To prevent fire: burn candle within sight. Use in well ventilated, draft free area, away from anything that can catch fire, keep away from children. Place on a heat-resistant surface. To reduce sooting, trim wick 0.25 inch (0.6 cm) before each relighting, keep foreign matter, matches and wick trimmings out of candle, do not burn for more than 4 hours at a time. Allow candle to fully cool before relighting. Never burn a candle all the way down.
