Candle Safety Information
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended
Always put out candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. You should also put out a candle if the candle smokes, repeatedly flickers or the flame isn’t controlled.
-
Burn candles out of the reach of children and pets
Never place lit candles where they can be easily knocked over by anyone, especially children and pets.
-
Don't burn candles on or nead anything flammable
Place candles on a heat resistant and non-flammable surface, at least 1 foot away from anything that can catch fire, including but not limited to curtains, decorations etc.
-
Leave at least 5 inches between burning candles
Follow recommended minimum distance stated on the package, or if not available, leave at least 5in to be on safe. Candles placed too close together can drip or soot, and tealights can flare up.
- Do not place candles in a draught
Keep candles out of draughts to prevent rapid, uneven burning, sooting and excessive dripping. Also, lightweight curtains can waft into the flame if in a draught.- Don’t place candles near a source of heat
The higher the temperature around a candle, the greater the risks. For example, tealights on a TV can flare up and melt through the plastic, and other types of candles might drip wax.- Always use a candleholder
Candle holders should be heat resistant and non-flammable. They should also be stable and big enough to collect dripping wax.- Place candles in an upright position
Stand candles straight to avoid dripping and minimize the risk of flaring. Glass cups can crack if the flame touches the side.- Trim wick about .5 in before lighting
Trim the wick with scissors or a wick trimmer before lighting the candle. If the wick is too long, a lump of carbon might form on it as it burns (known as clubbing) or the flame might become too high and start to soot.- Only use tealights in holders, oil burners & warming stoves with sufficient ventilation
Insufficient ventilation can cause the tealight to flare up.- Keep the wax pool clear of matches and other debris to avoid flaring
Flammable objects in the wax pool, such as matches, insects, flammable decorations or lumps from the wick, can ignite and cause the candle to overheat and flare up.- Do not move a burning candle
Moving a candle can have the same effect as placing it in a draught (i.e. sooting and dripping). If a tealight is moving when all the wax is molten, the wick might change position and cause the candle to flare up.- Always snuff out the flame. Do not blow it out
For safety’s sake, use a candle snuffer when putting out a candle. It’s especially important not to blow down at a candle in a container, such as a tealight, as this increases the risk of flaring and hot wax could spatter up in your face.- Never use liquid to extinguish a flame
If the candle can’t be extinguished easily, cover it with a damp cloth. Never use water to extinguish candles. The water can cause the hot wax to spatter and the candle container to break.- Never leave a burning candle unattended
Always put out candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep. You should also put out a candle if the candle smokes, repeatedly flickers or the flame isn’t controlled.Oil Diffusers
- Oil Diffuser Use and Care
- You can control the scent level to suit your preference. You may use more reeds for a stronger scent. Four to five reeds work well for small rooms, or to create a more subtle scent.
- To get the most out of the reeds, we recommend flipping them every two weeks. This speeds up the saturation rate and enhances the scent diffusion.
- Due to the nature of the reeds and how they become saturated with liquid, it is best to always place your diffuser on a protective plate to ensure no liquid damages surfaces. Reeds may stain painted surfaces or other materials such as wallpaper, curtains, polished or synthetic surfaces or fabrics. Always take care to avoid contact with such surfaces and material.
- For a subtle scent or smaller rooms may not need as many reeds in one vessel. Add a few to test, then increase the number of reeds as necessary, until the desired scent level is reached.
- Larger rooms may require all or most of the reeds to be used, or more than one diffuser depending on preferred strength of the scent.
- Avoid placing diffusers next to any source of heat such as radiators to prolong scent release. Higher temperatures speed up diffusion and while the strength of the scent will increase, the life of the diffuser will be shortened.
Prop 65 Warning

Proposition 65 Warning For California Residents
It is Portmeirion Group's policy to not intentionally add harmful elements within the production of ceramic homeware irrespective of the place of manufacture and to use unleaded materials. To facilitate this we have full visibility of the materials used in our supply chains and a stringent test program in place to ensure all new product launches and existing lines are routinely tested by independent, accredited test houses to ensure any potential risk to our customers is kept as minimal as possible. There have been instances of lead poisoning from ceramic food contact articles for as long as records have been kept. The significance of leaded ceramic glazes was identified over 300 years ago in the late 18th Century through the separate works of H Ebell and W A Lampadius. These works identified that when lead glazes are fired correctly then no lead would leach from the material in the presence of a strong acid (acting as a food substitute) and that in addition, poorly fired glazes would leach lead as a result. These works identified that the most likely cause for lead poisoning was a result of ingesting food and drink that had been contact with a poorly constructed leaded ceramic article. Over time, advances in technology have proven that during the firing process, any lead present within the glaze would become chemically bound and form part of the glass-like structure. If a glaze was not sufficiently fired then these chemical bonds would not be as strong which would then be the source of any detected lead (if present). It is feasible that there may be slightly weaker lead ions on the surface of a glaze which would have the potential to leach into food or drink substrates but these would be detected in a test method based on metal release such as ASTM C927 or AOAC 18th Ed. (2005) Section 973.32. This is one of the main reasons that leachable lead is the globally recognised method of analysis. There are many other methods of analysis that will claim to measure lead. However, the metal release lead test methods recognised by the United States Food and Drug Administration and taken into law in Acts such as California Proposition 65 are considered to be the most representative for measuring the risk of exposure to the general public. Portmeirion Group has always stood behind the quality and safety of our products. In addition to the comprehensive testing schedule in place, we routinely review metal release acceptance limits on the global market and adopt the most stringent limits to help reduce any risk of metal release to the absolute minimum. For example, 50 years ago Portmeirion worked to a release limit of 2pppm (Parts Per Million) based on European regulations whilst the US limit at the time was 7ppm. Since 1991, the limits set out in California Proposition 65 have been the most stringent and we have adhered to a limit of 0.1ppm. This limit is always under review and Portmeirion Group is actively maintaining the lowest possible release limit. Use of select AromaWorks product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer. You may also obtain a list of each product sold by this company for which the same warning is given.
