Placing your candle.

• Place on a stable, level surface away from where it may be knocked over.
• Ensure the surface is heat proof.
• Keep away from flammable objects.
• Avoid draughts.

Lighting your candle.

• Make sure the glass isn't damaged.
• Check the wick is no longer than 7mm. If it is, trim it to the right length.
• Remove any dirt or debris from the surface of the candle.

While your candle is lit.

• Never leave unattended.
• Never carry whilst lit.
• Don't put on a cold or wet surface when the candle is hot. The sudden temperature change may crack the glass.
• A flickering flame indicates the candle is in a draught. For optimum burning, extinguish, wait for it to cool then move away from the draught.

Extinguishing the candle.

• The most effective way to put out the flame is to use a knife tip or a similar long thin piece of metal, and push the wick under the surface of the liquid wax and pull it straight back up again. This primes the wick for next time and stops smoke from forming.
• Leave to cool before touching or moving.

Storing your candle.

• As a natural product your candle's scent subltly changes from the time it is made in a process called curing. To ensure that you can tell your candle is as fresh as possible each candle is shipped with a creation date. From that date the candle cures for up to two weeks as the scents blend together. This doesn't affect the quality of the candle and curing will continue whether or not the candle is used.
• Using the tight sealing container your candle was supplied with will aid the curing process making it stronger and over long periods, help to retain the scent. The container is also designed to keep it secure.
• Keep at room temperature and away from sunlight.
• Wet spots or marbling on the sides are perfectly normal and will not affect the quality or performance of the candle. They are caused by changes of temperature during storage, where the wax and glass expand and contract at different rates. This means that in places the wax has moved just out of contact with the glass.
