For those new to soy melt bars, we have listed below a few tips on burning them: -Place your oil burner in a safe, stable situation, away from drafts and anything flammable and also well out of the reach of children or pets. - Place the Soy Wax melts in the top of a dry oil burner - do not add water - if the melts are in the form of a clamshell pack, just push the bottom of one cell and break off a single melt cube (reseal the pack to retain the fragrance of the remaining melts). - Light a tea light candle in the base of the oil burner and allow the wax to melt - when melted a delightful aroma will be released into the room - Don't forget to extinguish the tea light candle when leaving the room - never leave it unattended or within reach of children or pets.
