• Take care – the flame on gel chafing fuel is barely visible. • Use a blunt object (e.g. a spoon) to open the lid. • Don’t use a sharp object (e.g. a knife) to open the lid. • Place your hand over the lid when opening a can. • Never handle or carry a lit can – they can become very hot! • Use a small non-flammable object (e.g. a saucer) to extinguish the flame – never attempt to blow out the flame. • Don’t touch a can for some time after it is extinguished – the can takes a while to cool. • Place the can under heating equipment (e.g. a chafing dish) before lighting. • Ensure the can is securely in position in the equipment before lighting. • Use a long-handle match or butane lighter to light the can. • Don’t use a lit can to light another can. • Never position a can on a table-top or on table linen. • Never carry heating equipment (e.g. a chafing dish) with lit cans inside. • Never use your hands to extinguish a flame. • Replace the lid/cap before disposal to prevent any fuel leakage.
