The first time you light your candle you should let it burn for 2-3 hours. Extinguish the candle when the melted wax pools out to approximately 1/4 inch from the outside edge. You have now set the burning point for your candle and the outside should glow as it burns down the center.

If your candles outside edge begins to warp a little just gently press it back into shape immediately after extinguishing it.

The wick should be cut if your candle begins to flicker or exceeds 3/4 inch long. Nail clippers make trimming an unlit candle a snap.

Try to keep your candle out of drafty areas, this will ensure a uniform burn.

Stop burning your candle when the bottom gets to be 3/4 inch thick. This will help to ensure you don’t burn the plate it is sitting on and to prevent spilling hot wax.

Never leave a burning candle unattended.
