Chafing Dish
- Allow water and food pans to cool completely in thestand.
- 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 the 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

- Keep chafing dish away from children, and always store chafing fuel canister in a child-safe place.
- Use caution when removing the glass lid; rising steam will be hot.

Tempered Glass Lids
- Industrial glass is tempered by a controlled thermal treatment process to increase its strength when compared with normal glass.
- The thermal treatment of glass creates balanced internal stresses which cause the glass, when broken, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards.
- The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury, making tempered glass lids safer for use within household kitchens provided the instructions below are observed.
- Extra caution must be used when handling glass lids.
- When cleaning a glass lid, do not use abrasive cleansers, steel wool or coarse scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface of the glass lid, which may cause breakage over time.

Thermal Shock
- Avoid sudden temperature changes such as placing a hot glass lid on a cold surface or immersing a hot glass lid in cold water.

Important
- Glass lid is oven-safe up to 350F (176C)
- Avoid sudden or severe temperature changes
- Do not immerse hot lid in cold water
- Thermal shock can cause a tempered glass lid to shatter
- Immediately discontinue use of a damaged lid
