5.1. Cleaning
- Always allow lanterns to cool completely before attempting to clean them.
- Wipe glass surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn residue, a mild glass cleaner can be used.

6. Troubleshooting
- Candle not lighting: Ensure the wick is intact and dry. Replace the tea light if the wick is damaged or too short.

8. Important Safety Information
Your safety is paramount. Please adhere to the following guidelines:
- Always use extreme caution when handling open flames.
- Keep all flammable materials (e.g., curtains, paper, fabrics, dry plants) well away from the lanterns, especially when candles are lit.
- Do not move lanterns while candles are lit or if the glass is still hot. Allow them to cool completely.
- Ensure lanterns are placed on a stable, non-flammable surface to prevent tipping.
- For outdoor use, protect lanterns from strong winds that could cause flames to spread or lanterns to tip over.
- Never use water to extinguish a candle, as this can cause hot wax to splatter or glass to crack. Use a snuffer or carefully blow out the flame.
