How to Burn Your Candle
Always light your candle in a well-ventilated room, away from drafts and fans. Air movement can cause sooting (black marks on the vessel) and lead to rapid or uneven burning.
For regular-sized candles, burn for 1½ to 2 hours per use. Burning for shorter periods may cause tunneling, leaving excess wax around the edges. Burning for longer than 4 hours may cause the wick to shift or lean.
Discontinue use when approximately 10 mm of wax remains at the bottom. Always monitor your candle closely when the wax level is low.
How to Care for Your Wick
Keep the wax pool free from wick trimmings, matches, and debris. Foreign objects can act as a secondary wick, causing the candle to burn faster and unevenly.
After extinguishing the flame with a snuffer, gently re-center and straighten the wick while the wax is still soft. Burning a candle for extended periods may cause the wick to shift or lean. If a lit wick moves close to the vessel wall, extinguish the flame and straighten it to help prevent the vessel from cracking.
Long or crooked wicks can produce high flames, smoke, or soot. To avoid this, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm once the wax has fully set.
