Setup, Compatibility & Care
No technical setup is required for these safety matches. Simply remove the box from any outer shipping packaging and locate the strike pads on the sides. To maintain the integrity of the matches, store the box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Moisture can compromise the ignition chemicals on the orange tips, making them difficult to light. If the matches become damp, allow them to air dry thoroughly before attempting to strike. Keep the box out of reach of children and pets to prevent accidental ignition.
