STAY SAFE OVER THE CHRISTMAS. How To Use Homeland Candles: Remove information labels & all packaging material. Always trim wick to below 1cm before lighting candle. Burn candle for approximately 3 hours at a time. Trim wick to below 1cm if candle flame gets too tall (long wick can cause candle to smoke). Never burn candle in a confined container as the heat generated from the flame will cause candle to overheat & burn badly. Never place/use candles near an open fire or heat source as the heat will cause candle to melt. Our hurricane candles are designed for use with 4 hour tea/night lights only. Always read and fully understand safety message on candle label and website before lighting candles. If you need any clarification regarding safety message or the above please contact Homeland Candles.
