chafer heater or chafer fuel designed specifically for chafer application.	1. Remove the food pan from the water pan/base.

If using an induction warmer or electric chafer heater, we recommend using a Vollrath brand product.

If using fuel, use only a high-quality chafer gel fuel. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for safety and use.

CAUTION

Burn Hazard

Do not touch heating surfaces, liquid, or while unit is heating or operating. Hot food, surfaces, steam and liquids can burn skin. Use gloves, mitts or pot holders if it is necessary to handle hot pans, plates and equipment.

WARNING

Fire Hazard

Use only chafer fuel designed for chafer use. Do not install chafer fuel near combustible material. Fire could occur.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the heater. Liquid inside the heater could cause an electrical shock. Do not use damaged power cord.

the water pan/base.

Set-up the Chafer

If your chafer has a rear support leg, turn the leg to extend it to support the cover. Extend the leg until it is flush with the surface on which the chafer is sitting.

NOTICE: Failure to stabilize the chafer could cause the chafer to tip.

4.Close the cover.

5.Preheat the water based on the heat source:

•Induction heater: Follow the directions in Operator’s Manual for the induction heater

•Universal electric chafer heater: Set on “HI” until steam rises from the water

•Chafer fuel: 30 minutes or until steam rises from the water.

Keep Hot Food Warm

1.Open the cover.

2.Place the food pan containing food product that is already at proper serving temperatures (140 °F (60 °C)) into the water pan/base.

3.Close the cover.

NOTICE: Monitor food temperature closely for food safety. The United States Public Health Service recommends that hot food be held at a minimum of 140 ºF (60 ºC) to help prevent bacteria growth.

4.Regularly check the food temperature. If necessary, adjust the induction warmer or electric chafer heater between “HI” and “LO” or reduce the flame on chafer fuel source to maintain correct food temperature.

5.Make sure the water pan continues to generate steam. Note, adding additional water to the water pan during use will require time to heat up enough to generate steam.

6.When finished using the equipment, turn off the induction warmer or turn the electric chafer heater to the “OFF” position, and unplug or extinguish the flame on the chafer fuel source.

7.Remove the food pan. When removing hot food containers from unit use gloves, mitts or pot holders to protect hands.

8.Allow ample time for the water to cool before removing the water pan/base. Dispose the water.
