To prevent fire, never let a candle burn out of your sight, keep it out of children's and pets reach, and never place it near anything that can catch fire. Place candle on a heat-resistant surface. Once extinguished, allow to cool before touching. Never burn a candle for more than 3 hours at a time. Discard container and discontinue use when 1/2" wax remains. Always trim wick to 1/4" and remove any debris before lighting.
