Step by step instructions of how to refill and
care for your lighter
1. Do not refill your lighter immediately after using it. You
should allow enough time for the lighter to cool off.2. The
flame height adjuster on the bottom of the lighter should be set
to minimum by turning CLOCKWISE with a small screw driver. The
smaller, usually Phillips head, screw is for dismantling the
lighter and should not be touched. The adjusting screw is a
larger screw with a standard (slot) head. Some lighters come
with a key to turn the adjusting screw. Some models have an
adjusting wheel that requires no screwdriver. Please DO NOT
FORCE the adjusting screw. If it is hard to turn in one
direction this most likely means that the adjustment screw is
already at the (-) or (+) limit. Try turning the other
direction.
3. Push the refilling valve with a screwdriver to let out the
air inside until no hissing sound is heard. Hold the lighter
away from your face. Air inside the fuel tank prevents butane
gas from being injected into the tank and causes the lighter to
malfunction.
4. ALWAYS refill the lighter in an upside down position to
avoid
injecting air into the lighter.
5. Shake the butane gas refill can, press the stem of the
refill can directly onto the refill valve on the bottom of the
lighter. Keep them in a straight position and let the gas go
into the lighter for about 5 seconds. Repeat for a shorter
period if needed.
6. Allow 3-4 minutes to let gas and lighter components reach
room temperature.
7. Turn the flame adjuster counter clockwise to reach the
desired flame height.
8. Hold the lighter away from your face and body and ignite
it carefully. If there is no flame, repeat the refilling
process.
9. If you experience gas leakage with a hissing sound while
refilling the lighter, either you are not holding the lighter
and gas can in a straight position or the stem of the gas can is
not suitable for the lighter. In this case you need to use an
adaptor which is usually supplied with the gas can.
10. Premium butane is required to ensure optimum performance
of your lighter. Lighters require the cleanest butane available
at a pressure of 45 psi. Recommended using Premium Triple
Refined Butane Gas that are packaged in 10-13 oz. cans with a
metal fill tip nozzle. Non-premium butane with plastic fill tip
nozzles are not recommended as they may cause inconsistent
ignition and performance. Impurity of the gas can cause clogging
of the burner valve or malfunctioning.
You can obtain Premium Triple Refined Butane from our website or
at your local tobacco shop or grocery store.
WARNING: PLEASE, ALWAYS KEEP YOUR LIGHTER AWAY FROM THE REACH
OF CHILDREN. USE COMMON SENSE IN HANDLING YOUR LIGHTER.
Troubleshooting: If you are having problems with your
lighter, make sure that:
*You are holding the lighter upside down while refilling. If
you did not hold the lighter upside down, there will be air
inside the butane tank. You will need to let the air out and try
refilling again.
*The flame height is properly adjusted.
*You are not using cheap or incorrect fuel.
*There is no dirt or debris in the lighter. Try blowing
forcefully into the top part of the unlit lighter. |
