CHAFING DISH INSTRUCTIONS (ENGLISH)
Chafing Dish Instructions (English)
  • Before using chafing dish, hand-wash with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.

  • Always operate chafing dish on a level, sturdy table or other flat, stable surface.

  • Keep chafing dish away from children, and always store fuel burners in a child-safe place.

  • Always make sure water and food pans are placed correctly and fit securely on the stand.

  • Set water pan into base and fill water level between 1 and 1.5 inches deep.

  • Do not allow water to exceed 1.5 inches deep.

  • Water may be preheated for faster operation.

  • Periodically check water level, as water will evaporate during operation.
  • Place fuel burners in stand and use a match or long-tipped lighter to light at center hole.

  • Keep fuel burner caps handy while chafing dish is in use, so flame can be extinguished when cooking/heating is complete.

  • For best heat efficiency, keep lid on food pan.

  • Do not move or tip fuel burners and/or stand once fuel burners are lit.

  • The food pan is safe for preheating food in oven at temperatures up to 390°F (198°C) without lid. However, prolonged oven use at high temperatures may cause discoloration.

  • Always use a hot pad or oven mitt when handling hot parts.

  • Use caution when removing lid by tilting, so steam is directed away from you.
CAUTION: TO AVOID INJURY OR SPILLS, DO NOT MOVE OR CARRY THE STAND WHILE THE CHAFING DISH IS FULL OR FUEL BURNERS ARE LIT.
