For safety, always place the candle on a flat, heat - resistant surface. Keep it away from flammable materials and out of reach of children and pets. When you're done using it, blow out the wicks gently. To maintain your candle, store it in a cool, dry place. The aluminum container helps protect the candle for long - term use. If you notice any debris on the wicks, you can gently clean them before the next use. Enjoy the reliable light and warmth this candle provides during emergencies!
