General Safety and Usage Instructions for Candles
General caution when using real candles
- Never leave burning candles/scented candles unattended.
- Keep them out of reach of children and pets.
Placement - where to safely place candles
- Place scented candles on a stable, heat-resistant, and non-flammable surface.
- Keep candles away from easily flammable materials such as curtains, paper, furniture, or clothing.
- Place scented candles in well-ventilated areas, but not in drafts, to avoid dripping or uncontrolled burning.
Health when using scented candles
- Use scented candles in well-ventilated rooms to prevent the accumulation of smoke or strong scents.
- People with respiratory conditions, allergies, or scent sensitivities should be cautious or refrain from use.
Correct lighting and extinguishing of candles
- Use long matches or lighters to avoid burning yourself on the flame.
- Extinguish the candle with a candle snuffer to minimize wax and smoke.
Burn time and wax
- Do not burn scented candles for longer than 3-4 hours at a time to prevent overheating of the wax.
- Allow the candle to cool completely before re-lighting.
Proper wick care for low-soot burning of candles
- Keep the wick trimmed to about 1 cm to prevent sooting and excessive smoke.
- Regularly remove burnt wick remnants and other debris from the wax.
Recognizing the end of a candle's useful life in time
- Extinguish the scented candle before it has completely burned down to prevent the container from overheating or breaking.
- Do not continue to use the candle if only 1 cm of wax remains in the container.
Safety precautions for open flames
- Always keep appropriate extinguishing agents, such as a fire extinguisher, a fire blanket, or a bucket of sand, readily available.
- In case of fire, never pour water on burning candles/scented candles, as hot wax can splatter.
