How to use

To operate, open the flip-top cap and rotate the flint wheel with your thumb to create a spark that lights the wick. Close the cap after extinguishing the flame to protect the ignition area and retain fuel. To refill, remove the lighter insert from the case, lift the felt pad to expose the fuel chamber, and add standard lighter fuel in small amounts to avoid overfilling. Replace the flint by removing the screw at the bottom of the insert, and adjust or trim the wick if necessary for optimal flame size. Follow basic safety practices and allow the lighter to breathe briefly after refueling before igniting.

Usage recommendations

Keep the lighter away from children and store it in a cool, well-ventilated place. Use recommended lighter fuel only and perform regular maintenance: replace the flint when spark weakens, trim or adjust the wick to maintain even flame, and check seals after prolonged use. For prolonged storage, empty the fuel chamber to reduce evaporation and leakage risks.
