Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Yankee Candle lasts its full 29-hour lifespan, proper care is essential:
- First Burn Importance: When you light the candle for the first time, allow it to burn until the wax has melted all the way to the edges of the jar. This prevents 'tunneling,' which can waste wax and limit the scent throw.
- Wick Trimming: Always trim the wick to about 5mm before every lighting. This helps prevent smoke and keeps the flame size manageable.
- Safety Placement: Keep the candle on a level, heat-resistant surface and away from flammable objects. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Extinguishing: Use a candle snuffer if possible to avoid splashing wax or creating excess smoke. Always replace the glass lid once the wax has completely cooled to maintain scent potency.
