CANDLE CARE
& SAFETY

To optimize your Époque candle burning experience, we recommend these guidelines.

Upon first ever use, burn for at least two hours, or until the entire surface has turned to liquid wax. This will help prolong the life of your candle.

Trim wick to 1/8” before each lighting. This will maintain an even and clean burn.
Burn for no more than 3-4 hours at a time.
Always keep candles in sight when in use. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire such as furniture, drapes, books, paper, flammable materials, etc.
Always burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Don’t burn too many candles in a small room or in a “tight” home where air exchange is limited.

Choose an area away from drafts, open air vents or ceiling fans. This will help avoid rapid burning and prevent flare-ups.
Recommend to use a candle snuffer or wick dipper to extinguish a candle. Never use water as it can cause wax to splatter or glass to break.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
Extinguish a candle if it repeatedly smokes, flickers, or the flame becomes too high. The candle isn’t burning properly. Cool, align and trim the wick, then check for drafts before relighting.
Never burn a candle all the way down. Extinguish flame if it comes too close to the container.
Extinguish candle carefully, allow it to cool completely before touching or moving.
Never leave your candle in direct sunlight as the UV rays may affect the appearance of the candle.
