Coconut Candle Safety & Burning Instructions

FAQ: How do you avoid your Coconut Bowls being a safety hazard?

As coconut shells are not naturally fire-proof, here at Melt Your Heart we’ve taken some extra steps to ensure your safety.

  1. The insides of the coconut shells are treated with a CSIRO tested fire retardant.

  2. A metal stopper, that secures the wick, has been placed on the base of our Coconut Bowls to ensure the user knows when to discontinue use of candle to avoid dangerous use. In result a mandatory and safe amount of wax will be left over at the bottom of the shell.

Safety Precautions

To ensure your safety while using your coconut shell candle, we have implemented additional guidelines for you to follow while burning one of our Coconut Bowl Candles. Please follow carefully.

  1. Place your candle on a non flammable plate, such as a slate coaster or ceramic saucer, before lighting it. Avoid placing candle near flammable or heat sensitive surfaces like glass or wooden furniture, as the coconut shells can become hot and cause damage.

  2. Please ensure you remove all decor in the top of your crystals. eg. crystals, crystal chips ect. to ensure complete candle safety.

  3. Always keep your candle in sight while burning it and never leave it unattended to prevent fire, serious injury, or accidents.

  4. When the metal stopper (that holds your wick in place) becomes visible through the wax when candle is burning, it indicates that your candle has reached its safe end. DO NOT attempt to burn the wick beyond this point. Please note; In result a mandatory and safe amount of wax will be left over at the bottom of the shell.

Important Tips

  • Keep your candle out of reach of children and pets. use caution around certain adults as well.

  • Please ensure to remove all decor from the top of your candle. Eg. Crystals, crystal chips ect. To ensure complete candle safety.

  • Only light your candle in well ventilated areas with no drafts. Drafts can cause the flame to burn unevenly, potentially leading to the shell catching fire.

  • Before lighting, trim the wick and ensure the candle is free from debris and foreign objects.

  • Do not move the candle while its burning.

  • Use the candle for a MAXIMUM of 3 hours at a time.

  • Fully extinguish the flame before leaving the room. Wait until any smoke dissipates and double check to ensure that the candle is fully out.

  • Use common sense when handling the candle, similar to how you would handle other potentially dangerous items like gas bottles or lighters.

Enjoy your candle and stay safe!

Reed Diffuser Safety Instructions

How to use

  1. Twist off metal topper and remove stopper.

  2. Place metal topper back on glass bottle.

  3. Place your reeds into your bottle.

Please note:

  • If your reed diffuser fragrance is too strong, remove a few reeds out of the diffuser bottle. The fewer reeds the milder the scent.

  • If your reed diffuser is lacking in fragrance, the reeds can be flipped from time to time in the bottle to give the diffusion process a little boost. You could also try giving your bottle a little swirl to ensure the solution is uniform throughout.

Safety & Important Tips

  • Keep the diffuser out of reach of children and pets.

  • If the diffuser contents are spilled, clean immediately as the solution may stain some wood surfaces.

  • Don’t place the diffuser in an area prone to dust. Reeds can get clogged with dust and inhibit the release of fragrance.

  • DO NOT ingest liquid.

  • Avoid contact with eyes.

  • Don’t spill your oil! The diffuser oil will stain fabric, leather and some bench tops.

  • DO NOT light your reeds.

Enjoy your diffuser and stay safe!
