Keep the candle within sight and away from drafts. Always place the candle on a flat, heat-resistant surface, and make sure to keep the candles away from children, pets, flammable materials and other heat sources. Never move or handle the candle while it's burning or while the wax is hot. You will experience the best burn results when the candle remains lit for 3-4 hours. Make sure that the wax melts to the edge of the candle before extinguishing it. Allowing the wax to pool will discourage 'tunnelling' or leaving wax on the sides of the vessel.

When there is approximately 1cm of wax remaining, it is time to stop using your candle. Extinguish the candle when 1cm or wax remains and recycle it according to your local recycling centre's guidance.
