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.
DO NOT use AUTOFILL
warmers in the dry mode.
This may damage the water
level sensor. NEVER turn the
thermostat ON for the pan
with the sensor and fill tube
unless the entire warmer unit
is to be used in the wet mode.

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.
a. Insets are available as accessories in 2½ qt., 4qt., 7 qt., and 11 qt.
sizes with lids and adapter tops.
b. For dry operation, a 6" deep pan or inset is recommended.
2. Turn temperature control to HI or 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.
AUTOFILL WARMERS
1. Autofill warmers sense water level by a sensor placed at the proper
level. For manifolded autofill warmers, the water level sensor / fill tube
is in one pan only, normally in the far left pan.
2. Water fills the pan through an inlet tube. For manifolded autofill
warmers, the fill tube is normally in the far left pan. All other sections fill
at the same time through the drain manifold.
3. The autofill function is active only when the thermostat for the pan with
the water level sensor is turned ON .
4. Make sure the drain valve is fully closed before turning any t-stats ON.
5. The autofill function is only activated when the far left thermostat is
turned ON. For manifolded autofill warmers, be sure to turn far left
thermostats ON before turning any other control ON, to avoid heating a
dry pan.
