Maintenance
- Mantle Replacement: Mantles are fragile and will eventually break. Replace them when they become damaged or no longer produce a consistent light. Follow the "Installing Mantles" steps for replacement.
- Cleaning: Keep the glass globe clean for optimal light output. Allow the lantern to cool completely before cleaning. Use a soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not in use, disconnect the propane cylinder. Store the lantern in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The collapsible footed base allows for compact storage.
- Corrosion Resistance: The porcelain-coated 2-tier ventilator is designed to resist corrosion and rust, contributing to the lantern's longevity.
