Burning Safety
Burning Instructions
The following burning tips will help you get the most out of your candles.
When burning a candle for the first time, it is important to give it a "memory burn". You should burn the candle for 1 hour (not more and not
less) for each inch of its diameter. Example: a candle 3" in diameter should be burned for three hours to establish its "memory". This allows
your jar candle to establish a full melt pool increasing the scent throw. If a candle isn't given a proper memory burn (meaning if your candle is
burned for a short period of time), it will "Core Burn" down the center and a good scent throw cannot be achieved. Also, you'll be left with wax at
the bottom and at the side.
- NEVER LEAVE A BURNING CANDLE UNATTENDED!
- Always burn candles on a heat resistant surface. Candle holders may become hot and damage furniture. A good heat resistant surface
can be made from a ceramic tile (cover bottom with felt to protect furniture. - Keep all burning candles away from children and pets.
- Position candles away from flammable objects.
- Place freestanding candles in a shallow dish or bowl to catch the wax in case of a blowout.
- Do not burn candles to the very bottom.
Burning Instructions
The following burning tips will help you get the most out of your candles.
- Always keep the wick trimmed 1/8th to 1/4 inch.
- Burning most candles no longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time will increase total burn time.
- Large diameter pillar candles should be burned no longer than 2 hours at a time. This helps keep the sides intact, allowing the candle to
glow from within. - If a candle burns unevenly it is in a draft. Rotate the candle 90 degrees periodically to keep burning uniform, or move it to another
location. - Snug a loose fitting taper in its socket by wrapping bottom of candle with tin foil. Never use a flammable material for this.
- Container candles (jar candles, votives in holders, etc...) should be burned 1 hour for each inch of diameter. This allows the wax pool to
cover the entire surface, improves scent throw, and extends the burning time.
