Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Place the votive candle in a heat-resistant holder. Ensure the holder is stable and wide enough to catch any melting wax. It is recommended to use a votive candle holder specifically designed for this size of candle.
Compatibility: This product is a candle designed for aromatic purposes and home decor. It is compatible with standard votive candle holders. Keep away from flammable materials.
Care:
- First Burn: Always allow the candle to burn until the surface of the wax has completely melted to the edges of the container. This prevents the formation of a "memory ring" or "tunneling," where wax solidifies in a ring around the wick.
- Wick Maintenance: Before each use, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (6mm). This helps ensure a steady flame and prevents excessive smoking or mushrooming.
- Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool with a tool and straighten it. Never use water to extinguish a candle.
- Storage: Store the candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its fragrance and color.
- Container Reuse: Once the candle has burned down, the empty container can be cleaned and repurposed as a small decorative item or for storage.
