Candle Safety & Burning Tips
*Never leave a burning candle unattended.
*Keep burning candles away from children and pets.
*Keep wax free of matches, wick trimmings, or other flammable materials.
*Keep wick centered and trimmed to 1/2 inch to aide in soot and smoke prevention
*Burn only on stable, heat resistant surface for not more than 4 hours at a time.
*Keep out of drafts and away from ceiling fans.
Container Candles:
-Burn candle for at least 1 hour for every inch of container width.
-With the first lighting, burn the candle for 3 hours, or at least until you have a melt pool that completely stretched across the top of the candle. This first full burn will reduce the likelihood of core burning.
-Avoid lighting and relighting your candle for very short periods of time. By having these habits, you increase the possibility that the candle may burn unevenly and could even core-burn down the center leaving unsightly wax clinging to the edge of the container.
-To extinguish your candle, we recommend a wick-dipper or other approved device. Blowing out a candle will cause unnecessary smoking of the wick and unneeded soot release.
-Do not place your candle in direct sunlight or directly under a fluorescent light, as this will increase the likelihood that your candle will fade and discolor.
-Always burn your container candle on a candle pan or on a coaster. Placing your candle directly on furniture can cause permanent damage, especially to wood. DeLori Candle Company is not liable for damage caused by improper burning techniques.
