USEFUL TIPS:
• Allow 10 to 30 minutes, depending upon
the size of the area, for product to take effect.
• This product works best in outdoor areas
where there is minimal air movement, such
as yards and outdoor campsites.
• Provides a maximum of 4 hours mosquito
repellency per mat.
• Original, Earth Scent and Max Life Thermacell
refill mats are effective in Thermacell mosquito
repellent devices.
• Mats turn from pale blue to white when
mosquito repellent has been used up and
needs to be replaced.
• Some visible vapor will appear during use;
this is normal.

a larger area.

To Use the Mosquito Repellent:
1 Insert repellent mat: Remove cover from
torch. Remove one Thermacell®Mosquito Repellent
mat from wrapper. Insert mat under grill.
2 Insert Thermacell Butane
Cartridge: Rotate Torch
globe so that arrow points
to “OPEN” and remove
globe from base (A).
Remove Thermacell
cartridge cap and insert
cartridge into opening
between battery
compartments (B). Turn
cartridge clockwise until it
stops. Replace globe onto
base, turning until arrow
points to “CLOSE” (C).
3 Turn On: Rotate torch collar
to the right until indicator line
points to “ON”. The gas will
start to flow. Wait 5 to 10
seconds then rotate torch
collar until indicator line
points to “START” and you
hear a clicking sound. To
verify that the mosquito
repellent has been activated,
look for an orange glow in the
oval view hole located on the
torch collar to the right of the
“START” button. Place torch
on pole or lantern stand.
4 Turn Off: When finished
using, rotate the torch collar
to the left until the indicator
line points to “OFF.” Replace
protective cover by inserting
cover tab into the small oval
cutout on torch top. You may
replace cover even if grill is
still warm. Replacing cover on
torch ensures product is shut
off and protects torch from rain, dirt and debris.
Torch cannot be turned on when protective cover is
in place. Leave torch outside or store.
5 To Replace a Mat: When the mat turns white, it is
time to replace it. When replacing the mat, make
sure indicator line is in the “OFF” position and allow
grill to cool. Push the used mat out by inserting a
fresh mat.
Troubleshooting:
If torch does not turn on, verify that there is no
orange glow in the view hole. If there is no
orange glow, rotate indicator line back to the
“ON” position and repeat rotation to the
“START” position two to three times in rapid
succession. If there is still no orange glow
visible in the view hole, make sure the cartridge
is completely screwed into place. Also check
the amount of fuel in the cartridge. If cartridge
is empty or near empty, remove cartridge and
replace with a new Thermacell® cartridge.
Then repeat step 3.
To Use the Light:
1 Remove lantern from torch
pole or lantern stand. Rotate
torch base so that arrow
points to “OPEN” and pull
base from globe. In the
globe, insert 4 AAA batteries
(not included) in the battery
compartments according to
the “+ -” signs. The batteries power LED lights
and will provide torch light for a maximum of 50
hours.
2 Locate the black button on the side of the torch.
Push button to turn light on and off. If torch light
does not turn on, check batteries.
3 Replace base, turning until arrow points to
“CLOSE”. Place torch on pole or lantern stand.
