How To Use Your Candle
Place your candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts. Before lighting, trim the wick to approximately 5 mm to promote a clean, even burn. Allow the wax pool to reach the edges on the first burn to prevent tunnelling. Avoid burning for longer than 3 to 4 hours at a time. Extinguish the flame gently and allow the wax to cool before relighting.
Care, Safety And Storage
For external use only. Do not apply wax or fragrance to skin. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep out of reach of children and pets.

Do not store candles inside parked vehicles or in areas that become very hot, especially during South African summers. Keep out of reach of children and pets and away from food, food preparation areas and open flames when not in use.
