FAQs

What type of fuel should I use?

This lantern is designed to be used with paraffin fuel only.

How long does the fuel last?

Fuel duration depends on the flame setting. A lower setting (e.g., 0.5cm-1cm) will last longer than a higher setting (e.g., 2cm-2.5cm).

How often should I trim the wick?

It is recommended to trim the wick periodically, especially if you notice an uneven flame or excessive smoking. Check it before each use.

Can I use this lantern indoors?

While it can be used indoors, extreme caution is advised due to the open flame and potential for carbon monoxide production. Ensure adequate ventilation and never leave it unattended.

What are the dimensions of the lantern?

Specific dimensions are not provided in the product information, but it is designed to be a portable hurricane lantern.

Does it come with fuel?

No, the paraffin fuel must be purchased separately.

What is the warranty period?

Warranty information is not specified in the product details.

Troubleshooting

Lantern will not light

Ensure the wick is saturated with paraffin. Check that the flame adjustment is open. Verify there is sufficient fuel in the reservoir.

Flickering or uneven flame

Trim the wick to ensure it is even. Check for any drafts or air currents around the lantern. Ensure the wick is properly seated and saturated.

Lantern produces excessive smoke

The wick may be too high; adjust it to a lower setting. Ensure the wick is trimmed evenly. Use high-quality paraffin fuel.

Ensure the adjustment mechanism is clean and free of debris. Gently operate the mechanism; do not force it.
