For best experience keep candle wick trimmed to approximately 5 mm before each use to avoid soot. Let candle burn until wax has melted to the edge for the first time and follow with maximum 4 hours burn each time for an even result. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep out of reach of children and pets. Place candle away from draughts and flammable materials and place it on a heat resistant surface or on the lid. Before moving the candle allow it to cool and solidify after each burn.
