To clean these surfaces:

• Create a slight fog by gently breathing on the gilded surface, then wipe delicately.
• Avoid any chemical products to preserve the gold finish.

This simple process helps maintain the shine and elegance of the gilded items.

Tip: Preserve the inside of the lighter

In addition to the external aspect, it is important to keep the internal mechanism in good condition.

Make sure to:

• Use only S.T. Dupont gas to refill your lighter, to avoid residues.
• Clean the burner nozzle with a small brush if necessary.

These simple actions ensure a perfect flame each time you use it.
