Always keep a burning candle within sight.

Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or before going to sleep.

Never burn a candle on or near anything that can catch fire. Place candles away from drapes, bedding, carpets, books, paper, flammable decorations, etc.

Keep candles out of the reach of children and pets. Don’t place lighted candles where they might be knocked over by children or pets.

Trim candlewicks to ¼ inch each time before burning. 

Be sure the candleholder is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. This will also help prevent possible heat damage to underlying surfaces. 

Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings and match debris at all times.

Don't burn a candle longer than 4hrs

Keep burning candles away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans and air currents. This will help prevent rapid, uneven burning, and avoid flame flare-ups. Drafts can also blow lightweight curtains or papers into the flame where they could catch fire.

Never touch or move a burning candle when the wax is liquid.

Never extinguish candles with water. The water can cause the hot wax to splatter.

Make sure a candle is completely extinguished before leaving the room.

Extinguish a candle if it flickers repeatedly, smokes, or the flame becomes too high.

Never use a candle as a night light.
