General Safety Warnings

WARNING:

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep away from flammable materials, drafts, and open windows.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Burn candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
  • Do not burn near anything that can catch fire.
  • Do not use this candle with candle warmers or candle lamps unless the product is specifically stated as suitable for that purpose.

Before You Burn

  • Trim the wick to 6 mm before each burn.
  • Ensure the surface is clean and level.
  • Allow the candle to come to room temperature before lighting, especially if stored in very hot or cold environments.

While Burning

  • Always burn within sight.
  • Allow the entire top layer of wax to melt on the first burn to help prevent tunnelling.
  • Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
  • Leave at least 10 cm between burning candles.
  • Do not move the candle while it is lit or while the wax is liquid.
  • Glass containers may become hot during use. Handle with care.

When to Stop Using the Candle

  • Discontinue use when 10 mm of wax remains or when the wick clip becomes visible.
  • Never burn a candle all the way to the bottom of the container.

After Use

  • Allow the candle to cool completely before touching or moving it.
  • To clean soot from glass containers, use a damp cloth only after the container has cooled.

Storage & Handling

  • Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid placing candles in areas with high humidity or fluctuating temperatures.

Additional Tips

  • If your candle smokes or flickers, extinguish it, trim the wick, and relight.
  • Use a snuffer or lid to extinguish the flame instead of blowing it out.

Directions for Use

  • Remove the stopper from the bottle and insert the reeds.

  • We suggest flipping reeds 1-3 times per week or if the tips dry out. Flip less frequently if fragrance throw is sufficient.

Additional Tips

  • Wash hands thoroughly after handling reeds.

  • Do not reuse reeds between different scents, as they absorb fragrance permanently.
