Hi There

From memory just turn on the gas and spin/flick the hammer which creates a spark and it should light the light.

Good luck

After fiitting the mantle and before replacing the globe, light the mantle and allow it to burn out. Then replace the globe, turn on the gas and operate the lighter.  Ordinary cigarette lighter flints will fit the lighter if they need to be replaced.

Be careful not to touch the mantle once it has been burnt out or it will fall to pieces.

So you remember them?   
 

We bought a "creme brule" gas torch from Robert Dyas for about 10 pounds - it seems expensive but it is great for lighting candles, lanterns etc.. etc.. and its safe to use - here is an example:

It might be an alternative for you as it gives off a good long flame and keep hands etc.. out of harm

Hope this helps
