Candle Use

Setting Up Your Candle

• Unseal and remove the cork. The cork can be easily removed with a cork screw and any wax seal remaining can be wiped off with a damp soapy cloth.
• Insert the stopper/wick assembly.
• The wick may need to be adjusted to approximately 1/4 inch above the stopper. Flame height should be approximately 1 inch. Too much wick leads to excessive flame height. Upon lighting, allow a couple of minutes for the flame to achieve a consistent height.  If flame is excessive, allow the stopper to cool and adjust wick to no more than 1/4 inch above the stopper.
• Before lighting, allow at least 5 minutes for the wick to absorb the oil.
• If you choose, aromatherapy oils can be added to the depression in the top of the stopper.

About the Wick and Oil

• Used properly, the fiberglass wick should last indefinitely, for it is the oil rather than the wick that burns. The key is to never allow the oil level to drop below the bottom of the wick.
• Your candle is filled with smokeless and odorless Ultra-Pure® Lamp Oil (99% liquid paraffin), refill bottles can be purchased at most variety and craft stores.

Candle Safety

Careful responsible use of your candle can prevent injury and property damage. Please keep in mind the following precautions.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Keep candles away from children & pets.
• Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire.
• Always place candle on a steady surface.
• If the flame is too tall, adjust the wick height to approximately 1/8 inch above the stopper.
• Place your candle in an area that is free from drafts to prevent flickering and smoking.
• Do not touch the top of the candle after it has been burning. The wick assembly gets very hot.
• DANGER: Lamp oil is harmful or fatal if swallowed. Do not induce vomiting if swallowed. Call a physician immediately. Avoid contact with eyes.
• COMBUSTIBLE. Do not store near heat or open flame. Flammable at temperatures higher than 159° F. (70° C.).
