1. Trim the Wick: Before each use, trim the candle wick to about 1/4 inch to prevent excessive smoking and ensure a clean burn.
2. Initial Burn: Allow the candle to burn for at least 2-3 hours during the initial use to create an even wax pool across the surface of the candle. This helps prevent tunneling and extends the life of your candle.
3. Safety First: Always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface and away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
4. Avoid Tunneling: To prevent tunneling, ensure the candle burns long enough each time to melt the wax evenly to the edge of the container.
5. Extinguish Safely: Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish the candle. Avoid dipping the wick into the melted wax.
6. Wait Before Relighting: Allow the candle to cool and the wax to solidify before relighting. This helps maintain the quality of the wax and prevents excessive smoking.
