Series II Candle Care and Burn Advice-Please Read!
Congratulations! You have purchased a premium candle made with a luxury wax!
The safety label on the bottom of your candle contains important general safety information. Please follow these guidelines to keep you, your family, and your property safe. These Series II candles have been safety tested beyond the suggested limits, up to 7 hours of continuous burn, with your safety in mind. It is NOT suggested that you deviate from the printed guidelines on the candle. These tests were conducted to provide you with a safety margin only, so you can feel comfortable staying in the established limits.
For a proper burn always-BEFORE EVERY BURN-trim the wick to 1/4”. Failure to trim the wick will result in unsightly sooting.
When you light your candle, make sure you can burn it for a minimum of 2 hours. The suggested safety limit is 4 hours, so keep your burn time between 2 and 4 hours, EVERY TIME you light your candle.
Tunneling in a candle is a waste of wonderful wax! When you burn this candle, you will see what appears to be tunneling. Keep following the suggested burning techniques. By the end of your candle’s life, it will have caused the wax to slide down into the melt pool and burn fully. This wax requires a cooler burn. This is the reason the initial stages appear to tunnel. As the candle shortens in its container, it burns hotter and should give you a full, complete burn. This is not how most candles burn, so keep this in mind in the early stages of your candle’s progression.
If anything stresses your candle container, such as an impact from a hard object, etc., consider it damaged beyond safety limits. If the glass has a crack and you don’t see it, it can fail explosively when it gets hot. To date, I have not seen this happen in any testing, but I would never light a glass container candle if the glass suffered an impact.
