Installation instructions for Soft Inverted Mantles
- Turn off gas supply to the lamp and allow it to cool. Ensure used mantle ash is removed and all glass panes are clean.
- Remove old mantle rings from burner tips.
- Carefully remove each mantle from the pack, insert ceramic ring onto burner nozzle and twist 1/4 turn. Gently pull down the mantle fabric for proper shaping.
- Pre-burn the mantles by lighting them WITH THE GAS STILL TURNED OFF.
- DO NOT TOUCH MANTLE after pre-burning as they are very FRAGILE.
- Simultaneously, turn on the gas (very slowly) and ignite the mantle.
- Mantles will shape up completely (auto form).
Annotation: Each mantle differs in shape, which is normal. The most common cause of mantle failure occurs due to the slightest vibration or shocks.
