General Use & Care - Before using your 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. - Make sure water and food pans are placed correctly and fit securely on the stand. - The food pan is safe for preheating food in the oven at temperatures up to 390°F (198°C) without lid. However, prolonged oven use at high temperatures may cause discoloration. - Set water pan into base and fill with water. Do not exceed waterline mark inside pan. Water may be preheated for faster operation. - Place chafing fuel canisters in stand and use a long-stemmed match or long-tipped lighter to light chafing fuel canisters at center hole. - For best heat efficiency, keep lid on food pan. - Do not move or tip chafing fuel canisters and/or stand once chafing fuel canisters are lit. - Always use an oven mitt when handling hot parts. - Use caution when removing lid by tilting the lid, so steam is directed away from you. - Periodically check water level, as water will evaporate during operation.\ Cleaning and Maintenance - Allow chafing dish to cool completely on its stand. - Do not leave or store food remains in chafing dish for long periods of time as superficial pitting may occur. - Remove all contents and wash chafing dish and components with warm soapy water. All stainless steel parts are dishwasher-safe. However, we recommend hand-drying each part immediately after the rinse cycle or washing and drying by hand to preserve the original finish. - Prolonged exposure to high heat settings may cause your chafing dish to discolor. To recondition your chafing dish or to remove stubborn spots or stains, use a nonabrasive pad and quality stainless steel cleanser such as Bar Keepers Friend®. Cold Foods - Your chafing dish is also great for chilling seafood or fruits. - Use crushed ice or a mixture of ice and water in water pan to chill foods. Important Warnings - Do not use denatured alcohol, serious injury could occur. - To avoid injury or spills, do not move or carry chafing stand while chafing dish is full or chafing fuel canisters are lit. - Do not leave an open flame unattended.
