To keep your Candlefire beautiful and functional, please follow these care and maintenance techniques:

• Warning:  Due to the nature of wax and candles in general, candles may crack when exposed to cold temperatures.  We recommend keeping candles sheltered from the cold and not burning them in temperatures under 55 degrees.  

• Use caution when snuffing.  Do not blow on flame.

• Because of the large size of the wick, flame must be extinguished with a snuffer.  If you don't have a custom Candlefire snuffer, a heat resistant glass jar may be used.  

• Important:  Extinguish flame when wax pool has reached within 1 inch of edge of candle.

• Important: Keep wick trimmed to .5 inches.  A garden shears works well for trimming the uniquely sized wick.  Wait until wick and wax are cooled so that you can brush off any wick particles or dust that may fall on the candle from trimming.

• When snuffing, be sure to extinguish completely to insure that the wick does not continue to smolder.

• Keep the candle out of direct sunlight to preserve color, and away from extreme heat to keep the wax from softening.

• May need to rotate candle occasionally, if wind is present while burning.
