Setup Instructions

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Assemble the Frame: Unfold the stainless steel frame (legs) and ensure it is stable on a flat, heat-resistant surface. The frame is designed to be foldable for compact storage.

   

3. Place Water Pan: Position the large water pan securely into the assembled frame.
4. Add Water: Pour hot water into the water pan. Ensure the water level is sufficient to create steam but does not overflow when the food pan is inserted. Approximately 1-2 inches is usually adequate.
5. Insert Fuel Holder Tray: Place the fuel holder tray beneath the water pan, within the frame.
6. Position Fuel Holders: Place the fuel holders into the designated spots on the fuel holder tray. Do not light the fuel yet.
7. Place Food Pan: Carefully place the food pan containing your prepared food into the water pan.
8. Cover with Lid: Place the lid on top of the food pan to retain heat and moisture. The lid features a hinge latch for convenience.

   

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare Food: Ensure your food is already cooked and hot before placing it into the food pan. Chafing dishes are designed to keep food warm, not to cook it.
2. Light Fuel: Once the chafing dish is fully assembled with food inside, carefully open the fuel holders and light the chafing fuel using a long lighter or match. Exercise caution as the fuel will ignite quickly.

   

3. Monitor Heat: The burning fuel will heat the water in the water pan, creating steam that keeps the food warm. Monitor the fuel and replace as needed for longer events.
4. Serving: Lift the lid using the handle. The hinge latch allows the lid to remain open for serving.
5. Extinguish Fuel: To extinguish the chafing fuel, carefully slide the cover back over the fuel can using a tool (e.g., tongs) to smother the flame. Do not touch hot fuel cans directly.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and hygiene of your chafing dishes.

• Cool Down: Allow all components to cool completely before cleaning. Never immerse hot pans in cold water, as this can cause warping.
• Empty Water and Food: Dispose of any remaining food and water.
• Washing: Wash all stainless steel components (lids, food pans, water pans, fuel holders, frames) with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. The stainless steel material is designed for easy cleaning.
• Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Dry all parts immediately with a soft towel to prevent water spots and maintain the mirror polish finish.
• Storage: The frame is foldable for compact storage. Store all components in a dry place.
