Candle Care
Important candle safety information
*Warning *Fire Hazard
*Follow these guidelines to enjoy your candles safely and make them last longer!
To prevent fire and serious injury:
- ALWAYS trim wick to ¼ inch before lighting. Dispose of wick trimmings and matches to keep debris out of the pool.
- AVOID drafts.
- Set the candle on a heat-resistant surface.
- Burn within sight. Always remain within line of sight of a burning candle. Extinguish candles before leaving the room.
- NEVER burn for longer than 4-hour intervals.
- Keep away from things that catch fire. NEVER burn candles on or near anything that can catch fire.
- Keep away from children and pets. Children and pets could accidentally tip the candle over.
- NEVER use a candle as a night light.
- Extinguish all candles before going to bed.
- DO NOT burn a candle all the way down.
- Extinguish the flame if it gets too close to the container. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when ½ – ¼ inch of wax remains.
- DO NOT extinguish with water.
- ALWAYS allow the wax to harden before relighting, touching, or moving.
*To ensure a good, clean burn with your candles, the inaugural burn is the most important. Avoid extinguishing the candle until the wax pool that forms close to the wick almost reaches the outer edge of the candle. Then, blow it out and let it set.
