The most important thing to remember is that candles involve a flame! They need to be treated with caution! Always read and follow safety instructions carefully.
The first time you burn your candle burn it for 2-3 hours. Burn the candle until wax melts across the entire surface of the vessel as this will prevent tunnelling, and create an even burn for the duration of the candle's life.
Trim your wick every time you light your candle. The wick needs to be trimmed to 1/4 inch. Trimming the wick will avoid mushrooming which can result in unnecessary soot.
Ideally you want to extinguish a candle with a snuffer or a wick dipper. If you blow out the candle please do not get close to the candle flame in case wax moves when it is blown out. Once the flame is out please stand back to avoid any smoke from the candle.
When your candle has 1/2" of wax left remaining do no continue to burn your candle. If you keeping burning the candle it can cause the glass to break.
