sooty (because the wick wasn’t trimmed…), you can easily clean the glass with a paper napkin.
