Before You Begin
* Safety First: Lighter fluid is flammable. Work in a well-ventilated area, away from open flames.
* Right Fuel: Use only Dupont lighter fluid, as other fluids can damage the lighter.
* Tools: You'll need the Dupont filling bottle and a clean cloth.
Filling Instructions
1. Locate the Filling Valve: On the bottom of your Dupont lighter, you'll find a small metal valve (usually with a tiny hole).
2. Insert the Filling Bottle: Align the filling bottle's nozzle with the valve and gently press down.
3. Fill Slowly: Avoid overfilling. The lighter should fill quickly. You'll hear a hissing sound as the fluid enters.
4. Stop When Full: Remove the filling bottle when the lighter feels full, or the hissing sound stops.
5. Wipe Excess: Use a clean cloth to wipe any excess fluid from the lighter.
Additional Tips
* Avoid Overfilling: Overfilling can damage the lighter and cause leaks.
* Check for Leaks: After filling, gently shake the lighter. If you hear any fluid sloshing around, it's overfilled.
* Ventilation: Always ensure the lighter is completely empty before refilling. Never fill a lighter in a confined space.
* Storage: Keep the lighter upright when not in use to prevent leaks.
Remember: Follow the instructions provided with your specific S.T. Dupont lighter model. If you're unsure, it's best to contact a Dupont customer service representative for assistance.
