Operating & Cleaning Guidelines
-
Setup & Filling: Position the chafing dish frame on a flat, level, heat-resistant table. Place the water pan into the base frame and fill with warm water to a depth of approximately 20–25 mm.
-
Heating & Loading: Insert two chafing fuel cans into the stainless steel fuel holders, ignite carefully, and place them directly beneath the water pan. Allow the water to heat for 15 to 20 minutes before inserting the food pan filled with pre-heated hot food (minimum 65°C under Australian food safety standards). Place the lid on top to retain heat.
-
Daily Hygiene & Cleaning: After service, extinguish fuel cans and allow the water pan to cool completely. Wash the stainless steel food pan, water pan, lid, and fuel holders in warm soapy water or a commercial dishwasher. Wipe down the polished exterior frame with a soft microfibre cloth and stainless steel polish to preserve its shine.
