DOES MY FEUERHAND
HURRICANE LANTERN LEAK?
Please note that the cold-blast lantern is not a closed system. Improper
handling can lead to leakage. Please read this checklist in order to verify
why your Feuerhand lantern is leaking:
- • Avoid overfilling: We recommend a filling level of max. 300 mL (up to the first bulge of the tank). Please see the maximum tank capacity in this user manual.
• Once the lantern is filled, place or hang it in a vertical position: The drawing shows that fuel can leak out when it sloshes around in the lantern. Do not move your lantern once it is filled! Remove the fuel completely before transporting the lantern.
• Avoid temperature changes: Do not expose your lantern to major temperature changes for the oil expands and starts to spread. Therefore, always fill your lantern according to the current purpose.
• Turn down the wick properly: If the wick is turned down incorrectly after the lantern has cooled down, the fuel moves on due to the capillary effect and leaks out of the tank.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Feuerhand cold blast lantern is made of galvanized steel, which makes it resistant to corrosion. In addition, the colored models are powder-coated. The heat-resistant and shockproof glass perfectly protects the flame from external factors.

- Width: 15.5 cm
- Weight powder-coated models: 495 g
- Weight zinc-plated model: 480 g
- Tank capacity: max. 340 mL
- Burning duration: approx. 20 hours
HOW IT WORKS
In a cold blast lantern, fresh air circulates between the inside and the
outside of the chimney and is warmed up through the pipe system. Fresh air
goes through the side pi-eces, arrives in the burner and supplies the flame
with enough oxygen for combustion. The hot air from the combustion escapes
through the chimney.

HOW TO USE
-
FILL WITH FUEL
Open the tank lid and fill the tank of the lantern with lamp oil. Fill with fuel just to the bulge (see marking on figure 1).
Before the first use, the wick needs to
soak in fuel. Therefore, wait for about 20 minutes after adding fuel to the
lantern before lighting it. -
LIGHTING THE LANTERN
Lift the glass cylinder of the lantern by pressing the handle on the left side and hooking it in the notch provided. Light the wick, which should stick out of the burner by about 1 to 2 mm, with a lighter or a match. As soon as the wick burns, slowly replace the glass by means of the respective handle. (Figure 2)
-
ADJUSTING THE WICK
You can adjust the size of the flame by turning the rotating handle of the burner. (Figure 3)
The flame should not flicker or emit soot. The
recommended size of the flame is between 1.5 to 2 cm. The flame becomes
extinct when the wick is turned downwards. Make sure the flame has really
stopped burning by turning the wick upwards again. Advice: Do not turn the
wick down too far, otherwise it could lose its grip in the burner.
CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
- Remove the carbonized part of the wick by cutting it neatly and without fraying.
- Remove the soot from the glass after use as required.
- Protect the Feuerhand lantern from humidity.
CLEANING THE GLASS
The chimney must be lifted up to clean the glass. To lift it up, place your
fingers on the carrying handle and draw the lifting eyelet upwards with your
thumb. (Figure 4)
The glass can now be put on the side in its
wire support and removed from its support. (Figure 5)
CHANGING THE WICK
When the glass is lifted, turn the rotating handle of the burner clockwise and
remove the entire component. (Figure 6)
Remove the old wick and draw the new wick
through the opening by turning the rotating handle next to the burner. Do not
forget that the new wick needs to soak in the fuel for about 20 minutes. Light
the lamp afterward.
STORAGE
Do not leave the Feuerhand Baby Special 276 unprotected outdoors. Always store
it in a dry place. Remove the lamp oil completely before storing the lantern.
