Candle Care and Safety

Enjoy your candle carefully. Always follow the warning label supplied with the product. If the label gives stricter instructions than this page, follow the label.

Before lighting

  • Remove all packaging and place the candle upright on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
  • Keep it away from draughts, vibrations, children, pets and anything that can catch fire.
  • Trim the wick to approximately 6 mm before each burn and remove debris from the wax.
  • Check the vessel for cracks, chips or other damage. Do not use a damaged candle.

While burning

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Keep burning candles at least 10 cm apart and away from curtains, paper, shelves and other combustible materials.
  • Do not move or touch the candle while it is burning or the wax is liquid.
  • On the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly toward the vessel’s edge where safe.
  • Do not burn for more than four hours at a time.
  • Extinguish the candle if the flame becomes unusually high, repeatedly flickers, smokes excessively or the vessel appears overheated.

Extinguishing and reuse

  • Use a candle snuffer where possible. Do not use water.
  • Confirm the flame is completely extinguished and the wick is no longer glowing.
  • Allow the wax and vessel to cool fully before handling, trimming or relighting.
  • Stop using the candle when approximately 13 mm of wax remains, or earlier if required by the warning label.

If a safety concern, crack, fault or unusual burning behaviour develops, extinguish the candle, stop using it and contact Hello.tentenco@gmail.com. Keep the candle, vessel, packaging and order information while the matter is assessed.
