Troubleshooting
Candle is smoking excessively
Extinguish the candle and trim the wick to 5mm. Also, ensure the candle is not positioned in a drafty area.
Wax is dripping down the side
Ensure the candle is positioned perfectly level and away from any air currents. If the candle has a 'tunneling' effect, ensure it has been burned long enough to create an even melt pool.
Wick has fallen into the wax
Use a pair of tweezers to carefully retrieve the wick while the wax is still soft, then allow it to cool and re-harden before trimming it to the correct length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your candles, always place them on a flat, heat-resistant surface, such as a metal, glass, or ceramic plate, to protect your furniture from heat damage. Ensure the candles are spaced at least 5cm apart if burning multiple units at once to prevent them from melting each other.
To care for your candles, avoid placing them in drafts, near air conditioning vents, or open windows, as airflow can cause uneven burning and potential dripping. When extinguishing, it is recommended to use a candle snuffer to prevent hot wax splatters and to keep the wick centered for the next use.
