Chafing Dish Instructions

[Spanish instructions]

• 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 burners 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 even mitt when handling hot parts.
• Use caution when removing lid by tilting, so steam is directed away from you.
