First Burn
A Candle's first burn creates a "memory" that influences how it burns in the future. It is recommended, when using your candle for the first time, that you burn it for four (4) hours, so that the wax almost reaches the edge of the jar. This prevents tunnelling and makes the candle last longer and creates . Never burn for two (2) hours or less as this can cause tunnelling, as there is not enough time for the wax pool to melt to the edge of the container. Always trim the wick to 1.2cm before lighting the candle. This removes the carbon from the end of the wick.

Burning Instructions
Trim wick to 1.2cms before lighting. Keep the candle free from foreign materials including matches and wick trimmings. Only burn the candle on a level, fire resistant surface. Do not burn the candle for more than four (4) hours at a time. Failure to follow instructions could result in a fire hazard or serious injury.
DURING END OF FIRST BURN
If you do not have a 1 cm wick above the melt pool, due to wick breaking a little, extinguish flame, and whilst wax is still at melted point, take a teaspoon and remove a teaspoon of wax, by sweeping in a circle near edge of vessel, and centre wick with the spoon, to ensure 1cm wick length is ready to light for your next burn.
EXTINGUISHING YOUR CANDLE
We recommend extinguishing the candle by dipping the flame in the melt pool. To do this, simply use the end of a teaspoon or end of a match and push the wick into the pool of wax and then straighten the wick with the same tool, so it is central for when you next light your candle. This extinguishes the flame without causing any smoke and it also coats the wick in melted wax, which helps secure a powerful flame next time you light the candle. You can use the end of a match to delicately pick out any broken parts of the wick once the flame is extinguished, so it is clean for your next use.
Always ensure the wick is upright once extinguished. If the wick leans to one side, the melt pool will become uneven.
