To get the most from your Skandinavisk candle, we recommend burning it in moderation and always following the instructions on the packaging. For any quality candle, there is some consistent user advice that everyone should know:
• Place the candle on the beechwood lid to protect sensitive surfaces underneath.
• Allow the melt pool to reach the glass edge the first time you light it to avoid tunneling.
• Burn for no more than 3 hours at a time to allow the fragrance to contribute to the room, and to stop the melt pool becoming so deep so that it may cause the wick to drown.
• Place the beechwood lid back on top of the candle to extinguish the flame. This avoids sending wick particles into the molten wax through blowing, and keeps the surface clear of room dust when not being used.
• Allow the wax to cool, and trim the wick to 0,5cm to remove the carbonised black tip before relighting.
• Leave a small amount of solid wax (about 0,5cm) before disposing or, preferably, washing and reusing with tealights or for storage.
