HAND WARMER Insert

How to fill 

  1. Make sure Hand Warmer is cool to touch. Remove Hand Warmer lid, then remove the catalytic burner unit from the base unit by holding it lengthwise (upright with the Zippo logo). Burner unit may have a tight fit. See Figure 1.
  2.  Pour a Zippo lighter fluid into the appropriate six or 12 hour plastic feeling cup provided in the package. Do not spill. See Figure 2. 
  • For six hour warmers fill to line for about six hours of heat. 
  • For 12 hour warmers fill to line for about 12 hours of heat.
  • Do not fill the cup above the line.
  1. Then carefully and slowly pour contents of filling cup into the filling hole on the Hand Warmer body, while maintaining the Hand Warmer in an upright position. See Figure 3. Do not overfill. Overfilling will cause malfunction, risk of injury and fire. 
  2. Keep the Hand Warmer upright and carefully replace a catalytic burner, making sure it is fully seated. 
  3. Carefully wipe off any excess fuel from the Hand Warmer surfaces, and allow access to fuel to wrap your evaporate before igniting. 
  4. Be sure fuel can is closed and there is no spilled fuel in the vicinity before knitting. Fuel is flammable. 
  5. Allow Hand Warmer to rest in the upright position for at least two minutes before igniting to allow fuel to be fully distributed in the absorbent material and become available to the catalytic burner 
  6. Do not lay Hand Warmer down after filling in before ignition. If laid down, liquid fuel can get into the catalytic burner, which may cause a flame to occur upon ignition. If a visible flame develops a must be put out. Usually, any flame can be easily blown out, but use extreme care and caution. If necessary, please Hand Warmer on a fireproof surface and allow the phone to burn out or be extinguished in a safe manner.
  7. Hand Warmer may not operate for as long as stated, following the initial filling and ignition due to break-in process of catalectic burner and observant material.


How to ignite

A. With the lid off the Hand Warmer, hold the base unit upright, with one hand and apply flame to the catalytic burner unit for approximately 10 seconds using the other hand. See Figure 4. Ignition upon first use after initial filling could take longer than expected and require application of flame  more than one time. Flame can come from a Zippo, lighter, utility lighter, or a match. Follow lighting application use instructions. Keep hands and clothing away from any flame. The Hand Warmer heats by catalytic process. There is no flame present after ignition. Presence of flame upon ignition indicates overfilling. Put flame out and allow access fuel to evaporate before attempting reignition.

B. After flameless ignition has been confirmed, replace hand, warmer lid, then placed warmer into the provided supplied protective fabric back. See Figure 5. The Hand Warmer must always be placed in the supply protective fabric bag to prevent overheating. Your Zippo Hand Warmer will now provide comfortable warmth for hours. After ignition, he is provided by a catalytic process without flame.

C. Once ignited, there is no safe way to stop the heating action. If necessary, place the Hand Warmer in the supplied protective fabric back in place on a fireproof surface until the fuel is exhausted in the Hand Warmer is cool to the touch.

Catalytic burner is expendable. Burner lasts for many uses depending on how it is used and duration of use. Replace periodically. It is not warranted
