Not usually, mine did but very little, make sure you are pushing the safety down on the end of the push button, you have to release it each time

No it should be empty as if full it would be hazardous material and have to be shipped differently, more costly also

it will arrive to you empty, you can purchase butane at any hardware store. Hope this helps you

No, it does not come filled with butane. You need to buy a can of butane and fill it up from the hole in the bottom of the torch (once you take the stand off the bottom).

You do have to fill 1st. I used ronson butane you should find in any drugstore. Also start with lowest setting using black lever.

Not really. Seemed to be working fine. As I recalled I just had added more water but it would not start

Mine came through a dealer, and so was serviced. Direct shipments often arrive with a partial fill that has to be completed before first used. There should be instructions on what to do, depending on your shipment option. Always check the level before using.

Partial is fine. We fill ours and then use it until the little "gauge" on the front shows it is empty.

I found with mine that it takes a long time when you first start it because there is no gas in the line. Hold it and spark it for 2 min.

It's not entirely empty. Press the top button- holding it for a few seconds- then let go. It will start the printing. It's usually good for another several photo prints before it tells you again to replace the tank. Do it or it won't print. You can damage a printer by not replacing the tanks at this point! It will suck air instead of ink and you'll need to RESET it or take it to a service center. There is info on youtube about many aspects of printing.

It is new. To start it do not follow the instructions or it floods. If it's warm out, just try cranking it or maybe one pump of the gas not the 5 recommended.

The instructions that come with it say to charge it first. I'm sure it may have some charge when it arrives, but probably not full.

It could be an issue with the float that indicates whether or not the unit is full. Honestly the float system is pretty cheap, but working on that might fix your problem.

I have only gotten one so far and it was about that full, I figured due to settling. Call the company to make sure - they are very helpful.

Hi Jini, have you filled the butane holders with fuel? They do not arrive full.

Hello, it has been a while. I have another machine now. But are you taking about the Orange piece that is in the drip tray? I believe it tells you have full the tray is getting. I don't remember any other Orange piece. Hope it helps. -Mike

All the Soda Stream Cylinders should be filled if you ordered it or if you bought it at a store. The only way I know it might be empty is if you are purchasing from a person.

I believe it shipped with a 4ml starter tank. I used that up and replaced it with the bigger one.

You pull a cord to start it. It is hard for my 10 yr old grandson to start so my husband has to start it for him.
