Lighting a Yankee Candle is a quick and simple process. Gently strike a match or use a lighter to ignite the wick at the center of the candle. The wick should catch fire within a few seconds. Once the wick is lit, allow the candle's wax to melt and create a pool of melted wax across the surface. This not only ensures an even burn but also helps release the fragrance effectively. The time it takes to light a Yankee Candle is just a matter of seconds, but the enjoyment of its fragrance can last for hours.
