Candle Burning Safety
Keep wicks trimmed to 1/4" at all times to avoid high flames and soot.
When first lit allow candle to burn until wax is completely melted across the top. This ensures your candle burns to the edges each and every time to prevent any waste and allows you to enjoy all of your candle.
Keep candles away from drafts, Drafts cause candles to burn unevenly and presents a fire hazard as well.
Never burn near flammable objects such as curtains, lampshades or blankets.
Burn only on heat resistant surfaces.
Never move yoru candle once it is burning as it will be HOT. Burn candles for no more than 4 hours at a time as the glass can become too hot. Never leave a burning candle unattended and keep out of reach of children and pets!
Snuff your candles out rather than blowing them out. Blowing them out may allow little pieces of the wick to land on something that is flammable. And, never extinguish candles by placing the lid on the jar.
Discontinue burning if there is less than 1/2" wax remaining in the bottom.
