Care instructions
- Before burning, always trim the wick to ¼ inch. Keep the wax pool clear. Always use a candle holder, it should be heat resistant, sturdy, and large enough to contain any drips or melted wax. Burn candles in a well-ventilated room. Never burn a candle for longer than three hours, cool for at least two hours before relighting. Never leave a candle unattended, keep it away from anything that can catch fire. Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Don't burn a candle all the way down. Use a candle snuffer to extinguish a candle, it's the safest way to prevent wax from splattering

Questions, answered.
What does ALEC do?
ALEC is a glass candle holder with a built-in timer and a lid. Place a jar candle inside, light it, and set the timer. When the timer ends, the lid closes over the candle, cutting off air to the flame so it goes out.
Which candles fit?
Small (body 5.28″ wide × 6.25″ tall) holds jar candles up to 5″ wide and 5″ tall. Large (body 5.00″ wide × 7.50″ tall) is made for taller jar candles. It is slightly slimmer than Small, so check your jar's width as well as its height. Measure your jar at its widest point and full height. Not sure? Contact us with your candle's size and we'll help.
How do I set the timer?
Use the controls on the base to choose a burn time, then light your candle. The instructions included with ALEC explain the timer options step by step.
How is ALEC powered?
ALEC is rechargeable. Follow the charging instructions included in the box.
Can I leave a candle burning in ALEC unattended?
No. Treat ALEC like any candle holder: never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it away from anything that can catch fire, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. The timer and lid are a convenience, not a replacement for supervision.
How do I care for ALEC?
Let the holder and candle cool completely before touching, moving, or cleaning. Wipe the glass with a soft, dry cloth.
Is ALEC a good gift?
ALEC arrives in a gift box, so it is ready to give. It suits anyone who already burns jar candles at home.
Can I return ALEC?
