Burning Instructions
Please following all of the guidelines listed below as they will help ensure the safety of you and your loved ones!!
Trim wick to ¨ü each time before lighting. You may need to extinguish the candle, and trim the wick back to ¨ü after several hours of burning. DO NOT trim too short! This will result in a small flame and the melt pool will not reach the edges of the jar. It is very important for the melt pool to reach the edge on the first burn.
Did you know that soy candles have a memory?
When you light a soy candle for the first time it remembers how far across the surface it melted. For best results and longest enjoyment of your soy candle let your candle surface completely liquefy before extinguishing it. A general rule of thumb is one hour per inch of width of the candle. This will result in a longer lasting soy candle without the occurrence of tunneling down the center.
Most candles give an optimal burn in room temperatures averaging 70 degree's. Keep in mind your burning environment. If you room temperature is 60¢ªdegree's, you may not achieve a full melt pool or have poor scent throw. If you room is at 85¢ª degree's, your candle may burn faster and need the wick trimmed more often.
The candles may also exhibit some "sweating" during extreme temperature changes. Soy wax has a lower melting point than regular paraffin wax, and will release excess moisture that it cannot hold. You can leave it or wipe it out with a paper towel. It does not affect the burn quality, and will generally not show up again after your first burn. This typically only shows up in the jar candles. For optimum performance, store your candle in a cool area, out of direct sunlight.
Extinguish the candle if it begins to smoke, flicker or if the flame becomes larger than 1". Let candle cool, trim wick to 3/8" and relight. When you are trimming your candle wicks - do not leave the trimmings in the candle wax. This will cause black soot. Smoke is usually caused by the wick needing to be trimmed but can also be caused by drafts. Candles must be burned away from drafts and on a stable heat resistant surface.
Please burn wisely!! Keep candles away from children, pets and curtains! Never Leave A Burning Candle Unattended!
