Using your Audo Ignus Flameless Candle is super easy. First, make sure to insert the appropriate batteries into the battery compartment. Once the batteries are in, you can turn on the candle. You'll notice there are three different dimming settings. Just press the button on the candle to cycle through these settings and find the perfect lighting for your space. When it comes to placement, you can put it on any flat surface, like a table or a shelf. It's great for creating a cozy atmosphere in your living room, bedroom, or even during a special dinner. As for maintenance, keep it clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they might damage the matte finish of the bone china. And remember, if you're not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days.
