Each burner is kiln-fired and colored by hand. Slight differences in glaze tone, rock-like texture, tiny mineral specks, natural pinholes, and local color variation are normal characteristics of ceramic craftsmanship.
The figure cover and base are separate pieces. Support the lower edge when lifting the cover rather than pulling on the hands, hood, or other raised details.
The heat-resistant pad may shift slightly during packaging or handling. Lay it flat inside the base before use.
Light the coil incense and gently blow out the flame until only the glowing ember remains. Place the coil flat in the center of the heat-resistant pad. Do not allow the burning section to touch the ceramic base or side walls.
Before replacing the figure cover, make sure the coil is stable. Keep the ventilation holes in the base and the hollow opening in the figure clear of ash or other objects.
Ash and natural smoke residue may collect inside the cover and base. Allow every part to cool completely before opening the burner and cleaning it with a soft, dry cloth or soft-bristled brush. Do not soak the ceramic or use harsh cleaning products, abrasive materials, or hard tools on the surface.
The cover and base may become hot during use. Always place the burner on a level, stable, heat-resistant, nonflammable surface with gentle ventilation. Keep it away from curtains, paper, children, and pets. Do not move the burner or leave incense unattended while it is burning.
