Candle Care

Place the candle on a flat, fire-resistant surface and never leave the burning candle unattended.
 
Always trim the wick to ¼ inch before each lighting.  This will promote an even burn, steady flame, and minimize soot and mushrooming of the wick.
 
The first time you light your candle, let it burn for 3-to-4 hours to allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the container.  This will prevent tunneling and create an even burn.
 
Do not burn the candle for more than 4-hours at a time. 
 
In the event soot forms on the inside of the container, extinguish the candle, wait for it to cool, and wipe away the soot with a damp cloth.  Trim the wick and relight.
 
Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans, air currents, children, pets, and flammable materials.  
 
Stop burning the candle when ¼ inch of wax remains in the container.
