STEP 1 - POUR

Pour Instant Candle into the container.

Choose a clean, dry, stable, open, heat-resistant and non-combustible container at least 10 cm wide internally at its narrowest point. This width helps keep the melt pool away from the sides.

Do not use plastic, wood, paper, cardboard, thin or damaged glass, cracked containers, or anything that could melt, burn, leak, tip or become unstable.

STEP 2 - INSERT THE WICK

Use only HOM33 wicks. Insert one wick upright, leaving approximately 1 cm showing.

Position each wick at least 5 cm from the container edges and anything decorative. Keep at least 3 cm of Instant Candle beneath the wick. The wick and melt pool must not touch the sides or base.

Use one wick in a 10 cm container. In larger containers, position the wicks evenly and keep lit wicks at least 10 cm apart.

Trim the wick if it touches the base.

If the container is not deep or wide enough to maintain the required clearance, choose a different container.

STEP 3 - LIGHT YOUR INSTANT CANDLE

Place the container on a level, stable and heat-resistant surface, away from draughts, heat sources and anything that could catch fire.

Light the wick and keep the candle within sight.

Extinguish immediately if the container becomes excessively hot, cracks, scorches, deforms or becomes unstable, or if the flame becomes unusually large, unstable or smoky.

STEP 4 - EXTINGUISH AND REFRESH

Extinguish the flame using a candle snuffer, wick dipper or by gently blowing it out. Never use water or any liquid.

Allow the wax and container to cool completely before touching, moving or refreshing. Once cool, remove the hardened
melt pool, then reuse or replace the wick.

Extinguish immediately if the container becomes excessively hot, cracks, scorches, deforms or becomes unstable, or if the flame becomes unusually large, unstable or smoky.

ADDING FRAGRANCE

Instant Candle can be used unscented, or scented with a fragrance oil that its manufacturer states is suitable for candles.

Add no more than 5 drops around the wick while the pearls are completely cool and the candle is unlit. Follow the oil manufacturer's own usage and safety instructions — oils vary in how they behave when heated.

Never add fragrance oil, essential oil or any other liquid while the candle is burning, hot or smouldering. Oils are flammable. Using more than the stated amount may affect how your candle burns. Stop use if the flame becomes unusually large, unstable or smoky.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Instant Candle is made from highly refined, plant-based wax and contains no animal-derived ingredients.

When used as directed, it typically produces very little visible smoke or soot. As with any candle, wick position, exposed wick length and draughts can affect how it burns.

One wick lasts approximately 10-12 hours when used correctly and may be relit for as long as it remains usable. Total burn time will vary depending on the container, the number of wicks used and how often the candle is refreshed.

Under normal conditions and when set up as directed, Instant Candle will typically self-extinguish when the flame reaches the end of the wick or if loose pearls cover the flame when the container is accidentally knocked over.

This is an additional safety feature only. Never rely on the candle to extinguish itself and never leave it burning unattended. If the container is knocked over and any flame remains, extinguish it immediately if it is safe to do so. Do not touch the container or wax until everything has cooled completely.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Remove all packaging before use.
Always use a stable, heat-safe and non-flammable container.
Place the candle on a level, heat-resistant surface.
Keep each wick at least 5 cm from the container edges and anything decorative. Keep at least 3 cm of Instant Candle beneath the wick.
Never leave a burning candle unattended.
Extinguish the candle before leaving the room or going to sleep.
Keep away from draughts, curtains, furniture and anything that could catch fire.
Keep the melt pool free from wick trimmings, matches and other debris.
Never move or handle the container while the candle is burning or hot.
Never add fragrance oils, essential oils or other liquids to a burning, hot or smouldering candle.
Never use water to extinguish the flame.
Do not ingest the wax or fragrance oils, and avoid contact with the eyes.
Keep out of reach of children and pets.
For households with pets, place candles on stable, elevated surfaces out of reach of curious paws, whiskers or wagging tails.
Do not allow animals or children to ingest the wax or fragrance oils.
We recommend not burning candles in the same room as birds because of their particularly sensitive respiratory systems.
Extinguish immediately if the container becomes excessively hot, cracks, scorches, deforms or becomes unstable.

Use the product safely and responsibly. Before using it, please review all of the safety instructions carefully.
