What are the burning instructions?* Always keep wick trimmed to 1/4". * Always place on flat surface while burning. * Keep away from children and pets while burning. * Burn for at least 2½ hours on the first burn or until the entire surface has turned to liquid wax to avoid "tunneling." * Always read and follow the manufacturer’s use and safety instructions carefully, located on the bottom of each candle. * Extinguish candle if it repeatedly smokes, flickers, or the flame becomes too high. * Always keep candles in sight when in use. *Keep wax free of wick trimmings, matches and any other flammable material.
