To prevent fire hazard read all instructions prior to use. Stop use when 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of unmelted wax remains. Extinguish every 4 hours and allow to cool. To reduce sooting, trim wick to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) each time it is lit. Keep wax pool free of wick trimmings & any foreign matter. Do not move a lit candle. Avoid use in drafty areas.
