How to use

Open the flip-top lid with your thumb, rotate the striker wheel to generate a spark, and allow fuel vapour from the saturated wick to ignite. To refill, remove the lighter insert from the case, lift the felt pad to expose the cotton packing and add lighter fluid according to the fuel manufacturer’s instructions until the packing is adequately saturated. Replace worn flints by removing the flint spring and inserting a new flint; replace the wick when visibly charred or shortened beyond recommended length. Close the lid after use to fully extinguish the flame and protect the ignition assembly.

Usage recommendations

Use only recommended lighter fluid for refill and genuine replacement flints and wicks where possible. Allow excess fluid to evaporate before closing the lid or using the lighter to avoid leakage and flare-ups. Keep away from children and follow local regulations for carrying fuel-filled lighters during travel.
