Troubleshooting
Uneven burning or tunneling
Ensure the first burn allows the wax to melt to the edges. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each subsequent burn. Avoid burning for less than 2 hours at a time.
Weak fragrance throw
Ensure the wick is trimmed properly. Avoid placing the candle in a drafty area, as this can disperse the scent too quickly. Allow the candle to burn long enough for the scent to fill the room.
Soot or black smoke
Trim the wick to 1/4 inch. Ensure the flame is not too high and not flickering excessively. Move the candle away from drafts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

- Trim the cotton wick to approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) before the first use and before each subsequent lighting.
Compatibility:
- This candle is designed for ambient home scenting and is suitable for use in most indoor living spaces.
- Ensure it is kept away from flammable materials, children, and pets.
Care:
- First Burn: Allow the wax to melt evenly across the entire surface (a full melt pool) on the first burn to prevent tunneling. This typically takes 2-3 hours.
- Wick Maintenance: Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before each use to ensure a clean and steady flame and to prevent excessive smoking.
- Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or gently dip the wick into the melted wax pool and straighten to extinguish. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Cleaning the Vessel: Once the candle is finished, the glass vessel can be cleaned and reused for decorative purposes or storage.
