Using this candle is easy. First, place it on a flat, heat - resistant surface in a well - ventilated area, away from things like pets, curtains, and anything that can catch fire. When you light it for the first time, let it burn for 1 to 3 hours. This helps set the candle memory and stops it from tunneling. After that, limit each burn to 2 to 3 hours. If the wick drifts to the side and touches the vessel wall, use a utensil to realign it. Don't let the candle burn when there's less than 2cm of wax left in the glass. Keep the wax pool clean of debris. Once the candle cools, remove any charred wick pieces to avoid a smoky flame next time. And if the jar is cracked, chipped, or broken, throw the candle away. Also, always keep it out of reach of children and pets, and never leave it burning without supervision.
