Precautions for Using Taper Candles:
1.Keep Away from Flammable Objects:
Always place candles away from flammable materials such as curtains, paper, or fabric. Ensure they are on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
2.Never Leave Unattended:
Do not leave burning candles unattended. Always extinguish the flame before leaving the room or going to bed.
3.Keep Out of Reach of Children and Pets:
Ensure candles are placed in areas where children and pets cannot reach them to prevent accidental knocks or burns.
4.Use Proper Candle Holders:
Use sturdy candle holders that fit the candles securely to prevent tipping over. Ensure the holder is heat-resistant and placed on a stable surface.
5.Trim the Wick:
Before lighting, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch to prevent excessive smoking and uneven burning.
6.Avoid Drafts:
Keep candles away from drafts, vents, and fans. A draft can cause uneven burning, dripping, and increased risk of a fire.
7.Do Not Move While Lit:
Avoid moving candles while they are lit to prevent hot wax spills and potential fires.
8.Extinguish Properly:
Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to avoid hot wax splatters. Ensure the wick is not smoldering before leaving it unattended.
9.Store Properly:
When not in use, store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting and discoloration.
10.Avoid Burning to the End:
To prevent damage to surfaces and holders, do not burn the candle all the way down. Leave about 1/2 inch of wax at the base.
