• Never use an open flame before checking with your local code official.
• Only use chafing fuel to maintain proper serving temperatures.
• Never use chafing fuel to cook foods.
• Always use a long-reach match or butane lighter to ignite the chafing fuel.
• Never place chafing fuel near flammable table decorations or nearby items like curtains and paper products.
• Always place chafing fuel in the desired area before lighting it.
• Never light the fuel and carry or move it to the desired area.
• Always wash your hands after working with chafing fuel as there may be some fuel residue left on your skin.
• Never use other lit cans or rolled up paper to light chafing fuel.
• Always extinguish chafing fuel at the end of events by using the proper tool (twist-off metal lid, snuffer paddle, regulator, etc.).

Important to keep in mind:
- Do not leave an open flame unattended
- Allow fuel canisters to completely cool before removing from holders.
- Extinguish the burners before cleaning up or moving. This can be done by simply putting the lid over the flame, using a large serving spoon, or the bottom of a previously extinguished (and cooled) sterno can.
