Chafing dish fuel is made from natural ethanol alcohol, mixed with water and a thickening agent to make it a solid or gel.
HENDI chafing dish fuel is artificially made to taste so bitter that it is impossible to swallow.
To safely and efficiently warm chafing dishes, we urgently advise to place the chafing dish fuel can in the indicated fuel holders.
The heating capacity is equal throughout the range while the heating rate depends on the size of the flame, determined by the distance the lid of the chafing dish fuel can holder is kept open.
All HENDI chafing dish fuel burn soot and odourless.
Cartouches and cans burning without the chafing dish fuel can holder become very hot during use, creating a significant risk of burns if they are not placed inside the chafing dish fuel can holder. Danger of burns!
These chafing dish fuel can holders are included with the HENDI chafing dishes and available separately.
Always read the product instructions before use.
Make sure there are no open flames or hot objects nearby when working with chafing dish fuel.
The flammable vapour easily escapes from the container.
Make sure that no water (condensation) drips into the burning fuel. It can cause dangerous sputtering and splashing of fuel.
Only light the fuel after placing the chafing dish fuel can holder with can in the final location.
The flames are almost entirely blue, making them very hard to see in the light. Caution is advised.
Only ever extinguish the fuel by closing the lid of the chafing dish fuel can holder.
Refilling: Always make sure the can and its holder have completely cooled down.
Remove the can from the chafing dish fuel can holder to refill the can.
Storage: Always store it in closed containers in a dark and well-ventilated location, below 20°C.
To store larger amounts of fuel, please consult your local regulations.
If the above instructions are followed, the risk of accidents will be minimal.
In case of a starting/small fire: use a fire blanket (or a large, wet blanket) to cover the fire and deprive it of oxygen.
In case of fire on clothes/body: use a fire blanket or a powder/CO2 fire extinguisher.
Never try to extinguish the fire with a small towel as this would only spread the fuel and the flames! After extinguishing the fire keep the body cool for 15 minutes or until medical assistance arrives.
Leave clothes in place.
Always seek medical assistance immediately.
