| C) Safety Precautions � Ensure that no spirit or kerosene is placed near to the pressure lamp when lighting. � No kerosene should be stored in the kerosene container when the pressure lamp is under storage for a long time. � No hurricane lamps are allowed in the tents. � Do not leave the hurricane lamp out in the rain. � Do not use methylated spirit to clean the glass chimney even though it is easier to remove the soot with it. Use newspaper to clean the glass chimney instead. � Ensure that the glass chamber (when hot) does not come into contact with the water. � Do not turn the regulator down too quickly if you wish to distinguish the hurricane lamp by lowering the wick into the wick holder. D) Pre-lighting Checks � Ensure that there is sufficient kerosene in the kerosene container. � Remove the wick holder to check the wick length. Ensure that the wick is long enough to absorb the kerosene. � Turn the regulator clockwise until the wick can be seen from the top of the wick holder. E) Maintenance � Clean the lamp after used. � Clean the glass chimney periodically to remove the soot by combustion. � Ensure that there is no kerosene/ methylated spirit inside the lamp after used.
