Troubleshooting
Glass looks cloudy or has smudges
Clean the glass with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of non-abrasive glass cleaner to restore clarity.
Wax residue at the bottom of the hurricane
Place the hurricane in the freezer for 30 minutes to harden the wax, then gently pop it out with a plastic scraper.
Candle flame is flickering too much
Ensure the hurricane is placed on a completely level surface and check that the candle wick is trimmed to 6mm.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the hurricane is simple: place it on a flat, stable surface away from the edge of furniture to avoid accidental drops. It is compatible with standard pillar candles up to the width of the inner cylinder.
To maintain the glass, use a soft, lint-free cloth and glass cleaner to remove fingerprints and dust. If you use wax candles, wait for the wax to harden completely before attempting to remove any residue from the base. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, which can scratch the glass surface and reduce its clarity over time. Always ensure the hurricane is placed on a heat-resistant surface if the candle is left burning for extended periods.
