Candle holders

	Hand wash only For some Iittala objects we recommend hand wash only. To clean these items use regular dish washing detergent and a soft dish washing brush. Rinse well and leave to dry or dry with a soft cloth.

Burn within sight. Never leave a candle burning unattended; extinguish any burning flame when you leave the room. Extinguish the candle by suffocating the flame. Keep away from things that catch fire. Always burn candle holders on a fireproof base. Never place a candle holder beneath or in the immediate proximity of combustible materials (e.g. curtains, table clothes). Do not use scratched, chipped, or otherwise damaged candle holders.

Trim the wick to 8 mm (¼ inch) each time before burning. Long or crooked wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping, pool fire or flaring. Keep candle holders away from children and pets. Do not drop foreign objects into a candle holder or onto a candle (e.g. a match). Do not place a candle in a drafty or hot place, or on top of a television. Never touch or move candle or holder while hot; allow to cool or until wax hardens as the wick may shift in the melted wax. Do not burn an ordinary candle right to the end: extinguish it approx. 1-2 cm (1 inch) above the candle holder so that the heat of the flame will not crack the candleholder.

Use only good quality metalcupped tealight candles (no other types of candle) in a candle holder. The candles should have a maximum diameter of 40 mm (1.5 inches). Leave an adequate gap for air to circulate between a tealight candle and the walls of a glass candle holder. If your candle holder has a hanging cord, always use the original metal spacing holder, otherwise the cord could snap due to the heat. When grouping candles in arrangements, glass candle holders must be at least three cm (1.2 inches) apart from each other. Do not wash candle holder in dishwasher.
