FAQs
What type of tealights should I use?
Standard tealight candles are recommended. Look for tealights with a reasonable burn time to ensure your food stays warm for the desired duration.
How long will the tealights keep my food warm?
The duration depends on the specific tealights used and their burn time, typically ranging from 3 to 5 hours. You may need to replace them during extended use.
Can I place any type of serving dish on the warmer?
Yes, as long as the dish fits within the dimensions of the warmer (approx. 31cm x 17cm) and is suitable for placing over a gentle heat source. Avoid plastics that may melt.
Is this food warmer suitable for cooking or reheating food?
No, this food warmer is designed solely for keeping pre-heated food warm. It does not generate enough heat for cooking or reheating.
Does the food warmer come with tealights?
Yes, the Apollo Chrome Food Warmer Oval Double includes two tealights to get you started.
How often should I replace the tealights?
Replace the tealights when they have burned out or are no longer providing sufficient heat. This may be necessary for longer events.
Can I use this outdoors?
While it is portable, it is best used on a stable, level surface indoors to ensure consistent heating and safety. Avoid use in windy conditions outdoors.
Troubleshooting
Warmer is not heating food effectively.
Ensure both tealights are fully lit and have not burned out. Check that the serving dish is placed directly over the heat source. Consider using tealights with a longer burn time.
Uneven heating.
Ensure the tealights are burning evenly. Reposition the serving dish slightly to allow for better heat distribution. The design aims for gentle, even heat, so some variation is normal.
Difficult to clean wax residue.
Allow the wax to cool and solidify completely, then gently scrape it away with a plastic or wooden tool. For tougher residue, warm the area slightly with a hairdryer on a low setting and then wipe clean with a soft cloth.
Chrome finish appears dull or stained.
Clean with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome. Polish gently with a dry, soft cloth to restore shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners or pads.
