Ensuring the safe and proper use of Black Circle candles is of upmost importance,
I recommend burning the candle for a minimum of 2 hours on its first use. This encourages the candle to burn evenly throughout its following uses. Please, please, please keep your wicks trimmed between each and every use (max length 5mm). Lighting a long wick poses a great risk to the glass container, and will cause your candle to burn down quicker than necessary. You can use wick trimmers, scissors, or even your fingers to trim the wick between uses. Always do this when the candle is cold, before each use. The excess wick will come away easily.
To ensure safety and correct use, please adhere to the instructions below.
Never leave a burning candle unattended
Never burn a candle for longer than 4 hours at a time
Burn candle out of reach of children and pets
Always leave at least 10cm between burning candles
Do not burn candles on or near anything that can catch fire
Do not place candles in a draught
Trim the wick to a maximum length of 5mm before lighting. Do this EVERY TIME, before lighting the candle, and BETWEEN USES. Not trimming your wick will make the flame bigger, thus burning hotter than usual & posing a serious risk of cracking/smashing the glass container
Don’t burn a candle all the way down. We recommend leaving 5mm of wax in the container
Always snuff out the candle. Do not blow out
Always place the candle on a level surface
Keep the wax pool clear of matches and other debris in order to avoid flaring, staining, or smoking.
