FOR THE BEST BURN EXPERIENCE AND TO MAKE YOUR ESSENTIAL OIL CANDLES LAST, KEEP THE FOLLOWING IN MIND:
Fontana Candles are hand-made from natural ingredients. Slight variations are to be expected. Beeswax expands and contracts which may result in small cracks.
Always store your candle in a cool, dry place at room temperature and keep it away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Be sure to store your candle with the lid on.
* THE FIRST TIME YOU LIGHT YOUR CANDLE, allow it to burn until the wax pool melts all the way to the edge; for the large candle, this may take 2 to 3 hours. This prevents wax from tunneling.
*THE WAX AND CONTAINER GET EXTREMELY HOT. Please do not touch the container while your candle is burning. If you plan on burning your candles for longer than 3-4 hours, we recommend the large 14-ounce tin.
* TRIM YOUR WICK EACH TIME YOU LIGHT THE CANDLE. Remove any burnt ends. We recommend lighting a wick that is approximately 1/4" in length.
*If your flame gets larger than 1 ½”, please extinguish the candle and allow it to cool. Once your candle cools, you can trim your wick to approximately ¼” to ½”.
* ENSURE YOUR CANDLE IS PLACED ON A HEAT-SAFE SURFACE. We recommend burning candles on a coaster, and not directly on your furniture. The tin lid makes a perfect coaster!
* Do not allow wick trimmings, dust, or other materials to accumulate in the wax pool.
* To ensure safety and longevity, be sure to check the Candle Warning label located on the bottom of the candle.
*Discard your candle once ½ inch of wax is remaining in the jar.
*If your wick becomes unstuck from the bottom of the tin and travels to the edge, please stop burning it immediately. The jar can shatter if this occurs for too long. This typically occurs at the very end of the candle's burn.
