Candle Safety, Usage Guidelines and Disclaimers

Candle Safety and Usage Guidelines

  1. Trim the Wick: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch to prevent excessive flickering, smoking, and uneven burning.
  2. Initial Burn: Allow your candle to burn for 2-3 hours during the initial lighting to create a full and even wax pool across the surface. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an optimal burn for future use.
  3. Subsequent Burns: For subsequent burns, allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the container to prevent tunneling and maximize the fragrance throw. Avoid extinguishing the candle until the entire surface has melted to prevent tunneling.
  4. Burn Time: Never burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Excessive burning can cause overheating, which may lead to the container cracking or other safety hazards.
  5. Safety Precautions:
    • Carefully check the glass jar for any cracks or damage before lighting. If you notice any issues, please do not use the candle.
    • Keep the candle away from drafts, flammable objects, and out of reach of children and pets.
    • Always place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
    • Always use a candle holder or candle dish when burning pillar candles. Even for container candles, using a holder or dish is highly recommended.
    • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
    • Discontinue use when only 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container to prevent heat damage.
    • Do not move the candle while it is burning or the wax is hot, as this poses a fire hazard and may cause the wick to shift. If the wick moves from its original position, discontinue use to ensure safe burning.
    • Candle jars can become very hot during and after use. Allow them to cool completely before touching or moving.
    • Do not attempt to remove the sigil stone while the candle is lit. Extinguish the flame first, then carefully take out the stone without burning yourself.
  6. Extinguishing the Flame: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish the candle. Avoid using water to extinguish the flame as it may cause splattering and damage.
  7. Storage: Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent melting or warping of the container.
  8. Disposal: Allow the candle to cool completely before handling or moving. Once the candle has cooled, discard any remaining wax and clean the container thoroughly before reusing or recycling.
