OPERATION

CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
Exposed surfaces can be hot
to the touch and may cause
burns.
CAUTION:
SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT splash or pour water
onto control panel or wiring.
Always use an inset.
DO NOT place food directly
into the warmer.
Always pour hot water into the
warmer before it is preheated.
DO NOT pour water into a
dry, heated warmer. This may
damage the unit.
DO NOT put ice into a
warmer pan. This will cause
condensation on the inside of
the warmer. Damage caused
by condensation is NOT
covered by warranty.
Stir thick food items frequently
to keep food heated uniformly.
Keep insets covered to
maintain food quality and
temperature.
WET OR DRY OPERATION for WARMERS
1. Carefully read the description of the warmer operation on the
specification sheet.
2. a. Most warmers are designed for WET OR DRY operation.
b. Warmers may be used wet, or may be used dry. However
warmers may NOT be used wet-to-dry or dry-to-wet unless they
have been allowed to cool to room temperature between the
change in wet or dry operation.
c. Wells Manufacturing recommends operating WET for consistent
food heating.
d. If your wet-operation warmer is allowed to run dry, turn it OFF and
allow to cool to room temperature before adding water.
3. If the warmer is to be used for WET operation, add approximately 1" of
hot tap water before turning the warmer on. Use of hot water will allow
a faster preheat.
a. Check the water level frequently and add hot water as
necessary to prevent the warmer from running dry. Do not
add water to the warmer if it has run dry.
b. If your wet-operation warmer is allowed to run dry, turn it
OFF and allow to cool to room temperature before adding
water.
4. Damage caused by allowing a wet-operation warmer to run dry,
is NOT covered by warranty. Damage caused by adding water
to a dry warmer when hot is NOT covered by warranty.
PRE-HEATING THE WARMER
1. Place desired pan(s) or inset(s) with appropriate adapter top on
warmer.
2. Turn temperature control to highest temperature setting.
3. Allow warmer to preheat for approximately 30 minutes, then set
the control for the desired temperature. Be sure to keep the warmer
covered during preheat and operation.
OPERATION
1. Always use an inset. DO NOT place food directly into the
warmer.
2. Check water level in wet-operation warmer frequently during
use. Running warmers dry will lower the temperature of the
food in the insert pan, and may damage the warmer.
3. Alternating between wet and dry operation in any individual
warmer is NOT recommended.
4. DO NOT use metal tools, steel wool, or caustic or abrasive
cleanser to clean warmer pan.
