 | When you light the candle for the first time, to ensure optimum burning time, allow the candle to burn 3-4 hours or until the wax has melted all the way across. This will prevent the candle from tunneling down thru the middle. |  |
 | Never leave a burning candle unattended. |
 | Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets. |
 | DO NOT burn near flammable objects such as curtains, lampshades, or blankets. |
 | Burn only on heat resistant surfaces - they can become hot enough to damage furniture. |
 | Do not move a burning candle or place in a draft. |
 | Keep candle free of foreign material - matches, wick clippings, etc. |
 | Keep wick trimmed to 1/4 inch (about the thickness of a pencil) to avoid excessive smoking. |
 | DO NOT burn if container is cracked. |
 | Discontinue burning when less than 1/2 inch of wax remains. |
