The Art of Burning Candles

• Burn candles within sight at all times.
• Never close the lid on a burning candle or warm candle.
• Always keep the wick trimmed on a candle to 1/8" or less.
• Keep out of the reach of children and pets.
• Place the candle container on a safe heat resistant surface. Never on or near anything that can ignite and cause a fire.
• The container can get extremely hot, handle with care!
• Do not burn any container candle below ½" from the bottom of the jar.
• If the entire wax is melted in the bottom of the container, extinguish the flame. The candle is done.

• Trim the wick before relighting a candle to 1/8" or less.
• Burn this candle at least two to three hours minimum for uniform consumption.
• After a maximum of three hours extinguish the flame, let cool, trim the wick to 1/8" or less and relight if so desired.
• If black smoke or soot is observed coming off the flame extinguish immediately. This is caused by letting the wick get too long or the candle is in a drafty area. Always burn candles within sight.
• Do not let wick trimmings, matches or any other foreign matter collect inside the jar. This material can be highly flammable and may create a hazard.

• Never leave burning candles unattended or out of sight.
• Burning times may vary depending on fragrance, colour and climatic conditions.
• It is quite normal for some wax to be left in the container.
• Country Home Candle uses only the finest 100% cotton wicking in all related products.

Our 100% cotton wicking is attached to safety tabs which stops the candle from burning to the bottom of the jar.

Jar Candles

• Extinguish the candle flame before covering with a lid.
• Do not use the candle if the glass container is cracked or scratched.
• Do not allow the candle flame to touch the glass surface.
• Always place the container on a safe heat resistant surface while the candle is in use.
• Never touch the glass surface of a jar candle while burning, it can be extremely hot.
• Burn times will vary depending on colour, fragrance and burning conditions.
• It is normal for some wax to be left in the container.
• Rotate the candle regularly to help even burning.

Votives

• Always burn a votive in an appropriate votive holder, never free standing. Our votives use self-centering wick tabs for safety.

Pillars

• When the wax pool reaches ¼" from the candle's edge, extinguish the flame, let cool, trim the wick to 1/8" and relight if desired.

Scented Tea Lights

• Do not burn in enclosed spaces. Use only in accessories that have adequate ventilation.
• If soot or smoke is visible off the flame, extinguish, let cool, trim before relighting.

Simmering slices

• Use only in well ventilated potpourri pots with an unscented tealight candle as the heat source.
• Never use in electric potpourri pots, they may overheat the wax.

Firestarters

• Use firestarters only in fireplaces, woodstoves or outside campfires. Not intended for fragrance or as a candle.
