5. Operating Instructions

Your VEVOR Chafing Dish is designed to keep food warm or cold, making it versatile for various events.

5.1. Keeping Food Warm

1. Add Hot Water: Pour hot water into the water pan, ensuring it does not overflow. The water pan acts as a buffer to distribute heat evenly and prevent food from burning.

5.2. Keeping Food Cold

For keeping food cold, simply add ice cubes to the water pan instead of hot water. This will help maintain a cool temperature for salads, fruits, and other chilled items.
