Installation
Inspect all parts of the Classic Countertop Chafing Dish prior to
installation. If the unit is damaged, do not use. Contact a supplier for a
replacement. To use the chafing dish, first place the unit on a flat, level
surface and carefully place canned fuel in the holder located on the
bottom of the chafer.
If using an electric heating element, Spring
USA’s electric heating
element for rectangular chafing dishes, model #9517, is recommended.
First remove the fuel holder. To attach this element, align the bolt holes
on the element with the bolts located on the underside of the water
pan. The flat side of the heating element should be touching the
underside of the water pan. See Figure 1 for reference.
