Using your Annapolis Terrace Collection boxed candle is easy. Just remove the lid and light the wick. Place it in a stable, heat - resistant holder away from flammable items. To get the most out of your candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch before each use. This helps it burn evenly and reduces smoking. Keep the candle away from drafts as it can cause uneven burning. When you're done using it, blow out the flame gently. Don't touch the candle immediately after it's extinguished as it will be hot. Store the candle in a cool, dry place to maintain its fragrance and quality.
