FAQs
My hand warmer isn't getting hot enough. What should I do?
- Carefully check the wick, taking care not to burn your hands. It should be firmly in place.

- Make sure there is enough fuel in the hand warmer. The fuel evaporates even when the hand warmer is not in use.

How can I prevent my hand warmer from overheating?
