CANDLE CARE – SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

  • The making of candles is an art as well as a science. A precise integration of the parts that add up to the sum of a luminous beauty.
  • Maroma’s candles are 100% hand crafted. People, not machines, make Maroma’s candles special.
  • Like people, candles also respond well to attention. Always keep a pillar candle of any size or diameter burning for a longer time when first burning it, to ensure good, even burning thereafter. Check the wick and help it to remain straight and centred by using a knife to gently coax it to the centre.
  • Container candles take much less time for the top part of the wax to melt. Our container candles are all made of vegetal wax which is softer than paraffin wax, have a lovely smoke free burning and the wicks are self trimming. As the top wax melts quickly, help the wick to remain centred in the same way as for pillar candles.
  • Below you will find specific candle care instructions. Follow them and you will enjoy your candles in the way they should be enjoyed.

WARNING

  • Always leave at least 10cm between burning candles.
  • Burn candle out of reach of children and pets.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.
  • Do not burn candles near anything that can catch fire.
  • Place on suitable holder to contain wax spills and only place on heat resistant surfaces. Keep free from secondary wicks
  • (eg. matches and other debris) and away from other heat sources and out of draughts, to avoid flaring. Other heat sources.
  • (e.g. fireplace or heater) can also cause candle to topple. Draughts can also blow flammable items onto candle. Trim wick to 10mm before use.
  • Remove all packaging and labels before use.
  • Burn in vertical position.
  • Never place on top of TV’s or stereos.
  • Do not move while alight. Allow cooling time before moving.
  • Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
  • Extinguish candle immediately if it smokes, flickers repeatedly, or the flame becomes too high.
  • Extinguish using a snuffer or the back of a metal spoon, taking care not to damage the wick. Never use liquid to extinguish.
  • Never allow candle to burn down to the base. Leave 20mm of wax remaining.
