Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use your Yankee Candle mini votives:
- Preparation: Place the votive candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, flammable materials, and out of reach of children and pets.
- First Burn: For the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface of the candle to prevent tunneling. This typically takes 1-2 hours.
- Trimming the Wick: Before each subsequent burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch (6mm) to ensure a clean and even burn. Use a wick trimmer or scissors.
- Burn Time: Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Ensure the wax pool is clear of debris.
- Extinguishing: Extinguish the flame carefully, preferably with a candle snuffer or by gently blowing it out. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Care: Store unused votives in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their fragrance.
