What on earth does this mean?

I've got some new fancy candles and want to use them properly but I've read the instructions so many times and I still don't know what it is on about. Can anyone make sense of it?

Light the candle and then blow it out before it does that annoying candle thing where it craters around the wick but the wax is still high and dry around the edges.
So it's saying extinguish the flame before the wax pools deeply in the centre, let it cool that way and apparently this will set the memory of the wax and it won't tunnel when you light it again. I have never heard of this!

Its saying the first time you burn it, you need to burn it long enough that nearly the entire top layer liquifies.

Google prevent candle tunnelling and you will see graphic/video explanations which will demonstrate more clearly but essentially if you only let the candle burn for a short while only a small are around the wick will melt and means each time you burn it that area has a head start so will create a tunnel.

Ah hah thank you both! That makes sense

Never knew this was a thing - what a game changer lol
