Burning instructions
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep out of the reach of children and domestic animals. Always ensure at least 10cm of space between burning candles. Do not light candles on or near anything that can catch fire. Light the candle only on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
Never leave a candle lit for more than 4 hours in total. Do not allow the flame to touch the glass. The first ignition should last 3-4 hours, so that you get an even melted surface. Make sure the wick is upright and centered before the wax hardens. Always cut the wick to 5mm before lighting to prevent smoking and damage to the glass. The glass may become warm during use. Extinguish when 5mm of wax remains and do not relight.
