Lighting.
To light the lantern, lift the glass with the lever, adjust
the wick so that a short piece (1/2cm) is visible and light
with a match or lighter.
Lower the glass by releasing the lever and adjust the wick
so that the flame is steady and not too high. (If it’s too
high, you’ll get black smoke from the chimney at the top and
the glass will soot up.)
Extinguishing.
To extinguish, turn the wick down so that flame is reduced,
lift the glass and blow it out.
Maintenance.
To replace the wick: Make sure the lantern has cooled down.
Lift the chimney (there is a spring forcing it down onto the
glass) and tilt the glass away. You can now remove the small
dome with the wick and wick adjustment handle by turning it
a little. Remove the old wick and feed a new wick in,
turning the wick adjustment handle until the wick is
visible above the small dome. To assemble, re-attach the
small dome to the body, ensuring it is seated squarely.
Return the glass to an upright position and make sure the
chimney is sat snugly back on top.
To replace the glass: Make sure the lantern has cooled down.
Lift the chimney (there is a spring forcing it down onto the
glass) and tilt the glass away. The wires around the glass
can be eased away and the old glass removed. Refitting is
just a reversal of the steps.
