Precautions for Using Electronic Candles

While electronic candles are significantly safer than traditional ones, observing the following precautions is essential to ensure their long-term use and absolute safety.

1. Read the Instructions: Always carefully read the user manual and safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer before using any new product.
   
   

2. Keep Away from Water and Damp Areas:

   • Although many electronic candles are battery-operated, avoid immersing them in water or placing them where they could be exposed to rain (unless the product is explicitly marked as outdoor or waterproof).

   • When cleaning, use a dry cloth. Do not use a wet cloth or spray cleaner directly onto the candle.
     
     

3. Avoid Overheating:

   • Do not place electronic candles near heat sources, such as radiators, ovens, or stoves.

   • Avoid prolonged direct sunlight to prevent the plastic casing or wax components from deforming or fading due to high temperatures.
     
     

4. Proper Battery Usage:

   • Install the batteries correctly, ensuring the positive and negative terminals align as indicated. Remove the batteries if the candle will not be used for an extended period to prevent potential leakage and corrosion of the internal circuits.

   • Use new batteries of the same type; do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different brands.

   • For rechargeable models, use the original or certified charger and avoid overcharging.
     
     

5. Inspect Cords (for plug-in models):

   • Regularly check the power cord and plug for any signs of wear or damage. Stop use immediately if any damage is found.
     
     

6. Place with Care:

   • Even though they are flameless, avoid placing them inside or directly against curtains, paper, or other flammable materials to prevent any risk from potential abnormal heat generation after prolonged use.

   • Ensure they are placed on a stable surface where they are not easily knocked over by children or pets, especially taller taper candles.
     
     

7. Adult Supervision:

   • Although safe, it is recommended that children be supervised by an adult when operating or playing with electronic candles, especially models with small detachable parts.
     
     

8. Turn Off When Not in Use:

   • Always turn off electronic candles when leaving them unattended or when leaving home. Utilizing built-in timer functions is an excellent habit for both safety and energy savings.
     
     

9. Cleaning and Storage:

   • Always ensure the candle is turned off and batteries are removed before cleaning.

   • When not in use, store them in a cool, dry place and avoid placing heavy objects on top of them.
