Zippo Handwarmer 101 Start Off

I've realized that there are NO websites for detailed zippo handwarmer info on how to use it. So here you go:
     1) How to turn on your Zippo Handwarmer.
First, take your filling cup (the plastic thing with the beak) and fill it up to the desired amout (half way for 6 hours, full for 12 hours).
Then, take of the main cap of the handwarmer, take off the burner. Touch the beak onto the cotton and SLOWLY pour the fluid into the container. Once you are finished, put the burner on, light it with your zippo for about 10 seconds, put the cap on and VOILA!
     2)How to turn off your Zippo Handwarmer.
If you wish to turn off your zippo handwarmer before the fluid is finished, do as following:
BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DOING THE FOLLOWING STEPS. YOU CAN BURN YOURSELF IF YOU DON'T PAY ATTENTION.
Take your cap off. Be very careful, because it can be very hot. If it is too hot, use the felt pouch as a glove.
Then, using either the edge of the cap or lid of a Zippo lighter, pry off the burner, and let it drop (GENTLY) onto a fire proof surface. It cools off very quickly, so just a couple of minutes should do before touching it safely. Replace the burner, put the cap on, and your Zippo Handwarmer is ready to be used again.

  1. Will the fuel evaporate after the catalytic burner is extinguished and put back on?
