How should I use and care for this candle to maximize life and safety?

Follow common-sense candle care: keep the candle away from drafts, trim the wicks to 1/4 inch before each lighting, and allow the wax to melt to the jar edges on the first burn to prevent tunneling. These simple steps help preserve fragrance and extend usable burn time.

• Trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting
• Burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface away from drafts
• Avoid burning more than 4 hours at a time for best performance
• Store with lid on to protect scent when not in use
