Please do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as this may damage the finish. Please position a tealight securely and ensure the flame is not directed at the side of the holder. This product will get hot in use. Keep out of reach of children. Wait until fully cooled before handling. Never leave a burning candle unattended.
