Troubleshooting

Candles do not fit securely

Ensure you are using standard taper candles. If the fit is still loose, gently bend the aluminium holder inward slightly, or consider using a small amount of candle putty for a tighter fit.

Surface appears dull or tarnished

Gently polish with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For more persistent dullness, use a specialized metal polish for aluminium-zinc, applying sparingly and buffing immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.

Holder wobbles or is unstable

Ensure the candle holder is placed on a perfectly flat and level surface. Check that the two interlocking parts are securely joined and there is no visible damage to the base.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This candle holder is designed for standard taper candles. It is not suitable for pillar candles, tealights, or other candle types.

Care: To maintain the luster of the polished aluminium-zinc, dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.

Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or polishing compounds, as these can damage the finish. Handle with care to avoid scratching or denting the metal surface.
