Instructions: Elume recommend burning jar candles within 12-18 months of purchase. Over time, the composition of the wax and fragrances can change, if you have not burned the candle within a couple of years of purchase, they do not recommend lighting the candle. 

When lighting your jar candle for the first time, allow your candle to burn until the soy wax melts across the entire surface of the jar. Creating this smooth burn will prevent tunnelling and allow your candle to last longer. Burn Boutique Soy Candles for more than an hour and never more than 3 hours. 

If the wick is getting too long and smoking, extinguish, let cool, trim the wick to 6mm and relight.

Avoid blowing your candle out, this can lead to wax splattering and smoke filling the room.  Instead, extinguish with a dipper. Simply dip the wick into the hot wax pool with the end of a dipper, then straighten back up. This is the most efficient way to extinguish a candle. Never extinguish a candle with water. Once cooled, be sure to trim the wick and ensure the wax pool is free of debris before your next lighting. Never move a burning candle, ensure candle has been extinguished and wax is solid and candle cooled before moving. The glass of the jar candles may become hot. Do not handle until cooled. 

Candle Maintenance: 

Trim the wick to 6mm for every burn after the initial lighting. The shorter wick encourages a brighter and stable flame. A longer wick will cause smoking and mushrooming of the wick. To avoid smoking, keep the wax pool free of debris, away from draughts, and keep the wick at 6mm.

Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When the candle only has 1cm left, discontinue use. With jar candles, when not in use, place lid back on jar to avoid dust build up.

After the initial burn, burning your candle for no more than 4 hours at a time will maintain the integrity of the wick coating that is applied to ensure the wicks will stay upright and away from the sides of the candle. If a flame goes too close to the side of the jar, there is a chance the glass will crack from the heat. At elume, they use extra-long, self-extinguishing wick tabs to make sure the candle doesn’t burn too close to the bottom. As one more safety feature, glassware has been thermal shock tested against extreme heat. 

Each candle is different, elume recommend not allowing your candle to burn for more than 4 hours on subsequent burns to the first burn, there are many factors that will greatly reduce this time. Candle placement for example is a huge factor. When a candle is alight, it must be monitored at all times to ensure the candle is burning correctly and safely.
