Troubleshooting
Candle is tunneling (wax melts only in the center)
Ensure the first burn lasts until the wax pool reaches the edges of the container. Trim wicks to 1/4 inch before subsequent burns. Avoid burning in drafty areas.
Excessive soot or black smoke
Trim the wicks to 1/4 inch before each use. Ensure the candle is not placed in a drafty area. Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
Weak fragrance throw
Allow the candle to burn for at least 2-3 hours to establish a full melt pool. Ensure wicks are trimmed and the room is not excessively large or drafty.
Wicks not burning evenly
Trim the wicks to ensure they are of equal length and about 1/4 inch. Ensure the candle is on a level surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Village Candle Medium Tumbler, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Burn: For the first burn, allow the candle to burn long enough for the wax to melt all the way to the edge of the container. This helps prevent tunneling.
- Wick Trimming: Before each use, trim the cotton wicks to approximately 1/4 inch. This promotes a cleaner burn and prevents excessive flame height.
- Burn Time: Avoid burning the candle for more than 4 hours at a time to prevent overheating and ensure optimal fragrance diffusion.
- Placement: Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets.
- Extinguishing: Use a snuffer or carefully blow out the flame. Ensure the wick is centered and the wax has cooled before relighting.
- Storage: Store the candle in a cool, dark place when not in use to preserve its fragrance.
