- IMMEDIATELY EXTINGUISH FLAME if it smokes excessively or if flame touches container
- Do not burn a candle if the container is damaged or cracked
- Do not touch a glass container while a candle is burning!! It can be HOT!!
- Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches and other debris. This is dangerous and can cause excessive smoke and soot.
- Do not extinguish by placing a lid on the container.
- Discontinue use when the wax reaches the punt (1" from the bottom).

WHEN LIGHTING YOUR CANDLE FOR THE 1ST TIME, PLEASE TRIM THE WICK & ALLOW FOR ENOUGH TIME BEFORE EXTINGUISHING THE FLAME (3 HOURS SHOULD BE EFFICIENT). THIS WILL ALLOW AN EVEN MELT POOL ACROSS THE TOP OF THE CANDLE, THUS PROLONGING THE LIFE OF YOUR CANDLE AND AVOID TUNNELING OF THE WAX.
