- Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and debris at all times.
- Always read and follow the burning and safety instructions carefully.
- Don't burn a candle longer than approx 4 hours at a time.
- Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents.
- Extinguish the flame if it comes too close to the holder or container.
- Never touch or move a burning candle when the wax is liquid.
- Place burning candles at least 10cm apart.
- Make sure a candle is completely extinguished and the wick is no longer glowing before leaving the room.
- Extinguish a candle if it flickers repeatedly, smokes, or the flame becomes too high. Let it cool, trim the wick, check for drafts and if melt pool is clean. Re-light.
