OPERATION

CAUTION:

HOT SURFACE

Exposed surfaces can be hot to the touch and may cause burns.

NOTE:

The chart below is intended as a guide ONLY. Your own experience with this appliance, type of foods and method of operation will enable you to determine the temperature control and air vent settings best suited to your operation.

HEATING OPTIONS

1.Moist heat with Humitrol Rack:

a.MOIST operation prevents food from drying out as heat is applied to the warming chamber.

b.To set for MOIST operation, remove the Humitrol Rack from bottom of drawer insert pan and carefully pour approximately 2 quarts of water (½” depth) into the pan. Reinstall rack.

c.When the drawer is closed, the Humitrol Rack allows water vapor to rise through the stored product in the drawer. The Humitrol Rack also decreases the sloshing effect of the water in the pan when the drawer is opened.

d.Place the food directly on the rack. The rack is designed to support the food off of the steam vents, where water droplets may form.

e.Check the water level in the pan periodically, and add water when necessary.

f.Set the front air vent between fully closed and half-open. Actual setting will depend upon the type and amount of product stored in the drawer, the temperature setting, and the frequency with which the drawer is opened.

2.Moist heat with pans:

a.This Wells warmer is designed to accommodate any combination of standard-size, steam table pans.

b.Place a small amount of water in drawer pan. Place the steam table pans in the drawer pan.

c.Check the water level in the pan periodically, and add water when necessary.

3.Dry heat:

a.For some applications, you may want to store previously prepared foods in a dry-heat environment. To do so, place the food directly into the empty (i.e. no water) drawer pan.
