Candle Safety Tips
Candles are a pleasant
accessory for your home, but they need to be taken
seriously. Protect yourself and your family by
following these important safety tips while burning
candles. Always use common sense, and
remember...
You are
playing with fire!

- Never leave a burning candle unattended!
Stay in the same room with it!
- Never leave a candle burning while you sleep!
This is a huge cause of house fires!
- Keep candles out of the reach of children and
pets! Many candles smell so good, and some of
them even look like a food product, so make sure
kids don't mistake them! Watch for wagging
tails near a flame.
- Trim wicks prior to each use and keep trimmed to
1/4" to prevent smoke and soot damage to your
home.
- Keep candles away from drafts, vents and flammable
objects. This means do not use near or under a
fan or near a breezy window or vent, and do not burn
candle near curtains or anything else that could
easily catch fire.
- Extinguish a candle that smokes and trim wick
before re-lighting.
- Extinguish and discard candle when only ½"
of wax remains in bottom of container. If
flame is allowed to burn all the way to the bottom
and touch the glass it will get too hot and could
cause it to shatter!
- Use only candle holders that have been
manufactured for use with candles and burn only on a
stable heat resistant surface.
- Keep matches and other debris out of the candle's
melt pool.
- Extinguish the flame if it burns too close to the
container or holder. If flame leans against
the glass it will get too hot and could cause it to
shatter!
- Do not move a glass container while the wax is
still hot and liquid.
