Candle Safety
Safety First
1. For best burning performance and to reduce soot emissions, trim the wick to
¼ inch each time before burning.
2. Do not exceed burning candles for more than 4 hours.
3. Discontinue use when ½ inch of wax remains.
4. Place on a flat, heat resistant surface that is away from anything flammable.
5. Remove any decorative accents prior to burning.
6. Extinguish candles with a wick dipper.
7. Do not drop foreign matter, wick trimmings, or matches into wax pool.
8. Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents and air currents.
9. If using a glass container, remember the glass becomes hot during operation.
10. Extinguish a candle if it smokes flickers repeatedly, or the flame becomes too high.
11. Always burn candles in well ventilated room.
12. And the most important rule of all, never leave a burning candle unattended.
Candles should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place and, for tapers, in a flat position to prevent warping. When stored properly, candles can be enjoyed for years and play an import role in traditions.
