Properly burn your candle:

Always burn your candle safely.

Burn candle within sight. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Never burn on or near anything that can catch fire. Trim wick to 1/4″ each time you light. Burn in a ventilated area but keep away from drafts. Burn candle on heat resistant surface or in a suitable holder. Do not move while lit or until wax hardens. Discontinue use when 1/2″ wax remains in bottom. For indoor use only. Do not burn longer than 4 hours at a time.

Closing the lid:

It is recommended that you do not fully close the lid after each use. Instead place the lid over the top of the candle to prevent dust and lint from entering the candle. When it is necessary to fully close the lid, use a mallet and NOT a hammer. Also, create a barrier between the candle and table (or other hard surface) before using the mallet (i.e. a place mat, or cloth) in order to prevent possible chipping.
