Proper Burning Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and efficient candle use.

Always trim wick to 1/4 inch before lighting.
Use long matches or a long-reach lighter to ignite.
Allow candle to burn until wax melts evenly to the edges (prevents tunneling).
Do not burn for more than 4 consecutive hours.
Keep flame away from moving air (fans, open windows).
Monitor flame height; it should be steady and not excessively high.

Tip: The first burn is crucial for an even wax pool and longer candle life.

Placement & Environment

Correct placement ensures safety and optimal performance.

Place on a stable, non-flammable surface (ceramic, metal, glass).
Keep at least 3 inches away from any other objects.
Avoid drafty areas (near vents, doors, windows) to prevent uneven burning.
Do not place in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
Use in well-ventilated rooms but away from strong air currents.

Tip: A candle holder with a lip helps contain any wax drips.

Extinguishing the Candle

Always extinguish properly to ensure safety.

Use a candle snuffer to gently extinguish the flame (prevants wax splatter).
If no snuffer, blow gently across the flame until it goes out.
Never use water to extinguish a candle wax fire.
Ensure the wick is centered and upright after extinguishing.
Do not move the candle until wax has fully solidified (approx. 2 hours).

WARNING! Hot wax can cause burns. Allow candle to cool completely before handling or moving.

Care & Maintenance

Regular care extends candle life and maintains appearance.

Trim wick before each use to 1/4 inch to control flame size and soot.
Remove any debris (wick trimmings, matches) from the wax pool before lighting.
If candle develops a tunnel, wrap aluminum foil around top edges during burn to melt excess wax.
Store unused candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Clean holder regularly to remove wax buildup.

CAUTION! Never trim wick while candle is lit or wax is hot.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Candle tunneling (wax doesn't melt to edges)	First burn too short; drafty location	Allow longer burns; move away from drafts; use foil method to remelt edges.
Excessive smoke/soot	Wick too long; draft	Trim wick to 1/4 inch; place in draft-free area.
Uneven burning	Draft; uneven surface	Relocate candle; ensure surface is level.
Flame too high/flickering	Wick too long; draft	Extinguish, trim wick, relight; move away from air currents.
Wax dripping excessively	Draft; burning too long	Move to still location; limit burn time to 4 hours.

Note: If problem persists, discontinue use and contact IKEA customer service.

Disposal & Recycling

Dispose of candle and packaging responsibly.

Allow candle to burn completely or until 1/2 inch of wax remains at bottom.
Extinguish and let wax cool completely.
Remove any remaining wax from holder; wax can be disposed of in household trash.
