  • Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets, including birds.
  • Do not let matches, wick trimmings or debris accumulate in the jar, as this could be a fire hazard.
  • Always burn candles on a heat resistant surface, preferably on a heat and fire resistant candle holder.
  • Burn candle in an area away from flammable materials,  free from drafts and not near any other heat sources.
  • Keep candle wick trimmed to 1/8” at all times.  “Clip Your Wick“  Wick Trimmers are available through Tobacco Outlet Products.
  • Make sure the candle wick is centered and the flame never touches the glass.
  • To reduce possibility of smoking or sooting, keep wick trimmed to 1/8” at all times.
  • If smoking occurs, extinguish candle, re-trim wick to 1/8”, remove any trimmings or debris and relight candle.
  • To extinguish flame, place the metal lid over the jar, as this will minimize smoking.
  • Should the jar become blackened, extinguish flame, allow candle to cool, and wipe inside of jar with a paper towel to clean off residue.
  • Burn candle until ¾” of wax remains and discard, as glass may shatter.  Do not refill jar with wax.
  • Glass jars are fragile, so handle with care.  Do not use jars that are cracked, chipped or scratched.
  • Wax may be left on the sides of the jar after burning.  To minimize this, burn your candle 3-4 hours at a time, until surface is completely liquid.  Some wax may still remain, and this is normal, and the amount varies with candle color, fragrance and the burning environment.
