Keep burning candles away from children, pets, flammable materials and
draughts.
Place candles on a stable, heat-resistant surface before
lighting.
Trim the wick to 5mm before each use to prevent excessive
flame and soot.
Do not burn a candle for more than 4 hours at a stretch. Allow
to cool completely before relighting.
Discontinue use when only 1cm of wax remains at the bottom.
Clay pot diyas should be placed on a heat-resistant plate or

with a snuffer or lid.

responsible for any damage,
injury or loss arising from improper use of our products.
