For added peace of mind, every Root candle wick is carefully designed to self-extinguish. However, it's important that you trim your wick to 1/4 inch from the top of the candle before each use.

And remember:

• Never leave a burning candle unattended
• Never burn a candle near anything flammable
• Keep burning candles out of reach of children and pets
• Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Avoid burning your candle in a draft to minimize smoke
• If your candle is burning unevenly, simply move the extinguished wick to the center with spoon
  handle while the wax is still soft.
• Although candles may smell like food, they are not edible
