Disposing instructions:
Turn the lighter upside down and you will find three openings, the middle one is the charge/purge valve. With a small tool, e.g. eyeglass screwdriver, depress the charge/purge valve until the compressed gas is no longer present and the hissing noise stops. Repeat as necessary.
Once you are certain that the lighter is completely free of compressed gas, it can be discarded.
