The Sterno S'mores Maker is a device designed to create a fun and safe environment for making s'mores, suitable for both commercial and residential use. It comes in two models: the full-size S'mores Maker, which holds all ingredients for roasting, and the smaller S'mores Maker Jr., ideal for more creative display approaches.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Sterno S'mores Maker is to provide a controlled heat source for roasting marshmallows to create s'mores. Users place a graham cracker and a piece of chocolate on the s'mores making station area of the tray. A marshmallow is attached to a roasting fork and held approximately 2 inches above the lit Sterno S'mores Heat roasting screen. The marshmallow is roasted by holding and turning it over the heat until all sides are golden brown, ensuring it does not rest directly on the roasting screen. Once roasted, the hot marshmallow is placed on the chocolate square, followed by another graham cracker. Pressure is applied to hold the marshmallow in place while slowly removing the roasting fork.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Fuel Type: The Sterno S'mores Maker exclusively uses Sterno S'mores Heat® cooking fuel. This is a corn-based, ethanol gel.
• Burn Time: Each can of Sterno S'mores Heat® burns for up to 45 minutes. Unused fuel can be extinguished, capped, and reused until completely burned up.
• Emissions: Sterno S'mores Heat® is UL Validated for indoor and outdoor clean emissions, ensuring no off-taste is imparted to marshmallows.
• Heat Management System: The S'mores Maker incorporates an integrated Heat Management System that securely suspends the chafing fuel from the serving surface. This design prevents the can from tipping over and minimizes heat damage to the surface.
• Safety Features: The device includes a Roasting Safety Screen with handles, which also serves as a lid to extinguish the flame. The design emphasizes safe operation, requiring adult supervision for children and adherence to specific handling instructions.

Usage Features:

• Ease of Use: The s'mores making process is straightforward, with clear step-by-step instructions provided.
• Indoor/Outdoor Use: The Sterno S'mores Maker is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. However, outdoor roasting may take longer due to environmental factors like humidity and wind. For optimal outdoor roasting, a dry area with limited humidity and wind is recommended, and limiting the number of individuals roasting simultaneously to two is advised.
• Ingredient Holding: The full-size S'mores Maker is designed to hold all s'mores ingredients, enhancing convenience.
• Fuel Extinguishing: The flame is extinguished by inverting the Roasting Safety Screen and placing it over the can's opening. This process should be performed by an adult.
• Fuel Availability: Sterno S'mores Heat® can be purchased from local distributors or online retailers such as Walmart.com and Amazon.com.
• Assembly and Operation: Detailed instructions and warnings for assembly and operation are included in the product packaging and are also available online at www.SternoProducts.com.
• Safety Guidelines:
  • For use by adults and children under direct adult supervision.
  • Only Sterno S'mores Heat® cooking fuel should be used.
  • The fuel is flammable and can cause burns; caution is advised.
  • Never leave the device unattended when hot or in use.
  • Avoid wearing loose clothing or allowing long hair to hang freely while lighting the fuel.
  • Keep hands and face away from the roasting surface and flame during use.
  • Always use the product on a level, stable, and non-combustible surface.
  • Never use the product near curtains, drapes, rugs, or other items that could catch fire or combust.
  • Never move the product while the Sterno S'mores Heat® cooking fuel is ignited.
  • Unused S'mores Heat®, matches, or lighters should be stored in a child-safe place, away from heat sources and combustibles.
  • In case of a fire, a Class B rated fire extinguisher or baking soda should be used.

Maintenance Features:

• Cool-Down Period: After extinguishing the flame, all components and the S'mores Heat can must be allowed to cool completely before handling, washing, or storing. A 15-minute cool-down period is recommended before handling the can.
• Cleaning: The S'mores Maker Serving Station, Roasting Safety Screen, Cooking Fuel Suspension Ring, and Roasting Forks are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, they can be washed with a non-abrasive cleaner.
• Discoloration: Slight discoloration of the roasting surface after use is normal and does not affect future performance.
