3. Setup and Refilling

3.1 Draining Residual Fuel/Air

Before refilling, it is crucial to drain any remaining fuel or built-up air from the lighter's tank. This ensures a proper and complete refill.

1. Turn the lighter upside down.
2. Using a small screwdriver or a similar pointed tool, press down on the refill valve located at the bottom of the lighter.
3. Hold the valve down for approximately 5-10 seconds until all gas and air are released. You may hear a hissing sound.

3.2 Refilling with Butane

Use high-quality butane fuel with a long nozzle stem for optimal performance. The lighter features a visible fuel level window to monitor the butane level.

1. Ensure the lighter is turned off and the flame adjustment is set to the lowest setting (if applicable).
2. Invert the butane can and the lighter.
3. Firmly insert the butane can's nozzle into the lighter's refill valve.
4. Press down for approximately 3-5 seconds. Repeat this process 2-3 times, allowing a few seconds between each press for the fuel to settle.
5. Observe the transparent fuel window to ensure the tank is adequately filled. Avoid overfilling.
6. After refilling, wait at least 2-3 minutes before attempting to ignite the lighter to allow the gas to stabilize and reach room temperature.
