To ensure you get the most out of your NAMMAADI candles, we've put together this comprehensive guide on how to care for them properly. 

                SAFETY FIRST: CANDLE BURNING TIPS
Safety is paramount when it comes to enjoying your scented candles. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind:

- Never Leave a Burning Candle Unattended: Always extinguish candles before leaving a room or going to bed.
- Keep Away from Flammable Objects: Ensure your candle is placed away from curtains, paper, or anything that could catch fire.
- Use a Stable Surface: Place your candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface to prevent it from tipping over.
- Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets: Ensure your candles are in a safe spot, away from curious little hands and paws.

                 MASTERING THE BURN CYCLE
To maximize the life and fragrance of your L'Atelier NAMMAADI candles, follow these burn cycle tips:

- First Burn: The Memory Burn, When you light your candle for the first time, let it burn until the melt pool reaches the edge of the jar. This prevents tunneling and helps your candle burn evenly in future uses.
- Optimal Burn Time: Burn your candle for 2-4 hours at a time. This ensures the wax melts evenly and the fragrance is distributed throughout your space.
- Avoid Over-burning: Extinguish the candle if the flame becomes too high or flickers excessively. Let it cool, trim the wick, and relight.

                 THE IMPORTANCE OF WICK TRIMMING
Proper wick maintenance is crucial for a clean and safe burn. Here’s how to do it:

- Trim the Wick to 1/4 Inch (5mm): Before each burn, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This prevents soot build-up and ensures a steady flame.
- Use a Wick Trimmer: For the best results, use a specialised wick trimmer to achieve a clean cut and avoid debris falling into the wax. A sharp nail scissors does the trick as well. 

                PERFECT CANDLE POSITIONNING
Where you place your candle matters. Consider the following:

- Avoid Drafts: Keep your candle away from windows, fans, or air vents. Drafts can cause uneven burning and excessive smoking.
- Central Location: Position your candle in the center of the room for an even distribution of fragrance.
- Decorative Placement: Use your candle as a stylish decor item. Place it on coffee tables, mantelpieces, or shelves to enhance the ambiance of your space.
