- Always light your candle within sight; NEVER leave unattended!

- CEL SAL recommends using long matches or a stick lighter when lighting to prevent black smoldering around your glass. If using short match sticks or pocket size lighter, you are more inclined to tilt the candle jar thus creating smolder to build up. To remove smolder, simply wipe around the glass with a paper towel.

- Allow your candles (especially during first burn) to burn for a minimum of 3 hours to create a full "melt pool". The melt pool is the liquified wax that forms inside of your vessel and we want to make sure it's liquified all the way to the edges of the container. Extinguishing your candle before the melted wax has reached the edges will create a tunnel down the middle and could result in lots of leftover wax.

- Trim your wick EACH TIME before relighting. Snap, trim, or pinch away black burnt tip with your fingers or wick trimmer. Trimming this away ensures the best, safest, and cleanest burn.

Only trim your wick when your candle is completely cooled!

- Keep lit candles away from any draft or direct air flow (i.e fan, window, heating and cooling)

- For your safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/2 inch of wax remains in  the container
