The following steps will help minimize your risk when you burn candles in your home.

• Follow the instructions printed on the label by the manufacturer.

• Trim candle wicks to a height of 5-7 mm before lighting the candle. Trim them again every 2-3 hours to prevent high flames.

• Use well ventilated candle holders that are sturdy and will not tip over. Avoid wooden or plastic holders, as these can catch fire.

• Use caution with glass candle holders. They can break when they get too hot.

• Never drop objects, such as matches, into candles.

• Keep burning candles away from materials that can catch fire (e.g., curtains, decorations, clothing). If your clothes catch fire, "Stop, Drop and Roll."

• Keep burning candles away from the reach of children and pets.

• Do not leave candles burning with no one in the room.

• Extinguish all candles before you go to sleep.

• Teach your children to be careful around open flames. Make sure they understand that candles are not toys, or something they can eat or drink.
