Is there a proper way to burn a candle?
Yes, there is. Burn candle within sight and out of reach of children and pets. Never burn candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Keep wick centered and trimmed to 1/4″ at all times to prevent excessive flame or smoke. Do not allow wick trimmings or other debris to fall into melted wax. For best performance, burn until wax melts evenly across container, not exceeding 4 hours. Discontinue use when only 1/2″ of wax remains in bottom of container or left of pillar. Never move a hot candle. Never burn candle unattended or near a draft. Failure to follow these instructions could result in fire hazard or injury.
