Use of candles
Trim wicks to 5-7 mm before use with a wick trimmer or scissors.
To extinguish a candle flame blow gently and steadily on the flame until it is extinguished.
If wicks are too short the wax may not burn all the way to the edge, and if too long the wicks may cause black soot..
Do not burn for less than one hour or more than four hours at a time.
