OPERATIONAL NOTES:
REPLACE PREFILTER and REPLACE FILTER PACK indicator lights
provide a timely warning that a system shut-down is imminent.
The actual time between the indicator light coming on and the loss of
cooking appliance power will depend upon the cooking conditions.
Anytime a dirty PRE-FILTER is replaced, the system airflow will
increase. If the condition of the FILTER PACK is marginal, the
REPLACE FILTER PACK light could then come on. If this happens,
a fresh FILTER PACK must be installed within a reasonably short time.
Loss of airflow through the old filter pack will soon cause a system
shut-down when the airflow falls below minimum vapor capture levels.
KEEP SPARE FILTER PACKS ON HAND.
IMPORTANT: If you decide to “get the most” out of the old filter pack,
and continue to use it until a system shut-down happens, it is advisable
to have a fresh filter pack readily at hand, and have someone available
who is capable of replacing it. Otherwise, you may experience an
extended down time, with consequent associated loss of business.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for loss of business due to
a system shutdown caused by a dirty pre-filter and/or filter pack
(i.e. red SERVICE REQUIRED light is on), when the user fails to
have the proper replacement pre-filter and/or filter pack on hand.
The Ventless Cooking System™ hood is designed as part of a WELLS

peak period. However, the indicated filters must be replaced within
a reasonably short time period or they will clog and shut down
electrical power to the co oktop. The ventilator blo wer will continue
to run.
5. When the red SERVICE REQUIRED light glows, either the
pre-filter or filter pack (or both) is clogged and can no longer pass
sufficient air to allow furthe r ope ration. The ventilator fan continues
to run, but the cooktop is shut down until the underlying clogged
filter situation has been corrected. This can occur when neither
CHANGE...FILTER indicator light is lit, if both pre-filter and filter pack are marginal. Replacing both the pre-filter a nd the filter pack
will remedy the situation.
Note: replacing the pre-filter, even though not very dirty, will often
extend the service life of the more exp en sive filter pack.
Reset the unit by turning the VENTILATOR POWER switch to OFF, then back ON.
6. A failure of incoming electrical power will cause a shut down of the
unit. After power is restored, reset the unit by turning the

the food
product.
HOTPLATE COOKTOP OPERATION
GENERAL OPERATIONAL NOTES
Carefully read the description of the hotplate operation on the
specification sheet.
DO NOT attempt to perform any maintenance or service unless the
hotplate is disconnected from electrical power.
DO turn the circuit breaker for the hotplate off before cleaning,
servicing or performing any maintenance.
DO NOT use sharp objects or metal implements to clean the heating
elements.
DO use a plastic spatula or plastic scouring pad to remove burned-on
food product.
OPERATION
Each heating element is controlled by an infinite switch
temperature control:
OFF removes power from the element
LOW thru 8 are tempe rature settings
Higher numbers indicate higher temperatures
There is a continuous range of settings between LOW and HI
HI is a continuous ON setting
The indicator light will glow any time the temperature control is on.
On ceramic cooktops, the HOT SURFACE indicator will glow any time
the control is on, or the surface is above 150ºF.
Cooking Recommendations:
Save energy by turning the temperature control off any time the
hotplate is not in use. The coil-type and ceramic heating elements will
provide full heat within 30 seconds, while solid plate heating elements
will reach full heat within 2 minutes, making it unnecessary to leave the
unit on during intermittent use.
Each heating element can hold up to a 16 quart pot or pan. For
efficient heating of food product, pots and pans should be no more than
10” in diameter.
Maximize the efficiency of solid elements and ceramic cooktops by
using flat-bottom pots and pans.
Stir thick liquids frequently to maintain a consistent temperature.
1. Moist heat with Humitrol Rack:
a. MOIST operation prevents food from drying out as moisture, as
well as heat, is applied to the warming chamber.
b. To set for MOIST operation, remove Humitrol Rack from
bottom of drawer insert pan and carefully pour approximately 2
quarts of water (½” depth) into the pan. Reinstall rack.
c. The Humitrol Rack decreases the sloshing effect of the water
in the pan when the drawer is opened. When the drawer is
closed, the Humitrol Rack allows steam to rise through the
stored product in the drawer.
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 pans in
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.
