Coconut Candle Instructions for Use
To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, please follow these instructions:
1. First Burn is Key: When you first light your coconut candle, allow it to burn for 2-3 hours, or until the entire surface of the wax has melted to the edges of the container. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even burn for future uses.
2. Trim the Wick: Before each subsequent lighting, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch (5mm). This will help prevent smoking, flickering, and excessive heat.
3. Safe Placement: Place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from flammable materials, drafts, children, and pets.
4. Never Leave Unattended: Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish the candle before leaving the room or going to sleep.
5. Burn Time: Do not burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. This can overheat the container and reduce the candle's lifespan.
6. Extinguishing the Candle: Extinguish the candle by gently blowing it out or using a candle snuffer. Avoid using water, as this can cause the wax to splatter.
7. Reuse the Coconut Shell: Once the candle has burned completely, clean out the remaining wax and repurpose the coconut shell as a decorative container or for storage.
