Ambiance by Avery is NOT responsible or liable  for any injuries and/or damage caused by irresponsible candle burning. By purchasing our candle(s), you are accepting full responsibility for any injuries or damages occurring due to carelessness and /or inattention and  signify that you have read the Candle Care and Burning instructions provided below.

 

 

Container and Pillar Candle Decorations ~ It's best to remove any bows, ribbons, beads, raffia, or other items that may be used to decorate your container or pillar candle. These items could cause a fire if left on the candle. Always be careful where you burn your candles in your home!

 

Burning Time ~ Never leave a candle burning longer than 3 to 4 hours. After that amount of time you should always extinguish the candle, allow the wax to completely cool, and trim the wick before lighting again. Failure to do so can be dangerous. 

 

NOTE:  Do not use water to extinquish a wax fire.  Smother the fire with a towel or blanket.

 

Container Candles Have Memories ~ The first time you burn your scented jar candle, or other type of container candle, be sure to allow the melt pool to reach the sides of the container. This typically takes an hour for every inch in diameter the candle is. This will help ensure that the jar candle doesn't leave wax along the sides of the container and that it will burn evenly.

 

Rule of thumb for the first burn of your pillar candle -  Burn candle just under an hour per inch in diameter.  For example:  For a 3 inch diameter candle, burn for 2 1/2 hours.  Blow out the candle and curl the edges inward and upward toward the wick (this is known as hugging). This will help build a "well" for your candle and ensure that it burns straight down the wick rather than all over your table.

 

Candles and Drafts ~ Keep the candles in your home away from drafts to prevent uneven burning, which can lead to soot deposits, or messy pillar candle wax drips,  and reduce the overall burn time of the candle.

 

Moving a Container Candle ~ Please use caution when moving a container candle that is hot. It's best to not move them until they've cooled down. Even when using a candle warmer, caution should be used when moving your hot candle containers.

 

Votives ~ Votives can completely liquefy, so be sure to only burn them in tight fitting votive holders.

 

Keep the Candle Melt Pool Clean ~ Be sure to keep the melt pool area clean by never dropping matches there, and by cleaning any debris left from trimming the wick.

 

Time for a New Ambiance by Avery Candle ~ It's time for a new hand poured candle when the wax in your container candle gets down to a 1/2" to a 1/4" of wax. Always leave at least 1/4" of unburned candle at the bottom of the container! This can prevent the jar candle or other type of glass container from cracking and exploding. 

 

Tart Melts/Wax Melts ~ Always melt your tarts in approved low heat tart warmer/melters, or in an approved container on a candle warmer! Never add water to your tarts! Do not heat on a stove or an electric appliance that can exceed temperatures of 190 degrees F.

 

Candle Warmers ~ Candle warmers are a wonderful way to enjoy scented jar candles without a flame. They can also be used for your tarts as long as you use a heat resistant jar, or other type of container. Coffee cups/mugs work great too.
