Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience and longevity of your Rathbornes 1488 Dublin Candle:
- Preparation: Before lighting, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (6mm). This helps to ensure a clean and even burn.
- First Burn: For the first burn, allow the candle to burn long enough for the melted wax pool to reach the edges of the container. This typically takes 2-3 hours and helps prevent tunneling.
- Safety: Always place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts, flammable materials, children, and pets. Do not attempt to use the candle if the glass container is cracked or damaged.
- Extinguishing: Extinguish the flame by gently blowing it out. Avoid using water.
- Re-lighting: After the candle has cooled, re-trim the wick to 1/4 inch (6mm) before relighting.
- Storage: Store the candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
- Care: Once the candle is finished, the tin can be cleaned and repurposed.
