Candle Safety

  • Before Using

    • Always make sure before lighting your candle that you will not be leaving the premises!
    • Before burning, ensure the wick on your Adagio candle is trimmed to 1/4” by using a wick trimmer or scissors.
    • Ensure that there is no debris (wick trimmings, etc. on the top of the wax before lighting as they can be a fire hazard and affect the aroma of your candle.
    • Keeping the wick trimmed will reduce the likelihood of “tunneling”, or a hole burned down the center of the wax of a candle.
    • Always burn your Adagio candles on a fire-resistant and heat-resistant surface in the event any debris ends up outside of the candle.

  • When Burning

    • Make sure you are burning your Adagio candle in a well-ventilated room that does not have a consistent draft, so your candle will burn evenly.
    • Try to burn your candles at minimum for 1 hour, and ideally between 3-4 hours.
    • Use a longer lighter or long matches to light your candle.
    • Never leave a lit candle unattended!
    • Never leave a burning candle near fire/heat-prone items!
    • Keep candles out of reach from children and pets - we don’t want any burns on those little feet and paws!
    • Extinguish a candle that has a flame that is over 1” tall, or seems to be too tall for the candle.

  • At The End

    • Be careful when putting out your candle! Use a snuffer if available. - DO NOT USE WATER! It could break the glass or splatter the wax.
    • Do not move a candle until it has cooled completely.
    • Ideal storing conditions for your Adagio candles are between 68-82 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • Make sure your lid is securely fitted to the top of your candle when it’s stored!
