PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION (continued)

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 fryer appliance only. No other use of this product is recommended or

authorized by the manufacturer or its agents. Wells Mfg. assumes no liability for the use of this equipment with products by any other manufacturer’s, or for use of this equipment with any Wells Manufacturing product other than in factory certified applications.

4. Gently lower the element head into the frypot.

ROLL WARMER DRAWER INSTALLATION

1. Be sure roller catches (inside warmer cavity) are in the open position. Install drawer assemblies in drawer slides.

2. Place appropriate one drawer insert pan into each warmer drawer.

If used, place one Humit rol rack into each drawer pan.

OPERATION

VENTILATOR OPERATION

BE SURE BOTH FRYER SWITCHES ARE OFF.

1. Press the VENTILATOR POWER switch to ON. The green VENTILATOR POWER light will glow and the blower fan will start. After a short time, if all filters are sensed as bei ng in position and not clogged, the cooktop will be energized. The roll warmer is energized at all times. During no rmal operation, the VENTILATOR POWER light will be the only light glowing on the upper control panel.

2. If the amber CHECK FILTER light glows, one or more filter elements is out of position. Check the GREASE BAFFLE, PRE-FILTER and FILTE R PACK for pro per installation in their respective positions. Grease baffle and filter pack position are sensed by mechanical switches. Pre-filter position is sensed by a vacuum switch.

3. When the amber REPLACE PRE-FILTER light glows, the pre-filter is nearing the end of its service life. Replace the disposable PRE-FILTER ELEMENT.

4. When the amber REPLACE FILTER PACK light illuminates, the HEPA / Charcoal filter pack is nearing the end of its service life. Replace the FILTER PACK.

Note: The REPLACE PRE-FILTER and REPLACE FILTER PACK lights are a warning that the indicated filter is near the end of its service life. The appliance will continue to operate for a period of time after the light glows to allow continued operation through a 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 ensive 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 VENTILATOR POWE R switch to OFF, then back ON.

CAUTION:

HOT SURFACE

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

DANGER: BURN HAZARD

Contact with hot oil will cause severe burns. Always wear protective clothing and heat resistant gloves when operating the fryer.

CAUTION:

HOT SURFACE

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

NOTE: If the oil temperature exceeds 440ºF, hi-limit safety will shut down the unit, and red TROUBLE light will glow. To reset: Allow the oil to cool, then press the red button on the back of the element head until it “clicks” and stays in. If tripping persists, see Troubleshooting Suggestions, page 23.

FRYER OPERATION

NOTE: The two sections of the fryer are completely separate, and can

be used and controlled individually.

1. a. Be sure the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB is turned to OFF.

b. Lower the ELEMENT HEAD into the frypot by pulling back on the ELEMENT LIFTING HANDLE, raising the ELEMENT HEAD SUPPORT ROD, then carefully lowering the elements into the frypot.

2. IMPORTANT:

On units equipped with frypot drains, be sure both drain valves are closed.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill the frypot. Cold oil will expand as it heats. Adding too much oil will allow the frypot to overflow during operation.

Fill the FRYPOT with commercial-grade liquid shortening to the MIN OIL line. Capacity: 30 pounds (15 pounds each frypot). For best results, always use top grade commercial shortening made specifically for frying. Maintain proper oil level in frypot during operation.

3. Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB to the desired

temperature. The HEAT INDI CATOR will glow. When the oil reaches the desired temperature, the heat indicator will go out. The heat indicator will go off and on duri ng operation as the thermostat cycles to maintain temperature. For best results: DO NOT set temperature control to a temperature setting higher than is required for the foo d product.

4. Load either or both baskets no more than 1/2 full with food product.

DO NOT overload fry baskets. For best results, load baskets uniformly to half full. Hang the basket on the BASKET LIFT.

5. Set the TIMER DIAL to the desired cooking time. Press the red

button on the timer to lower the basket into the hot oil. When food is cooked, the basket will be lifted out of the oil. Handle the hot basket onl y by the basket handle.

6. When the heat indicator light cycles off, the fryer is ready to cook

the next load.

7. Reduce temperature control to 225ºF during idle periods to save

power and extend the life of the oil. The fryer will return to operating temperatu re in ju st a few minutes when needed.

8. Keep the fryer clean at all times. Rinse baskets frequently, and dry

thoroughly, in order to prevent oil contamination.

9. Drain the frypot completely after use. Filter the oil daily, or more

often during heavy use.
