Candle Care & Safety Tips

For the best Mad
Chandler candle burning experience, we suggest the following
·
Upon
first ever use, burn for at least two hours, or until the entire surface has
turned to liquid wax. This
will help prolong the life of your candle.
·
Trim
wick to 1/4” before each lighting. This will maintain an even and clean burn.
·
Burn
for no more than 3-4 hours at a time.
·
Always
keep candles in sight when in use. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire such as
furniture, drapes, books, paper, flammable materials, etc.
·
Never
leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. Be sure
the wick ember is no longer glowing.
·
Always
burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Don’t burn too many candles in a small room or in a “tight” home where
air exchange is limited.
·
Choose
an area away from drafts, open air vents or ceiling fans. This will help avoid rapid burning and prevent
flare-ups.
·
Candle,
container and/or wax can become hot when in use.
·
Always
burn candle on a stable, heat resistant surface. This can help prevent heat damage to
underlying surfaces and prevent glass containers from breaking.
·
Keep
out of reach of children and pets.
·
Keep
wax pool free from wick, matches and other debris at all times.
·
Never
use a knife or sharp object to remove wax drippings from a glass holder. It might scratch, weaken, or cause the glass to
break upon subsequent use.
·
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.
·
Never
burn a candle all the way down. Extinguish
flame when it comes within 1/2" of the bottom of the container.
·
Extinguish
candle carefully, allow it to cool completely before touching or moving.
·
Recommend
using a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle. Never use water as it can cause wax to splatter or glass to break.
