Before You Light........

While Burning......

  • Burn your candle long enough for the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn to help prevent tunneling.

  • Do not burn your candle for more than 4 hours at a time.

  • Never leave a burning candle unattended.

  • Keep burning candles away from curtains, bedding, paper, decorations, and anything flammable.

  • Always keep candles out of the reach of children and pets.

  • Never move a candle while it is burning or while the wax is still hot.

When to Stop Burning.......

  • Discontinue use when approximately 1/2 inch of wax remains in the bottom of the vessel.

  • Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting, handling, or replacing the lid.

Extinguishing Your Candle........

  • Extinguish the flame carefully using a candle snuffer or by gently blowing it out.
