INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the following operational information before using the micro torch.
Important Safeguards:
Read and follow operating instructions and warnings to familiarize
yourself with the torch before lighting or using. Review instructions
and warnings periodically to maintain awareness.
WARNING-CONTENTS UNDER PRESSURE. Do not puncture or
incinerate container. Do not expose to heat or store at
temperatures above 120°F.Keep out of the reach of children.
Contents under pressure are extremely flammable.
After use, wait 2 minutes to confirm the torch is extinguished
and cooled down.
Maintain good ventilation.
Always wear goggles and protective gloves and use proper tools
to handle hot work.

3
Never attempt to modify the torch construction, use unapproved
accessories or fuels, or attempt to repair a damaged torch.
Dropping the micro torch could damage the unit and cause
personal injury.
Follow refilling procedures to avoid serious accidents.
Do not ignite the torch near the face, hands, clothing or
flammable materials.
Please note the butane flame may be barely visible in certain light
conditions.
Allow the micro torch to cool down before storing.
Ensure flame is extinguished and gas is off after each use.
Never attempt to use torch as a cigarette lighter.
Be extra careful when using the torch outdoors on sunny or windy
days.
Wind may carry the torch’s heat back toward you or other areas
not intended to be heated.
Always check that micro torch is being used only on intended
parts and materials. If there is a possibility other parts or materials
have been heated, do not leave them unattended for at least two
hours.
Be aware that the torch tip and accessories get hot during use.
Be sure torch is not pointed in a direction that would cause nearby
objects to ignite.
Heating with this type of device is extremely dangerous, even after
the canister is empty, due to volatile vapor residue.
Always have a fire extinguisher near the torch and work area.
Do not use water to cool down the torch; it will hurt the product.
Store and transport the container in an upright position.

Ignition
NOTE: Upon initial use, the torch requires gas charging
(see Refilling Gas, page 5). Please use high quality
butane (gas used in lighters).
1.
Center the gas adjustment dial between the “-“ and “+” signs.
2. Release the child-resistant latch by using your thumb and sliding it down
and make sure the latch is locked.
3. To light the torch: Hold the torch in your hand and use your thumb to press
and hold down the trigger. (It may take two or three tries before the torch
ignites.) Each try will require sliding down the child-resistant latch, then
pressing trigger again. Flame remains on as long as the trigger is held
down.

To Turn Flame Off
Release your thumb from the trigger, which will cut off the gas supply and
extinguish the flame.
To Adjust the Flame
Use the gas adjustment dial to adjust the intensity of the flame.
Refilling Gas
1. Before filling, make sure the torch is off and the flame is out.
2. Let torch cool 5 minutes before refilling.
3. Refill outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
4. Hold the torch upside down. Insert and press down the gas
cylinder nozzle into the gas filling valve.
5. A complete fill takes about 5–10 seconds.
6. Stop refilling once gas starts to overflow. OVERFILLING WILL
CAUSE THE FLAME TO SPIT.

the torch.

RECIPES
High Lemon Meringue Pie
Mile high to rival the classic in any great American diner.
In our version, the meringue is browned and resembles a perfectly
toasted marshmallow on top of bright, lemony curd.
Makes one 9-inch pie (8 servings)
One flaky, pastry crust, blind baked*
Lemon Filling:
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons unbleached, all-purpose flour
¾ cup water
5 large egg yolks, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch pieces
zest of 2 medium lemons
½cup fresh lemon juice, from about 2 to 3 medium lemons
Meringue Topping:
1 tablespoon cornstarch dissolved in ¼ cup boiling water
6 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1
/8teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 325°F with the rack in the middle position. Have the prebaked
pastry crust ready to fill.
2. To make the lemon filling, combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch and
flour in a medium saucepan. Add the water and whisk until smooth. Bring
the mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook for one minute. Mixture
will thicken.
3. Whisking constantly, add about one half of the hot mixture to the lightly
beaten egg yolks. This is called “tempering the mixture.” Then whisk the
tempered egg yolks into the rest of the hot mixture; continue to cook over
medium heat until thickened and just beginning to bubble, about 3 to 4
minutes.

4. Remove the hot egg mixture from the stove and stir in the butter until fully
incorporated. Stir in the lemon zest and juice.
5. Pour the lemon filling into the prepared pastry crust. Bake until just set,
about 15 minutes. Allow to fully cool to room temperature before topping
with meringue.
6. To make the meringue, place the egg whites, granulated sugar and the
cream of tartar in a mixing bowl; stir until smooth. Place mixing bowl with
egg white mixture over a double boiler and stir constantly with a spotlessly
clean rubber spatula until the mixture is warm and thickened.
7. Using a Cuisinart®Hand Mixer or Cuisinart®Stand Mixer fitted with the
chef’s whisk, whisk the egg white mixture on medium-low speed for one
minute; slowly add in the cornstarch mixture. Gradually increase speed to
high. When medium peaks start to form, add the salt and vanilla and whip
until the egg whites form stiff peaks, about 4 minutes.
8. Top the cooled filling with the meringue, spreading delicately to the edges
and being careful to not deflate. Make decorative swirls and peaks on the
meringue as desired.
9. Using the Cuisinart®Cooking Torch, brown the top of the meringue in
quick and short, back and forth motions. Allow pie to cool and then
refrigerate, uncovered, until chilled, about 2 to 3 hours.
*To blind bake your pastry crust, preheat oven to 350°F with the rack in the
middle position. Press a piece of foil over your rolled-out pastry crust set in a
9-inch pie dish. Fill the foil-covered pie dish with an even layer of pie weights,
baking beans or rice. Bake until the dough is no longer wet underneath the
foil, about 20 minutes. Carefully remove foil and weights, and bake until
golden brown, about 10 minutes. Cool baked pie crust completely to room
temperature before using.
