Mini CC Instructions-4
Flame Atmospheres:
The Mini CC has a very unique flame. Please note that based on the operator’s prior burner experience, the
flame settings may not look or sound as expected. The unique flame properties of the torch demonstrate
superior performance. Refer to the illustrations below to achieve the desired flame atmospheres.
Neutral Reducing Oxidizing
Soft Glass: (COE 90 and higher)
For use with soft glass, Carlisle recommends a candle or focal length of 3/8”. On the Neutral setting, this
will present a flame that is very hot and provides radiant heat around the flame. This radiant heat lessens
the frequency of glass fractures due to temperature changes while moving in and out of the flame.
Hard Glass (aka Borosilicate COE 33):
For use with hard glass, Carlisle recommends a candle or focal length of 7/8”. Please note that the Neutral
setting of this flame will produce orange tips on the candles. However, as long as the candles are all the
same length, this should not produce reduction on borosilicate colors.
Oxygen Use:
Once a Neutral flame is achieved, adding more oxygen will produce the Oxidizing flame. An oxidizing
flame will make a more narrow flame pattern that can be used for more delicate work. It is important to
note that the extra oxygen also has a cooling effect in the flame and will lower the heat potential.
