How to Best Burn a Candle
It is very important to keep the wick at a length of 3-5 mm, even before the first lighting. We recommend the special Yankee Candle wick trimmer. If smoke or a black mushroom appears at the end of the wick, blow out the flame, trim the wick, remove its burnt remnants, and relight the candle. If there is only a 1.5 cm high layer of wax left, it is time to say goodbye to the candle. This will prevent possible damage to the surface under the candle as well as to the glass itself.

You will burn a scented candle most evenly without creating a tunnel by always letting the wax melt all the way to the edge of the glass. This creates a wax pool that releases the Fragrance most intensely. Never burn a candle in a draft or on an uneven surface. For the most even burn, better wax pool, and maximum burn time, you can use the decorative IllumaLid ring or beautiful cylinders that fit the diameter of medium and large Classic candles. If a tunnel has already formed, you can try a purely practical tip from our experienced fans - wrap the entire candle in aluminum foil (including around the sides) and leave only a small space at the top for the flame. The entire candle heats up nicely, and even the solid edges of the wax melt. Once the wax has melted to the edge and the candle has cooled after being blown out, remove the aluminum foil and you will be able to enjoy a beautiful, even pool the next time you light it.

We do not recommend burning the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Ideally, let it cool for 2 hours afterwards. Do not burn candles near flammable objects, on delicate surfaces, and also make sure that children and pets cannot reach them. And of course, never leave a burning candle unattended, always blow it out when you leave.
