Information
Always place candles well away from
curtains, furniture and drapes and always out of drafts. Keep candles out of the
reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep candles
away from hair and clothing. Always place candles upright in a suitable holder
which cannot fall over easily. Make sure candles are properly extinguished, especially

this helps avoids the candle smoking. Do not burn a candles for more than 2-3
hours as a time to avoid the sides getting too hot and melting.
