MANTEL INSTALLATION
Step 1. With the lantern attached to the LP gas
cylinder, remove the carry handle and top cover and
gently remove the lantern glass and place in a safe
location to avoid this being broken.
Step 2. Slip the open end of the mantel over the
burner tube and then tighten.
PRE-CONDITION PROCESS
This process is important as it prepares the mantel for
the rst time use by converting the cloth bers to leave a
natural source chemical ash that when heated produces
a bright incandescent light.
You should always light the mantle with a match and let
them burn to ash before lighting the lantern.
DO NOT have the gas turned on for this process as this
can cause a mantle to tear or break.
It is recommended that this process is carried out for
both manual or piezo ignition lanterns.
