Tealights
	Available in aluminum and transparent cups.
	Aluminum cups are recommended for "closed-type" holders (ex: tealight houses and lamps).
	Clear cups are recommended if you will be able to see the tealight as it's burning.

Votive Candles
	Always keep wicks trimmed to ¼" and straight.
	The metal clip is designed to extinguish the flame.
	Always remove the metal clip from the previous votive before placing the new votive in the holder. NEVER stack one on top of another.
	While burning votives, be sure that wick is centered.
	Wicks too close to the side of a votive holder may cause breakage.

Dinner Candles
	Always keep wicks trimmed to ¼" and straight.
	Do not place near drafts, fans or air conditioners.
	If dripping occurs, snuff the candle out, wait for wax to harden and remove excess. Trim the wick and re-light.
	Burning time is approximately 45 minutes per inch.

Pillar Candles
	Keep wick centered and trimmed to ¼" for all pillars EXCEPT 3-Wicks.
	NEVER trim the wicks on a 3-Wick. A candle of that size needs all the heat it can get to burn properly.
	For the first few lightings gradually burn until the belltop is gone.
	Once the candle has a flat surface, burn a minimum of 1 hour per inch for each inch of the candle's diameter.
	Pillars should always have a flat surface not "deep well".
	Gently "hug" the soft wax toward the center to maintain a flat surface and burn the candle to its very end.

Floaters
	Float the candles in cold water to increase burning time.

Important Reminders/Hints
	Never leave a burning candle unattended!
	Always snuff out candles to prevent wax from spraying, keep wick in the center, and capture the carbon from the wick.
	Always burn candles in the proper receptacles.
	Refrigerating candles makes them burn more slowly (wrap candles carefully in plastic wrap to prevent cracking). DO NOT FREEZE.
	Keep your candles beautiful by rubbing gently with fine mesh stockings to heighten gloss and remove scratches.
	Store all candles in a cool, dark and dry place.
