Candle Safety

Orchard Harvest richly scented candles can be enjoyed safely but must be used with care. Please teach everyone in your family the rules of safe candle use.

• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Burn only in 3-4 hour increments. Always place candle on a heat resistant surface.
• If smoking occurs, blow candle out, trim wick(s), remove trimmings, and relight.
• In order to keep candles burning and looking great, keep them away from direct sunlight. This will prevent discoloration and disfigurement of your candles.
• Do not burn candles near a draft, such as a fan or vent. (Air currents cause the flame to burn the sides of the candle unevenly.)
• Keep wicks trimmed to 1/4-inch to prevent uneven burning or dripping.
• Remember to burn pillar candles long enough the first time so that the wax melts to the rim. This will ensure even burning every time you light your candle.
• Pillar candles should be burned one hour for every inch of their diameter.
• As a Soy candle burns down, fold the edges inward. With the palm wax candles, crimp or break off the unburned areas to smooth out the top surface of the candle.
• Never burn a candle on or near anything flammable.
• Keep all matches and lighters out of the reach of children.
• Always use a proper candle holder.
