3. Setup and Refilling Instructions

Your TOPKAY K358 lighter is shipped without butane fuel. It must be refilled before first use.

Required for Refilling:

• Butane fuel canister with a long nozzle/stem.
• Small screwdriver or similar tool (e.g., ballpoint pen) to drain residual air.

Figure 3: Ensure your butane canister has a long stem nozzle for proper refilling.

Refilling Steps:

1. Drain Residual Air: Turn the lighter upside down. Use a small screwdriver or ballpoint pen to press the refill valve (located at the bottom of the lighter) to drain any remaining fuel or air. Hold for approximately 1-2 seconds until no more gas escapes.


Step 1: Draining residual air from the refill valve.

2. Insert Butane Nozzle: Invert the butane fuel canister and firmly insert its long nozzle into the refill valve of the lighter.


Step 2: Inserting the butane nozzle into the refill valve.

3. Refill: Press down firmly for approximately 3-10 seconds. You may hear a hissing sound, which is normal. Repeat this process 2-3 times if necessary, allowing a few seconds between each press.

Step 3: Pressing down to refill the lighter.
4. Wait: After refilling, wait 2-3 minutes before attempting to ignite the lighter. This allows the gas to stabilize and reach room temperature.


Step 4: Wait 2-3 minutes after refilling.

5. Maintenance

• Regularly clean the lighter's nozzle and body with a soft, dry cloth to prevent residue buildup.
• Store the lighter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Ensure the lighter is empty of fuel before long-term storage.

6. Troubleshooting

Lighter Won't Stay Lit:

If the lighter ignites but the flame does not remain stable or extinguishes quickly, it may be due to insufficient gas flow.

• Solution: Turn up the flame adjustment wheel (located at the bottom of the lighter) towards the '+' symbol until the flame becomes stable.

Lighter Does Not Ignite:

• Check the fuel level in the transparent tank. If empty, refill the lighter following the instructions in Section 3.
• Ensure all residual air has been purged from the lighter before refilling.
• Verify that the flame adjustment wheel is not set to the minimum ('-') position. Adjust it to a medium setting.
