Instructions on lighting say, slowly open control valve. Immediately holding a lighed match or lighter at burner ring. It doesn't say how far to open.

Fairly simple and safe. There is no how far. If you are that unfamiliar with gas fire units, ask for help from someone that owns a gas grill or something. Always - Light fire first, then turn on gas only a little bit untill it lights. Adjust to choice level of flame. REMEMBER- FIRE FIRST- GAS ON SECOND.

You can open it all the way or half way. If you open it all the way, you will hear the propane coming out, and when you light it, a big flame ignites, just like a tiger torch. There are a lot of BTU's when it is open all the way.

Sound like ignitor is not creating any spark for the butane to light. I would consider returning it.

No match necessary. You fill it with fluid then press the red button on the back to ignite it. There is a slide on the side to adjust the flames too

It's not that hard to light. The whole bottom round knob is the button. If nothing else, pressing it downward on a flat surface does the same as pressing it with a thumb. When lighting it, there is a black slider that must be pushed up to the "on" position first. Then the flame type slider on the side must be set to "jet". Then pushing in on the bottom will light it. This is all described in the directions of use.

You have to flick the lever under the button (flick to the left) and then push the ignitor button (obviously you have to fill it with butane first - I don't recall if it comes fully loaded - but I do not think it does!)

I've used all the brands, it's the regulator twist at the bottom of tank, you must adjust it. All the brands of fuel has worked for me. THe key is the regulator. If it won't light, then the pressure is just too high, adjust the twist, then it will work nicely. I like this lighter and it's worked well for me and DHs works nicely too. The product description doesn't tell you about this feature, I had to figure it out by looking at lighter under a 15x magnifier. LOL, then I found the regulator twist! I emailed the seller, but they don't seem to want to add this to the description. Bad seller, good lighter!

Have you tried turning the valve slowly? Perhaps too much gas is being supplied before the flame can light it.

http://www.bonjourproducts.com/cs_main.html product site where you might get cust serv to send you the instructions.On the back of the unit is a big red button and a small "lever?" thing. Push the lever thing down until it clicks and then push the big red button. The lever is the safety and the big red button turns the gas on spark the gas into a flame.The slide on the left of the unit is a lock. AFTER you light it you can slide this back towards you to lock the flame on. The other slide on the right adjusts size of the flame.

Yes I have the same issue. You have to it ignite then move it to regular(hi-lo) hopefully it will stay lit. I have to do it several times for I can never make it work

After you fill the unit with lighter fluid put the small cap back on. Then hold a flame to that part for about 1 min. Replace the lid and put in bag. It should stay warm for many hours. I hope this was of help. It took me a bit to understand how to work it.

You can try training on gas the hold match to starter then slowly turn on regulator dial keep turning until flame ilights.

The red button is only to light it, hold the button down until lit, a few seconds after it is lit, then let the button out. It is a thermal couple to make sure there is a flame.

Tip Take burner head off, fill with fluid lightly dampen burner with fluid replace burner then light. Good luck. Mine works great.

No problem lighting heater. Hold button down for about 10 seconds, release and depress button again. Residual gas from first press should help firing it right up.

Sorry, I hit the answer bar before I finished. Remove the line that feeds the pilot light, with a compressor, blow out the line and the nozzle one end of that line. Make sure to tighten the compression nuts (very tight) and snoopTest both ends. Bend the 45o where the gas of pilot comes out so that it covers the very tip of the thermo coupler. Then preheat the thermo coupler with a torch or a butane lighter. Adjust the pilot flame to middle of the adjustment, then it should light. Last, readjust the pilot light lower.

hold the lighter to the wick for a short time. there is no flame nor is there a red glow. it will start warming up fairly quickly. if it doesn't, make sure you filled it enough and then hold a lighter under the wick longer. Also put the top back on so you can feel if it is heating up.

I found if you look at the cloth-area on the burner in a dark area, you will see a low red-glow. Also, if you feel the lighter has been lit; it should begin heating up in a 1-minute. I used a scripto lighter to light my Zippo's; holding the flame to the burner for 20 to 30-seconds.
