Beanpod Candle Care Instructions

Jar Candles

• To maximize burn time and to minimize wax left on the sides of the jar, burn 3 hours at a time.

• When lighting a jar candle for the first time, be sure to burn long enough (approximately 3-4 hours) for the wax to completely pool or liquefy to the outer edge of the jar.

• Keep wick trimmed to 1/4" and centered: reposition as needed by quickly moving wick back to center with a metal spoon handle. Avoid drafts or excessive vibrations. Caution: Extinguish the flame before trimming the wick.

• Handle with care, as container may become hot.

• Avoid glass-to-glass contact when removing or replacing lid. Do not use if cracked, chipped, or scratched and do not refill with wax.

• Specific usage conditions, fragrance & color may affect burn performance.

• Never allow the flame to come in direct contact with the side of the container.

• Discontinue use when 1/2" of wax remains. This will prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface or container itself.

• If a candle is exposed to moisture, it may not re-light. Water that becomes overheated and trapped by wax can cause an explosive splattering of hot wax. Don't leave uncovered candles outdoors overnight.

• Extinguish candle before replacing the lid.

• Do not eat! 100% stabilized soy wax and Soy Beads are not edible.

• Electric candle warmers are not recommended for Beanpod candles.
