How to use

Open the hinged lid and rotate the flint wheel with the thumb to create a spark that lights the wick.

Replace the flint or wick when flame performance diminishes: pull out the insert and follow manufacturer instructions for safe replacement. Close the lid after use to extinguish the flame and reduce fuel evaporation.

Usage recommendations

For consistent windproof performance, keep the wick trimmed and replace the flint periodically. Use only recommended lighter fluid and handle refilling in a well-ventilated area away from open flames. Store the lighter upright and away from direct heat sources when not in use, and consider using genuine Zippo replacement parts to maintain reliability and fit.
