S.T. Dupont Maintenance Kit for the Ligne 2 Lighter (088148V)

The S.T. Dupont Ligne 2 Lighter Maintenance Kit is a care kit and contains:

1 x fabric pouch for storing the kit
1 x brush
1 x pack of flints
1 x 30ml bottle of gas
1 x lighter tool for changing the flint
1 x cleaning cloth


Step 1:

To make your S.T. Dupont lighter look as good as new, polish it with a soft cloth.
Never use a solvent-based polish!
Use a special silver-cleaning cloth for all silver-plated parts, which can be found in the accessory set.
Clean all natural lacquer surfaces, such as spectacle lenses or jewellery, by breathing on them and wiping them with a soft cloth. The lacquer is virtually impermeable to acid and water. It is exceptionally hard and highly resistant to impact, wear and scratches.
Use the silk brush to clean the metal parts of your lighter, particularly the slide.


Step 2:

Refilling the lighter:
Only use S.T. Dupont gas to refill your lighter.
Soft or yellow flame.
For lighters that require yellow gas cartridges. 1. Hold the lighter vertically, pointing downwards
2. Loosen screw A
3. Empty the tank by pressing the valve head (e.g. using a ballpoint pen refill)
4. Screw the gas cartridge very tightly, upside down, into the base of the filling valve. Press the cartridge down gently for five seconds to ensure the lighter is filled correctly.
Repeat this process twice. Once this process is complete, unscrew the gas cartridge quickly.


Carry out this work away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other sources of ignition.

Please note:

For lighters that are refilled with blue or red gas cartridges, empty the tank and place the cartridge directly into the filling valve. Press it gently against the base, hold for five seconds and repeat the process.
These gas cartridges can be used multiple times to refill the tank.

Step 3:

The ignition quality depends on the setting. If your lighter isn’t burning properly, adjust the setting using the mechanism at the bottom of your lighter.

ADJUSTING THE FLAME

The adjustment screw is located at the base of the lighter. To increase the flame, turn the screw towards the + mark.
To reduce the flame, turn the screw towards the ‘-’ mark.
Remember, the larger the flame, the faster the gas is used up. Gas escapes as long as the lid is open.


We would like to inform you that, from 1 April 2017, all new S.T. Dupont lighters will be dispatched without gas.

Please note that a user guide in 10 languages, attached here, is included in the product packaging to explain the process of the first refill.

Step 4:

Your lighter contains one flint in use and one spare.
1- To change the flint: Press down on pin D with your fingernail; the slide will slide back.
2- Gently push the slide G back to remove it from the lighter. (except for Ligne 1)
3- Remove the spare flint from its compartment (A) by turning the lighter upside down. Please hold the friction wheel (M) in place with one finger whilst doing so.
4- Place the flint in the channel and press its end against the friction wheel.


Pin D is returned to its original position.
To make it easier for you, you can use the tool included in the set to press pin D down. To reinsert the slide, please use the concave side of the tool.
