To bleed a lighter, ensure it's completely turned off and cooled down. Hold the lighter upside down, and use a small screwdriver or a similar tool to press the refill valve found at the bottom. You'll hear a hissing sound as the trapped air and remaining fuel escape. Keep pressing until the hissing stops, indicating it's fully bled. This process is crucial for removing air pockets that can prevent the lighter from refilling properly, ensuring optimal performance.
