Candle Care & Safety

How to get the best and safest results from your Hikari Candles

Never leave burning candles unattended
Never place a candle near any combustible material
Container candles may become hot. Always handle with care and wait until they cool before moving
Never place candle directly onto a table or piece of furniture or any other surface that may be subject to damage
Make sure you place your candle on a stable heatproof surface
Always keep candles out of reach of children and pets
Candles burn best in still air so try to avoid draughts
If you cannot avoid draughts turn your candle every now and then to encourage even burning
Always trim and centre the candle wick to 6mm before lighting
Remove any wick debris
Trimming the wick encourages an even burn
The best way to trim the wick is with a wick trimmer
Before extinguishing your candle ensure there is an even melt pool which extends to the edge of the jar. This will help your candle to burn down evenly and will also prevent tunnelling
Burn your container candle for no longer than three to four hours at any one time
Your candle needs time to re-solidify after each burn so wait for it to solidify before trimming the wick
You do not want the candle container getting too hot, so four hours is the maximum burn time recommended, depending on the size of the candle
When the candle has burnt down to approximately 2cm from the bottom of the container, it is time to discard it (the exception being Tea-lights which are designed to burn until they self extinguish)
Store you candles in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight and in an upright position
