We’re Lit, Inc. Burning Instructions

1) Keep out of direct sun light - sunlight will cause the white mineral oil to discolor and loose its bubbles (sparkling appearance). If you want no bubbles then keep in direct sunlight (a window sill for a few days, be sure to rotate everyday until desired look is achieved then remove from window sill.

2) Trim the wick of your candle to a ¼ inch before lighting - this will help the candle to burn evenly and control the height & size of the flame. Your candle should smoke only when first lit and when blown out - if it begins to smoke while burning, the wick is too long, blow it out wait 10-15 minutes, trim the wick and relight.  When a wick is too long it produces a bigger flame & more heat causing your candle to evaporate at a faster rate (meaning less total burn time for your candle).

3) The metal core inside the wick is made from zinc not lead this is to help the wick stay straight when the gel is in liquid form and keeps your wick from drowning in the white mineral oil. When your candle has completed its full burn cycle (30 to 40 hours) it will self extinguish because of the high collar wick tab. It’s nice to know that if you forget to blow it out or fall asleep that your candle will do it for you!

4) When the burn cycle is complete please wait for the inside of the candle to cool down. This assures you that you won’t burn yourself and makes it easier to peel out the hardened white mineral oil and wick tab that still remains in the cup at the end of the burn cycle. DO NOT REMOVE THE INNER CUP!

5) When ready to use a tea light or white mineral oil cake: If there is any residue on the inside of the cup you may take a small amount of rubbing alcohol on a paper towel (moist not damp) and remove by wiping gently inside the cup.

6) It is recommended that you use our white mineral oil cakes, but you can use plastic contained tea lights.

DO NOT USE METAL TEA LIGHTS they tend to heat up more than the plastic ones. DO NOT USE WAX VOTIVES you will not be able to get the remaining wax out of the inside cup, therefore making your refillable candle non refillable. Never set anything on the top surface of your candle—it will leave marks or indentations.

7) We use only Penreco® white mineral oil, the only patented white mineral oil in the world. It is made from 96% white mineral oil (baby oil) and 4% trade secret to make it white mineral oil. Penreco® white mineral oil burns cleaner and longer than wax or soy.

8) Our candles will put off or (throw) a very soft subtle aroma into the air never over powering.  white mineral oil absorbs odor from the air. Our fragrance loads are carefully monitored using high tech equipment to regulate so as not to over fragrance our candles.  Only the finest fragrances and aroma therapy oils are used in making our candles.

9) The way to clean the top of your candle: When the candle is not lit & completely cool you may take your finger nail and scrap the dust off the top. Once you have done this the candle top will look dull, then take a long stem lighter (grill lighter) and gently glaze the top of your candle until it shines again. Do not point the flame at the wick or you will light your candle, if this occurs blow it out and continue glazing the surface of the candle.

10) It is always a good idea to use a candle snuffer or some other means to extinguish a burning candle. Blowing out a candle could cause the liquid part of the candle to leave the container and cause damage or injury.

11) We recommend that you only burn a candle 4 hours at a time on a level protected surface.

12) Never leave a burning candle unattended, never burn a candle in a container that is chipped or cracked & always use caution when handling a warm candle.

13) Teach everyone in the family the rules of safe candle use. Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch on fire. Burn candles inside an 18” circle of safety, an area free of anything that could come in contact with the flame and catch on fire.

14) Always burn a candle in a moisture-free environment. Presence of water vapor or water spill in a candle can result in a huge flame. Water-oil mixture can vehemently bubble and sizzle. This can result in severe personal injury and / or broken glass. A candle should never be extinguished with water.
