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 check list in order to verify
why your Feuerhand lantern is leaking:
• Avoid overfi lling: We recommend a fi lling
level of max. 300 mL (up to the fi rst bulge
of the tank). Please see the maximum tank
capacity in this user manual.
• Once the lantern is fi lled, 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 fi lled! Remove the fuel
completely before transporting the lantern.
• Avoid temperature changes: Do not ex-
pose your lantern to major temperature
changes for the oil expands and starts to
spread. Therefore, always fi ll 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
capillary effect and leaks out of the tank.

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
fl ame with enough oxygen for combustion.
The hot air from the combustion escapes
through the chimney.
