Pinch the black portion of the wood wick or the burnt mushrooming part of the cotton wick using a wick trimmer! Failure to trim your wick can cause the flame to burn too high and too hot. If your candle flame is burning too high (over 1 inch), you are burning your candle in a drafty location, or your wick has not been trimmed enough. In this case, extinguish your candle and trim the wick shorter. Allow melt pool to fully harden, and then relight.

Failure to trim your wick can cause the candle to extinguish itself, or the candle flame could burn too high and let off black smoke.

• Always trim your wick to 1/8 inch before relighting to maintain a safe flame height.
• Never leave your candle unattended - extinguish all candles when you leave a room.
• Never keep your candle lit for longer than 4 hours.
• Keep your candle away from flammable materials and drafts, and never leave them unattended.
• Burn candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface, like a kitchen countertop.
• Never place a burning candle near clothing, paper products, curtains or anything flammable.
• Never leave your candle where it could be reached or knocked over by children or pets.
• Discontinue use when silver wick clips are visible, or a 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom of the vessel.

An ideal candle burn time is between 2 and 4 hours - if burned longer your candle may overheat. This can cause the wick to mushroom, leading to excessive soot and a larger flame. Burning your candle for longer than 4 hours could also cause the candle to burn too hot.
