Keep the cartridge (3) upright when fitting it to the
valve.
4.3
Place the valve squarely on top of the cartridge (as
shown in fig .2).

Gently screw the cartridge into the valve until it
meets the O-ring of the valve. Be careful not to fit
the cartridge cross threaded. Screw handtight
only. Do not overtighten to avoid damaging
the cartridge valve.

do so outdoors. Do not check for leaks with an
open flame. Use soapy water or the like, applied

Pre-burning the mantle before use: Remove the
mesh basket (4) by turning it counter-clockwise
and lifting it up. Place the large hole of the mantle
(6) on the lower grooves (7) at the burner tube (5),
then convey the igniter electrode tip smoothly to
the inside of the mantle. Finally place the small hole
of the mantle on the upper groove on the burner
tube(5). Make sure that the mantle is uniformly
threaded around the whole burner tube. Light the
mantle with a match or lighter and let it burn until
there is only a white "skeleton" left.
4.7
When the mantle has been fully pre-burnt turn
on the control knob (2) and ignite the burner by
pushing the trigger (8) downwards. Keep it burning
at full power for about 30 seconds. Turn the lantern
off and then replace the lantern mesh basket (4)
and turn it clockwise until a click is heard.

combustion and also lower the light output from
the lantern. Spare mantles are available from your
local dealer.

Suspension cable for transport. When suspending
the lantern from the ceiling or the like, make sure
that the distance to combustible material
is at least 500 mm. OTHERWISE a fire may
break out.

hed and no other flame is nearby. Take the unit
outdoors, and away from other people. Unscrew
the cartridge from the valve and replace the old

check the O-ring in the appliance. If it is cracked
or worn, replace it. Apply the valve thread squarely
to the cartridge and screw it hand tight only as
decribed in section 4. Avoid cross threading.
