Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Old Mill Inn, a bustling pub in the heart of the Cotswolds, was struggling with unreliable ignition methods for their kitchen's gas appliances, causing delays during their popular Sunday lunch service.
"We were tired of matches going damp and cheap lighters failing right when we needed them. This push button flame bar lighter is brilliant – it just works. The long neck means our chefs can light the back burners and the deep oven without leaning over a hot stove. It’s a simple fix that has made a real difference."
David Chen – Head Chef
The switch has eliminated ignition delays entirely, helping the kitchen team get dishes out faster and reducing frustration during peak periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- For safety during shipping, your lighter will arrive empty. You'll need a can of standard butane gas to fill it.
- To fill, turn the lighter upside down and press the nozzle of the gas canister into the filling valve at the base.
- Hold for 5-10 seconds until it feels full. Wait a minute for the gas to settle before first use.
- There's no assembly needed – once filled, it's ready to go!
Keeping It Going
- Refill only with good-quality butane gas (like our T271) to prevent the valve from clogging.
- Regularly wipe the barrel and handle with a damp cloth to remove any kitchen grease or grime.
- Store your lighter in a drawer or on a shelf away from direct heat sources.
- Before use, a quick visual check to ensure the nozzle is clear of any food debris will keep it working perfectly.
