Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully remove the fuel holder and cover from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Prepare Fuel Can: Ensure you have a standard chafing dish fuel can. Remove any protective caps or seals from the fuel can as per its manufacturer's instructions.
- Insert Fuel Can: Place the fuel can securely into the Winco fuel holder base. Ensure it sits flat and stable.
- Position Holder: Place the assembled fuel holder into the designated slot beneath your chafing dish or food warmer.
Operating Instructions
- Light Fuel: Using a long lighter or match, carefully ignite the fuel can inside the holder.
- Monitor Heat: The fuel holder is designed to maintain consistent temperatures. Monitor the food temperature in your chafing dish.
- Extinguish Flame: To extinguish the flame, carefully place the cover over the fuel holder. The cover will cut off oxygen, causing the flame to go out. Allow the fuel holder and can to cool completely before handling.
- Storage: Once cooled, remove the fuel can (if reusable) and store the fuel holder and cover in a clean, dry place.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: After each use and once completely cooled, clean the fuel holder and cover with warm, soapy water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the stainless steel surface. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
- Stubborn Stains: For stubborn stains, a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner can be used. Follow the cleaner's instructions.
- Storage: Store the clean and dry fuel holder and cover in a safe place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
- Lid is difficult to remove or fit: Ensure the fuel holder and cover are clean and free from any debris or residue. If the issue persists, gently try rotating the lid while applying slight pressure. Avoid forcing the lid, as this may cause damage.
- Unusual odor during use: Ensure the fuel can is properly seated and not leaking. Verify that the fuel can itself is not expired or damaged. Always ensure adequate ventilation in the area of use. If the odor persists and is strong, extinguish the flame immediately and replace the fuel can.
