1. Trim the wicks regularly. They can not exceed 1 cm, 1/3 inch.

2. Always burn the candle until the whole surface becomes liquid. This will avoid the candle to hollow and preserve its exceptional quality. (It can take a long time at first burning when the wax is hard)

3. Dark smoke after some hours burning means the wicks are too long. It is time to put out the candle.

4. Five minutes after putting out the candle and before the wax is totally solid, reposition the wicks vertically to their initial place.

5. Regularly clean the inside of the candle to avoid the appearance of soot.

6. Never burn the last centimeter, 1/2 inch of wax to avoid wicks burning against the glass/metal.
