"Carefully"?  ;-)

See http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tile_usage_policy

Any use of the system that causes a noticeable load is subject to the
admin team cutting you off.  So, my use on my unknown site, to help me
in mapping stuff is unlikely to be noticed.  Use on a hugely
successful site with tonnes of traffic is likely to be noticed.  So
consider the effect your planned use will have on the community.

Fortunately, the project provides everything that you need to run your
own OSM server and create and serve your own tiles.  So your
successful Web3.5 site can use all the tiles you need without harming
mappers around the world.

Lots of guidance on the wiki and other sites starting with OpenLayers.  .

Best regards,
