• Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep.

• Trim the wick to ¼ inch each time before lighting. This helps prevent the flame from getting too large.

• Follow the 2 foot rule - don't place a burning candle near clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable.

• Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans and any air currents.

• Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface that is sturdy and large enough to catch any melted wax.

• Extinguish a candle if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container.

• Place burning candles at least 3 inches apart from one another.

• A burning candle should not be used as a nightlight.

• A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time.

• Don’t burn a candle all the way down. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container.
