Fill the Lighter

Before using the lighter, it must be filled with lighter fluid. Use only genuine Zippo lighter fluid to ensure proper function and avoid damage to the lighter. To fill the lighter, follow these steps:

  1. Open the lighter by lifting the top.

  3. Squeeze the can to fill the lighter for approximately 5 seconds.

Light the Lighter

To light the lighter, simply flick the flint wheel. The spark will ignite the lighter fluid and create a flame. Hold the lighter upside down for a few seconds to allow the flame to stabilize before using it.

Adjust the Flame Height

The flame height can be adjusted to suit your needs. To increase the flame height, use a small screwdriver or key to gently turn the flame adjuster located on the bottom of the lighter clockwise. To decrease the flame height, turn the adjuster counterclockwise.

Extinguish the Flame

To extinguish the flame, simply close the lighter top. The flame will be suffocated and extinguished instantly.
