To optimize your SWEET WITH ME candle burning experience, we recommend these following guidelines:
-
To prolong the life of your candle, try to burn for at least two hours when first lighting up your candle.
- For PILLAR CANDLES always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface, never directly on furniture or counter tops.
-
Always trim the wick to ¼" before each lighting. This will maintain an even and clean burn. Wicks with a black cap (mushrooming) can cause uneven burning or popping flares.
-
Do not burn for more than 3-4 hours at a time.
-
Always keep your candles in sight when in use. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from flammable objects such as furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, decorations, etc.
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. Make sure the wick and ember is no longer glowing or smoking.
-
Candles should only be burned in a well-ventilated room. Choose an area away from open air vents, ceiling fans, and drafts.
-
The candle, container and/or wax can become hot when in use. After extinguishing the candle, allow it to cool completely before touching or moving.
-
Always burn candle on a flat and stable, heat resistant surface. This prevents heat damage to underlying surfaces and also prevent glass containers from breaking.
-
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
-
Extinguish a candle if it repeatedly smokes, flickers, or the flame becomes too high. The candle isn’t burning properly. Cool, align and trim the wick, then check for drafts before relighting.
-
Stop using your candle when there's half an inch of wax left at the bottom.The wick and flame should never reach the bottom of the container.
-
Always read and follow the manufacturer’s use and safety instructions carefully.
