FAQs
Does this lighter come filled with fuel?
No, Zippo lighters are shipped empty for safety reasons. You must purchase Zippo premium lighter fluid separately.
Can I use any brand of lighter fluid?
While other fluids may work, we strongly recommend using genuine Zippo premium lighter fluid to ensure the best performance and maintain your warranty.
What should I do if my Zippo stops working?
Zippo offers a lifetime guarantee. If your lighter fails, you can send it to their repair clinic, and they will fix it for free.
How often do I need to replace the flint?
It depends on usage, but typically a flint lasts for several weeks of regular use. Keep spares under the felt pad for convenience.
Is the design print durable?
Yes, the 540 Color process is a high-quality application designed to be durable, though like any metal finish, it can scratch if dropped on hard surfaces.
Troubleshooting
The lighter creates a spark but will not light.
The wick may be dry or carbonized. Add more premium fluid, or pull the wick up slightly with pliers and trim the charred end.
The flint wheel is hard to turn.
Check for a worn-out flint that has become lodged or depleted. Replace the flint by unscrewing the brass screw at the bottom of the insert.
The flame height is too low.
Ensure the lighter is sufficiently filled with fluid. If it is full, check that the wick is not trimmed too short or completely covered by the chimney.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your new Zippo for use, pull the insert out of the case and lift the felt pad to expose the cotton packing. Slowly saturate the cotton with genuine Zippo premium lighter fluid, being careful not to overfill. Reinsert the metal casing and wipe away any excess fluid from the lighter or your hands before striking the flint. For continued performance, replace the flint when the spark becomes weak or difficult to ignite, and trim or replace the wick periodically as it carbonizes. Always use genuine Zippo parts to ensure the warranty remains valid and the lighter functions as intended.
