2. Setup and Refilling Instructions

Your TOPKAY Butane Torch Lighter is shipped without butane fuel due to safety regulations. Please follow these steps to safely refill and prepare your lighter for use.

Required Materials:

• High-quality butane gas canister with a long nozzle.
• Small screwdriver or similar tool (e.g., Allen wrench) for bleeding.

Refilling Procedure:

1. Bleed the Lighter: Before refilling, ensure there is no residual air or gas in the lighter's tank. Turn the lighter upside down. Use a small screwdriver or similar tool to press down on the gas refill valve (located at the bottom of the lighter) for a few seconds until any hissing sound stops. This releases trapped air.
2. Adjust Flame to Lowest Setting: Turn the flame adjustment knob (also at the bottom) to its lowest setting (turn towards the '-' symbol).
3. Fill with Butane: Hold the butane gas canister vertically with the nozzle pointing downwards. Insert the butane canister nozzle firmly into the lighter's refill valve. Press down for 3-6 seconds. Repeat this process 3-4 times, allowing a few seconds between each press. The visible fuel window will show the tank filling. For safety, the lighter gas tank accepts only 85% liquid butane capacity.
4. Wait: After refilling, wait at least 2-3 minutes before attempting to ignite the lighter. This allows the gas to stabilize and reach room temperature.
