For best results, trim the wick to ¼ inch before each burn and let the wax melt evenly to the edges to avoid tunneling. Burn for 2–4 hours at a time, away from drafts, children, and flammable objects. Always place on a heat-resistant surface and never leave unattended. Extinguish gently, recentre the wick, and allow the wax to cool before moving. Store your candle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its scent and quality.
