How to clean your fountain pen: 

-  Remove the cartridge or converter.

- Fill the syringe with clear, cold or lukewarm water, place the end of the hose adapter on the piercing pin and carefully press the contents of the syringe through the ink feed and nib. 

- Draw up approx. 5 ml fountain pen cleaner with the syringe, place the hose adapter on the piercing pin again and let the contents of the syringe flow slowly through the nib assembly. Leave the cleaning fluid to soak in for 5 minutes.
