Setup: Refilling the Butane Torch

Before first use, or when the flame becomes weak, the torch needs to be refilled with butane gas. Use only high-quality butane gas with a long-tip nozzle.

1. Ensure the torch is completely cool and the safety lock is engaged.
2. Turn the torch upside down. The refill valve is located at the center of the trumpet-shaped base.
3. Insert the nozzle of the butane gas canister vertically into the refill valve.
4. Press down firmly for 5-10 seconds. You may hear a hissing sound as gas transfers.
5. Repeat the process 2-3 times to ensure a full refill.
6. After refilling, wait for at least 2-3 minutes before igniting the torch to allow the gas to stabilize.
