Getting Started

The Zippo windproof lighter is more than a lighter, it’s a genuine American icon. From the unmistakable click to the quality of material you are sure to enjoy your Zippo lighter for many years to come.

To get you started using your Windproof Lighter and to make sure you’re getting the best possible performance from it, we’ll review everything from the contents of the package to important safety tips.

Inside the package, either behind the lighter for clamshelled models, or tucked inside the lid for gift box versions, you’ll find an Instruction Manual. It’s important to read it thoroughly before use.

Your lighter will not be replaced with a new one during the warranty period, but will be set up and working. The warranty does not cover wear and tear on the appearance of the lighter.
Use only Zippo petrol, flint and wick in your Zippo lighter – make sure you do it on time.
When refilling the lighter with gasoline, be sure to clean up any spillage on the side of the lighter to prevent wear on the finish.
When opening and closing the lighter lid, be careful with the lighter hinges.
