Safety warnings candles

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep candles out of reach of children and pets and always use them in a well-ventilated area. The holder (glass, ceramic or metal) can become hot during use — never touch it with bare hands.

Fragility

• Candles in glass and ceramic holders are fragile — handle with care


• Inspect the holder before each use for cracks or damage — do not use if the holder is damaged


• Do not expose glass or ceramic holders to sudden temperature changes, as this can cause cracking or breaking


• Do not place the candle on a cold surface immediately after use


• Never let the candle burn all the way down — excessive heat can cause the holder to crack or break


• Do not tip over or knock the holder during use


• In case of breakage: do not touch shards with bare hands and dispose of them safely

During use

• Place the candle on a stable, flat and heat-resistant surface


• Keep at least 10 cm distance between multiple burning candles


• Keep the candle away from curtains, paper and other flammable materials


• Do not use the candle in a draught or near open windows


• Trim the wick to a maximum of 5 mm before each use


• Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time


• Stop use if the flame becomes too high or flickers irregularly


• Extinguish the candle when approximately 1–2 cm of wax remains


• Remove packaging, labels and decorations such as dried flowers before use


• Do not allow melted wax to overflow from the holder

Extinguishing and storing

• Extinguish the candle with a wick snuffer or candle cap — do not blow it out


• Never use water to extinguish a candle


• Make sure the flame is completely out before leaving the room


• Always extinguish before going to sleep or leaving the house


• Allow the candle to cool completely before moving or storing it


• Store candles upright, in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources


• Store glass and ceramic holders so they cannot fall or knock against each other
