How To Use Your Candle
Place your candle on a heat-resistant surface before lighting. Trim each wick to approximately 5 mm to ensure a clean, even flame. Allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn to prevent tunnelling. Avoid burning for longer than three to four hours at a time. Extinguish the flame gently and let the wax cool completely before relighting.
Care, Safety And Storage
For safe enjoyment, use this candle only as intended and never apply the wax or fragrance directly to skin. Always keep a burning candle within sight and out of reach of children, pets, and flammable materials. Do not move the candle while the wax is melted. Avoid placing it on heat-sensitive surfaces. Store your candle upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve its quality.

Keep out of reach of children and pets and away from food, food preparation areas and open flames when not in use.
