These instructions prioritize safety and proper candle care, ensuring users can enjoy their candles while minimizing the risk of accidents or damage.

Wick Trimming:

Recommends trimming the wick of the candle to control the flame size and prevent the wax from melting too quickly. It advises discarding the candle when only 1/4 inch (0.6cm) of wax remains.

Extinguishing the Candle:

Suggests using a short, directed burst of air to extinguish the candle flame, rather than blowing it out with water. Caution is advised when moving the candle until the wax has cooled and set, and it reminds users to check the temperature of the jar, which may be hot to the touch.

Soot Management:

Acknowledges that soot is natural and offers recommendations to minimize it, such as properly trimming the wick (recommended length: 1/8" or 0.3cm), avoiding overheating the candle for more than 3-4 hours, and ensuring it's placed in a well-ventilated area.

Usage Limitations:

Advises against burning the candle for more than 4-5 hours at a time to prevent the jar from overheating and possible cracking.

General Safety Guidelines:

Provides general safety guidelines for using candles, including lighting them in well-ventilated areas on heat-resistant surfaces, never leaving them unattended or near flammable objects, and keeping them out of reach of children and pets.

Ensuring Full Extinguishment:

Emphasizes ensuring the candle is fully extinguished before leaving the room to prevent fire hazards.
