Setup

Refilling the Butane Torch:

2. Hold the torch upside down.
3. Insert the nozzle of the butane fuel can directly into the refill valve at the bottom of the torch.
4. Press down firmly for 5-10 seconds. You may hear a hissing sound, which is normal.
5. Repeat the process 2-3 times to ensure a full refill.
6. Wait a few minutes after refilling before attempting to ignite the torch to allow the gas to stabilize.

Note: If you experience difficulty refilling, ensure the butane can nozzle is properly aligned with the torch's refill valve. Some butane cans may require an adapter, though typically not for this model.
