Candle Care and Safety

Directions:

Trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting.

The first time you light your candle, let it burn long enough to develop a full melt pool to the edge of the candle vessel. This "memory burn" will help keep your candle from tunneling when you burn it the next time. 

Candle Safety:

Trim candlewicks to 1/4 inch before each use.

Keep burning candles out of the reach of children and pets.

Do not place a burning candle near flammable objects like curtains, paper, furniture, and books.

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish your candles when you leave the room and before going to sleep.

Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

Burn candles in a well-ventilated room.

Keep lit candles away from drafts and ceiling fans and air currents.

A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time.

Discontinue burning when at least 1/4 inch of wax remains in the container.

Extinguish candles with a snuffer; never with water.

Keep debris out of the wax pool.

Extinguish a candle if the flame becomes too big, smoky, or if it flickers continuously.
