• b) locating the point on the wick where it should extinguish and pushing that point into the extinguishing notch, so that the portion of wick to be burned is on the opposite side of the flame barrier from the main body;
• c) lighting the end of the wick exposed on the opposite side of the flame barrier from the main body;
• d) allowing the lighted wick to burn down to the extinguishing notch to be extinguished by removing air from the combustion process, with little smoke produced in the extinguishing process;
• e) removing the charred wick-end from the extinguishing notch by grasping the exposed wick in the wick retrieval recess area under the flame barrier;
• f) removing a length of wick from the storage area;
