Can I use candles, my fireplace, gas stove or have any open flames?

Never use open flames in the house if you use oxygen and do not allow anyone else to smoke in a room where oxygen is being used.

Oxygen will not burn by itself, but when a flame or any smoldering material (e.g. cigarette) is exposed to high oxygen levels, the fire will flare suddenly and burn violently.
