Light your candle in a well-ventilated room, away from drafts or fans, which can cause sooting or rapid, uneven burning. Allow your candle to burn for 2-3 hours at a time to prevent the wax from tunnelling, and keep the wax pool clear of debris to prevent your candle from burning faster. To extinguish the flame, use the lid or a snuffer. Be sure to centre and straighten the wick when it is cool to touch so that it is easier to light for its next use. Long wicks can create high flames, so ensure that the wick is trimmed to 5mm following every burn. Keep lighted candles away from children and pets.
