Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your lighter, remove the interior metal insert from the outer case and fill the cotton packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid until saturated. Do not overfill. Ensure that only genuine Zippo flints, wicks, and fluid are used, as third-party components may compromise the lighter's functionality. For care, keep the exterior clean by wiping it with a soft cloth. If the wick becomes black or carbonized, use pliers to pull it slightly upward and trim the charred end with scissors, ensuring the wick remains roughly even with the height of the chimney. Store your lighter in a cool, dry place when not in use.
