CANDLE CARE
Never place candles in close proximity to
flammable material.

A least 4” should separate burning candles from
one another. Avoid grouping too many burning
candles together.

Do not move burning candles.  Only relocate
candles when the wax has hardened.

The liquid wax pool should be kept clean, i.e. no
used matches, pieces of burned wick, etc.

Candle residue can either be melted down and
cast into new candles, or made into wax sand
using a kitchen grater.

Never place a candle near a radiator or a
chimney.

Wax residue on the candlestick is easier to
remove after the candle has been placed in the
freezer for about one hour.

Spots of wax can be removed from textiles using
an iron warmed to the temperature appropriate
for the material and
absorbent paper.

Spots of wax on furniture can be effectively
removed by warming
with a hair-drier and soaking up with a paper
towel while liquid.  Clean afterwards with vinegar
diluted with water.

Clean dusty candles with a fuss-free cloth
saturated with spirit.

Candles stored in the freezer for a short time
burn longer.

Enjoy nice hours by romantic candlelight.

Dear Candle Lover,

To ensure that our quality candles bring you
pleasure for a long time, please observe the
following instructions:

If the flame begins to flicker, use a pair of
scissors to shorten the wick in order to avoid
smoke. Ideally, the wick should be between 3/8"
and 5/8" long while it is burning.

Burning candles are a fire hazard that must be
cared for and never left unattended.

Use a special lighter (Spaghetti), if the wick of
the candle cannot be reached with a normal
lighter or match.

Dripping candles should be extinguished and
relit after the wax
hardens.

Always place candles on a non-flammable
surface as uneven or
incomplete burning (dripping) can never be
completely excluded.

Candles never burn straight and quietly in a
draft, even non-drip
candles begin to smoke or to drip.

Never extinguish burning candles with water.

To extinguish the flame, dip it into the burning
candle’s liquid wax and lift it out again.  Then, it
is primed for the next lighting.

If the flame threatens to "die", carefully pour out
a little liquid wax but never do this by making a
hole in the candle.

A burning wick can be carefully bent sideways if
the candle starts to burn on one side. Never
bend or even break a wick that has become rigid.
