Jar Candles
- Handle jar candles with care; glass containers are fragile.
- Discontinue use if the jar is cracked, chipped or broken.
- Do not refill with wax.
- Do not allow the flame to touch the side of the jar.
- The jar may become hot. Handle carefully.
- If smoking occurs, check for drafts or high traffic areas, which may cause flame to flicker and smoke.
- Be sure that the wick is no longer than 1/4″. If it is, extinguish, trim to 1/4″, and relight.
- To minimize wax left on the sides of the jar, burn 3 hours at a time; it is normal for some wax to be left. The amount will vary per color, fragrance and burning conditions.
- Prevent possible heat damage to the counter/surface by discontinuing use when 1/2″ of wax remains. Burning past this point can present a fire hazard and cause the glass to break.
- Extinguish candle before replacing the lid.
