I hope no one will mind. The division of property is called "repair, restoration, maintenance," but about the service turns out nothing. So here goes:

1. Use the "brand" of gasoline, wicks and flints, bought in proven / reliable places. (Gasoline recommend: Ronsonol, Zippo, Royal, silicon - Zippo).

2. Do not pour gasoline. The filler should not be in it "float."

3. The filler should not be "packed" into the reservoir - leave a little free space.

4. Check the condition of the wick, if necessary, clean / cut the end / pull or replace it.

5. To clean the soot on the walls of the good is like gasoline (with any octane). Clean possible matches with wool or cotton buds.

6. Embossing felts lighters annually. You can wash it with clean running water, dry and put back or put a new (medical cotton wool, for example).

7. Wheel of salted finger. Once a month is good, wipe it with alcohol.

8. Clean the wheel may be small metal brush or a simple sewing needle. If you clean a needle, you have to "pass" of each groove in the wheels - it napryazhno, but every six months it is possible, at your leisure.

9. If the diameter of the flint less than or equal to the diameter of the tube - replace it.

10. If you use poor-quality gasoline and adjust the wick napolnitel.Zazhigalku can cook in boiling water to the remains of impurities from the fuel left. (Bon appetit!)

This Ultrasonic generally insidious thing. My wife once cleaned there vintage brooches, so one Popper glue straight almost bubbles. On enamel, he also acts sometimes not very good, it can darken to cracks (usually old enamel and so covered with small cracks, and so it is dangerous for them). In general, I try to put it is now only the bare metal, plastics nikaikh, no cover.

So maybe easier, acetone or solvent try. Metal will not spoil and will remove the varnish.
