How to Use (Important Instructions)

1. Always Add Water First

Before lighting any fuel:

• Fill the water pan with hot water (½″–1″ deep)
• Ensure the bottom is fully covered, but do not overfill

✔ Using hot water helps food reach and maintain serving temperature faster

2. Insert Food Pans

• Place food trays into the chafing dish after adding water
• Ensure pans sit securely and evenly

3. Light Fuel LAST

Only light the Sterno/chafing fuel once:

• Water is properly added
• Food pans are in place
• Lid is ready to close

4. Monitor Water Levels

For longer events:

• Check water levels every 1–2 hours
• Refill with hot water as needed

⚠ If water evaporates completely, the pan may overheat or scorch

5. Adjust Heat as Needed

• Start with full/open flame to heat up
• Once food is hot, reduce to medium if adjustable

✔ This maintains temperature without overheating or drying out food

Perfect For:

Buffets, weddings, catering events, corporate functions, and large gatherings.
