Lighting Your Zippo Hand Warmer
Lighting the Zippo Hand Warmer
- Fill your hand warmer with genuine Zippo lighter fluid
- With the hand warmer cover closed, hold the base unit upright with one hand and light the catalytic burner unit with the other hand for approximately 10 seconds. Ignition the first time it is used after filling may take slightly longer than expected, and the flame may need to be relit several times. The flame can come from a Zippo lighter, a Zippo stick lighter, or a match. Follow the lighter's instructions for use. Keep hands and clothing at a safe distance from the flame. The hand warmer heats using a catalytic process. There is no flame after ignition. The presence of a flame after ignition indicates overfilling. Extinguish the flame and allow excess fuel to evaporate before attempting to relight the device.
- Once the flameless ignition has taken place, replace the hand warmer cover and place the hand warmer in the included protective pouch. The hand warmer should always be placed in the included fabric protective pouch to prevent overheating. Your Zippo hand warmer now provides hours of pleasant warmth. After ignition, heat is produced without a flame using a catalytic process.
- Once lit, there is no way to stop the heating. If necessary, place the hand warmer in the included protective pouch and place it on a fireproof surface until the fuel is exhausted and the hand warmer feels cool.
