Soy Candle Burning Instructions
Burning tips for soy candles
A lit candle should always be within your sight. Place on a protected, heat-resistant, dry surface, away from anything that can catch fire, and out of reach of children and pets.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Never burn a soy candle on or near any object that could be reached by the flame.
As your candle starts to burn down and melt make sure your wick stays centred and does not contact the side of the container to prevent the jar from possibly cracking.
Read and follow all instructions on the on the bottom of your candle.
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch each time before burning to prevent smoking and carbon mushrooming.
Extinguish the flame if it comes too close to the container to keep the container from getting too hot.
Keep burning soy candles away from drafts and vents.
Handle with care; glass containers are fragile. Do not use if the jar is cracked, chipped or scratched.
If smoking occurs, check for drafts or high traffic areas, which may cause flame to flicker and smoke. Also, be sure that the wick is no longer than 1/4".
Extinguish a candle if it smokes, flickers repeatedly, or the flame becomes too high. Cool, trim wick and re-light.
Do not allow the flame to touch the side of the jar. The jar may become hot. Handle carefully.
Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times. Keep the wick centred.
Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room.
Never touch or move any soy candle when the wax is still melted.
Burn your soy candle until it is melted completely across the top. This will help prevent your soy candle from tunnelling (burning down in the centre). It does not affect the quality of the candle if some wax is left on the sides. The amount will vary per fragrance and burning conditions.
To dispose of unwanted soy wax, pour the wax in a trash can or something similar. Please do not pour wax down the drain as IT WILL CLOG YOUR SINK!
Only burn in a suitable surface or on a plate or other fire and heat resistant surface. Do not burn soy candles for more than 4 hours at a time.
