Maintaining your candle
YOUR MAMÈNE SCENTED CANDLE IS A HANDMADE PRODUCT WITH AN EXCEPTIONAL CHARACTER THAT REQUIRES SPECIAL ATTENTION.
IN ORDER TO GUARANTEE SAFETY, QUALITY AND DURABILITY, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO FOLLOW CERTAIN PRECAUTIONS FOR USE.
BEFORE THE BURNING
PLACE YOUR CANDLE UPRIGHT ON A FLAT, HEAT-RESISTANT SURFACE TO AVOID THE RISK OF YOUR CANDLE FALLING AND ALLOW THE WAX TO MELT EVENLY.
- MAKE SURE TO LIGHT YOUR CANDLE IN A VENTILATED SPACE. NEVER PLACE A BURNING CANDLE IN A DRAFT OR IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH A PRECIOUS SURFACE.
- CHECK THE LENGTH OF YOUR WICK BEFORE EACH USE. IDEAL LENGTH BETWEEN 3 AND 5 MM. CUT IT REGULARLY TO ALLOW BURNING WITHOUT SOOT.
DURING THE BURNING
- WHEN USING FOR THE FIRST TIME, LET YOUR CANDLE BURN FOR 2 TO 4 HOURS (DEPENDING ON ITS SIZE) UNTIL ALL OF THE WAX HAS BECOME LIQUID ON THE SURFACE. THIS WILL PREVENT THE WAX FROM SINKING OUT LATER AND FORMING A WELL AROUND THE WICK.
- IT IS RECOMMENDED TO EXTINGUISH YOUR CANDLE ONCE THE WAX FORMS A UNIFORM LIQUID SURFACE AS THE FRAGRANCE IS AT ITS OPTIMUM DIFFUSION. THERE IS NO POINT IN LETTING IT BURN.- DO NOT LET YOUR CANDLE BURN FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS AT A TIME.
- A LIGHT SMOKE MAY APPEAR WHEN LIGHTING AS THE WAX STAINED THE WICK WITH THE HEAT OF THE FLAME.
- TO EXTINGUISH IT, USE A SNUFF TO AVOID SMOKE AND ANY SPLASHING OF LIQUID WAX.
- DO NOT RELIGHT YOUR CANDLE WHEN ONLY 1 CM OF WAX REMAINS OR THE METAL BASE OF THE WICK IS EXPOSED. CLEAN IT AND REFILL IT WITH OUR VEGETABLE WAX REFILLS, OR KEEP IT EMPTY FOR OTHER PURPOSES.
AFTER THE BURNING
- BE SURE TO RE-CENTER THE WICK IN THE WAX AFTER EACH USE FOR EVEN BURNING OF THE WAX. THIS WILL ALSO PREVENT OVERHEATING THE EARTHENWARE CONTAINER. THE WICK AND FLAME MUST NOT TOUCH THE CONTAINER.
- ONCE YOUR CANDLE IS EXTINGUISHED AND COOL, RUN A SOFT CLOTH OVER THE EARTHENWARE TO RESTORE ITS ORIGINAL APPEARANCE.- KEEP YOUR CANDLES AWAY FROM HUMIDITY AND LIGHT, IN A ROOM AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AND AVOID DIRECT EXPOSURE TO THE SUN, CANDLES ARE SENSITIVE TO STRONG TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS.
