For optimal performance, use only genuine Zippo lighter fluid.

1. Remove the inner unit from the lighter case.
2. Lift the felt pad on the bottom of the inner unit to expose the packing material.

4. Insert the inner unit back into the lighter case.
5. Wipe off any excess fluid from the lighter and your hands before igniting. Ensure the fluid container is closed and stored away from the lighter.

A new flint is required when the lighter fails to produce a spark.

1. Remove the inner unit from the lighter case.
2. Unscrew the flint spring from the bottom of the inner unit using a small screwdriver or the edge of the lighter lid.
3. Carefully remove the old flint (if any) and the flint spring.
4. Insert a new Zippo flint into the empty flint tube.
5. Replace the flint spring and screw it in tightly. Do not overtighten.
6. Insert the inner unit back into the lighter case.
