To use, place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts and flammable materials. Trim the wick to about a quarter inch before lighting for an optimal burn. Light the wick and allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to prevent tunneling. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish the flame by gently blowing it out or using a snuffer. Ensure the wick is upright and centered after extinguishing.
