Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park Candle

Place on a protected, heat-resistant, dry surface, away from anything that can catch fire and out of reach of children and pets.

Never leave burning candles unattended. Keep them within sight at all times.

Always burn your candle in a draft-free area. Drafts (ceiling fans, A/C vents, windows, etc.) will make the candle flame flicker and smoke.

Do not burn under a shelf, as this will inhibit the amount of oxygen that is getting to the candle's wick and can cause the candle not to burn correctly.

Limit the length of individual burnings to a maximum of 2 hours. Allow the candle to cool before relighting.

If smoking occurs, extinguish the candle, trim the wick, remove trimmings, and relight.

Keep the wick centered.

Keep the wax pool free of wick trimmings, matches, or combustible materials.

Teach everyone in the family the rules of safe candle use.

Prevent heat damage to the counter/surface by discontinuing use when 1/2″ of wax remains. Burning past this point can present a fire hazard.
