Place candles away from drafts, vents, fans or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, smoking or sooting. Burn on an even, heat resistant surface. Place candles in a well-ventilated room.

For the initial burn, simply allow the wick to burn to the perfect height. Our self-trimming wicks guarantee an even burn each time. No need to trim the wicks, unless it is a personal preference. Let each burn of our 1-wick, 3-wick, and 4-wick sized candles last 3-4 hours at a time. Small votives should only be burned for 1 hour at a time. Be sure melted wax reaches the edge of the glass vessel. Discontinue burning after 4 hours to prevent excessive heat where a wick could sink or detach from the glass or glass could reach an unsafe temperature. Remember burning for shorter periods of time will cause “tunneling” (leaving excessive wax remaining on the container’s sides). Burning for longer than recommended can create soot or cause the glass to become extremely hot or break. If a candle is burning unevenly, first center the wicks to correct the burn performance. If the wicks are centered, the candle is likely in a draft. Rotate the candle 90 degrees periodically to keep it burning uniformly. Relocate candle on next burn. Do not move candle when lit.

Extinguish candle by hovering the glass or metal lid over the vessel and remove once wicks are extinguished. This prevents wicks from shifting and leaves the wax clean & even, ready for the next burn. Center and straighten wicks after extinguishing your candle. A wick that has migrated close to the center will cause an uneven or tunnel burn and a wick that has shifted close to the edge may cause the glass to crack and break. Gently straighten and guide the wick back to the candle’s center while the wax is still melted. Allow your candle to cool completely before relighting or moving (a candle generally takes approximately two hours to cool). This prevents wicks from shifting, sinking into the wax or a wick clip from detaching. Before re-lighting a candle, take a tissue and pinch off the end of the previously burned wick. This will prevent the wicks from popping, keeping the wax clean and debris free. Discontinue burning your candle once 1/2 inch of wax remains.

CANDLE CARE

Wick Trimming

Our candles use self-trimming wicks and should not be trimmed on the initial burn.

Keep wicks centered.

Trim wicks to 1/4 inch before each relighting.

Wax Pool

Burn your candle until a full wax pool is created. (Melted wax reaches all sides of the glass) Creating a full wax pool on each burn is crucial for the best experience. If flame is extinguished before the candle is fully pooled this creates tunneling (drilling straight into the wax, missing out on hours of burn, wax and fragrance).

Safety

Always burn your candle away from things that can catch fire, on an even and heat resistant surface.

Burn out of reach of children and pets.

Vessel will be hot when candle is lit.

When 1/2 inch unmelted wax remains discontinue burning candle.

Candle Burning Instructions

We want you to love burning your Slatkin + Co. candle. To ensure the best fragrance, candle performance and burn experience we have created steps for before, while and after burning your favorite scent.
