Candle Making Starter Kit

Enjoying your candle safely

Treat your candle with care and love by following a few simple instructions and safety precautions.

This will ensure that you get the very best from your candle, each and every time they are used.

Burning Instructions:

• Always place your candle and burn on a level fire resistant surface. A coaster is always good and never leave unattended when lit.

• Ensure the melt pool reaches the edge of the candle container before extinguishing, this will help prevent “tunnelling” effect and is especially important during the first burn.

• Trim the wick to 5mm before lighting.

• We advise on not burning your candle for any longer than the maximum recommended burn time. Optimum burn time is 4 hours.

• Keep your candle free from any foreign materials, this includes wick trimming and matches

.

• When only 1cm remains, discard and buy a new Hideaway Candle.

Extinguishing your candle:

• Replace the lid to extinguish or use a snuffer. This will prevent your wicks from drifting off centre thus maximising your candle burn time.

• Blowing out your candle is not recommended as the liquid wax may splatter and your wick may continue to glow and emit a small amount of smoke – which is natural when you extinguish a candle by blowing out rather than replacing the lid or using a snuffer.

• Once your candle is extinguished, allow the wax to solidify and then follow the storage advice.

Relax and enjoy your candle
