Candle & wax-melt care

While a candle is burning

• Keep a lit candle in sight. Put it out before leaving the room or going to sleep.
• Use a suitable holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface, well clear of curtains, bedding and other items that can catch fire.
• Keep candles and hot wax beyond the reach of children and pets.
• Do not move a burning candle. Let the wax and container cool before handling.
• Follow the product’s instructions for wick care, burn duration and when to stop using it.

Using wax melts

• Use a burner or warmer designed for wax melts and follow its manufacturer’s instructions.
• Keep it on a stable, heat-resistant surface, clear of combustible materials and out of reach of children and pets.
• Do not leave a wax warmer unattended. Extinguish the flame or switch off the electric warmer before leaving or sleeping.
• Allow the wax and warmer to cool completely before touching or moving them. Never add water to hot wax.
