Be sure to remove all packaging and labels materials before lighting a candle. Burn only in a proper votive holder placed on a heat-resistant surface. For best results, keep the wax around the wick area free of matches, wick trimmings, or other flammable materials. Keep the wick centered and trimmed to about 1/4 inch (65 mm) before each burning. Keep the votive holder or conatiner out of direct drafts, vents, and air currents. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never touch or move a votive or container candle when the wax is still a hot liquid. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
