Each Cairn Candle is carefully crafted to give you the best possible burn and fragrance experience. Following the guidance below will help you enjoy your candle safely and ensure you get the absolute most from it.

Please read this information carefully before lighting your candle.

First Burn

When lighting your candle for the first time, allow it to burn for 2–3 hours, or until the melted wax pool reaches the edge of the container (glass or tin).

This helps to:

• Prevent tunnelling
• Ensure an even burn
• Maximise the life of your candle

Wick Care

Always trim the wick to approximately 5mm before each burn

A trimmed wick helps maintain a steady flame and reduces smoking

Burn Time

Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time

Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting

Candle Safety Information

For your safety and the safety of others, please follow these important guidelines:

Never leave a burning candle unattended

Keep candles out of reach of children and pets

Always leave at least 10cm between burning candles

Do not burn candles on or near anything that could catch fire

Only burn candles on a level, stable, and heat-resistant surface

The container (glass or tin) may become hot during use – handle with care

After burning, allow the candle to cool fully before moving it or replacing the lid

When to Stop Burning

Extinguish the candle when approximately 5mm of wax remains

Do not relight the candle once it has reached this point

This helps prevent overheating of the container and reduces the risk of damage or injury.

Important Notes

Never move a candle while it is lit or while the wax is liquid

Do not extinguish candles with water

Always use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame

By following this care and safety advice, you can enjoy your Cairn products responsibly and safely.
