Candle Safety
Always read and follow the Safety Label on the base of your Kaihere Ridge candle before lighting.
Candles contain an open flame and should always be burned with care.
Safe Burning
- Never leave a burning candle unattended.
- Keep candles away from children and pets.
- Keep away from curtains, bedding, paper and other flammable materials.
- Always burn your candle on a stable, flat and heat resistant surface.
- Avoid draughty areas, open windows, fans and doorways. Sudden changes in airflow or temperature can cause an uneven burn and place additional stress on the glass.
- Burn your candle for no longer than three hours at a time.
- Allow the wax to cool and fully solidify before relighting.
- Trim the wick before each burn, following the instructions on the candle safety label.
- Stop using your candle when approximately 1 cm of wax remains at the bottom of the jar.
- Never move a candle while it is burning or while the wax is still hot.
Wick Care
Keeping your wick properly trimmed is one of the easiest ways to help your candle burn cleanly and evenly.
Before each burn, check the wick and remove any loose carbon buildup or debris.
An overly long wick can produce a larger flame, excess soot or carbon buildup.
We recommend trimming your wick before each burn and removing any loose wick debris from the wax before relighting.
What if my wick sparks?
Occasionally, a wick may give off a small spark. This can happen when carbon has built up on the wick or when loose debris is present.
If this happens:
- Extinguish the candle safely.
- Allow it to cool.
- Trim the wick.
- Remove any loose debris from the wax.
- Relight only once the candle is cool and the wick has been checked.
If the candle continues to spark, smoke excessively, or the flame becomes unusually large, extinguish it and discontinue use.
A little care goes a long way
Following the candle safety instructions helps you get the best possible burn from your Kaihere Ridge candle while keeping your home safe.
