Lantern Mantle Operation and Handling Instructions
1. Position the Mantle Correctly:
Ensure the opening of the lantern mantle is positioned over the gas outlet. Slide the mantle onto the outlet so that it fits snugly and securely.

2. Carbonization Process (First Use):
When using the lantern mantle for the first time, it needs to undergo a carbonization process.
Remove the lantern cover before beginning the carbonization.
Install the mantle properly, ensuring it is shaped correctly, as this will affect the carbonization results.
During carbonization, ensure that the mantle is positioned well so that the process works effectively.

3. Connect the Gas Canister:
After the mantle is securely installed, connect the gas canister to the lantern.

4. Adjust the Gas Flow and Ignite:
Slowly rotate the gas flow valve and listen for the sound of the gas being released.
Once you hear the gas flow, press the ignition button to ignite the mantle.
The mantle should ignite with a soft flame.
5. Carbonization Process:
When carbonizing the mantle, avoid using too much gas flow. A low flame is sufficient to carbonize the mantle.
Burn for a few seconds (around 30 seconds) while the mantle gradually turns white. Once it is fully carbonized, you can turn off the gas .
After turning it off, wait for the mantle to cool, and then ignite again to complete the carbonization process. Note: The carbonization process is essential for the mantle's proper functionality, as it makes the mantle more durable and capable of producing bright light.

Important Note:
After carbonization, the mantle becomes very fragile. If it is accidentally touched, it may break easily.
Once broken, the mantle must be replaced and re-carbonized.
Handle the mantle carefully during transport and use, and avoid sharp impacts or excessive vibrations.
While using the lantern outdoors, make sure flying insects do not make contact with the flame, as they could damage the mantle.

6. Post-Carbonization:
After carbonization, the mantle will turn white and may shrink slightly in size.
This is a normal part of the carbonization process.

7. Reattach the Lantern Cover:
Once the mantle has been carbonized, carefully reinstall the lantern cover and the lantern is ready for use.

8. Gas Flow Adjustment:
When using the lantern, ensure that the gas flow is not set to a high level, as too much gas flow could cause an uncontrolled flame. A moderate gas flow will provide optimal lighting without excessive flare-ups.

Additional Tips for Maintenance and Longevity:
The lantern mantle will last longer with proper care. Always handle the mantle gently and avoid unnecessary impacts or dropping.
If the mantle remains intact and is properly maintained, it can be used for a long time. Proper storage and care will significantly improve the mantle's lifespan.
