Zuri Flame Candle Care...
Because Zuri Flame Candles are unique, it can occasionally display different burning characteristics than other candles. Here are a few simple steps to ensure the best burn every time.
Before Burning
-
Keep the pool of wax free of wick trimmings and any debris at all times.
-
Light the wick all the way across, not just on one end. This helps the candle to burn evenly.
-
Allow the candle to burn until the wax melts out to all the edges of the vessel. This may take 30 to 60 minutes. The flame height may vary at times and occasionally even appear to self-extinguish, but its OK! Even if you are experiencing a "low" flame, it will continue to heat and the flame height will return.
-
Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This will also help prevent possible heat damage to counters and table surfaces, and prevent glass containers from cracking or breaking.
-
Avoid drafts, vents or air currents. This will help prevent rapid or uneven burning, sooting, and excessive dripping.
-
Burn candle for no more than 2-3 hours each time. This will help the candle burn evenly, and remember to trim wicks before each burn.
While Burning
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended or lit while sleeping. If you are going to leave the room or go to bed, be sure to extinguish all candles first.
-
Never touch or move a burning candle. Never move a candle container when the wax is liquified.
-
Don’t burn a candle all the way down. For safety measures, stop burning candle when there is ¼ inch of wax left in the vessel. If rose petal ratio outweighs wax ratio please remove petals or stop burning candle.
-
If burning multiple candles, place each candle at least three inches apart from one another. This is to ensure they don’t melt one another, or create their own drafts.
-
Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers repeatedly. Before re-lighting, let the candle cool, trim the wick, and check for unwanted drafts.
-
Use extra caution when burning candles during a power outage. Battery-powered lights like flashlights are much safer sources of light during a power failure.
-
Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep burning candles away from furniture, drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.
-
Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Do not place lit candles where they can be knocked over by children, pets or anyone else.
