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.
Use only genuine Wells replacement parts and filters, call (314) 6786314 or your authorized Wells service agent. Parts supplied by others
will void your warranty and may not provide safe operation.
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.

elements is out of position. Check the GREASE BAFFLE,
PRE-FILTER and FILTER PACK for proper 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 cooking appliance . The ventilator blower
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 further operation. The ventilator fan continues
to run, but the cooking appliance 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 and 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 expensive 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 POWER switch to OFF, then back ON.
NOTE: Griddle and fryer will not operate unless the fire suppression
system is charged, and the ventilator section is operating .

OPERATION (continued)
GRIDDLE OPERATION
PREPARING THE GRIDDLE SURFACE
1. SEASONING STANDARD GRIDDLES
As manufactured, the steel surface of your Wells griddle has
microscopic pores. It is important to fill these pores with oil in order
to provide a hard, non-stick cooking surface.
a. Preheat the griddle surface to 375ºF (191ºC).
b. Spread a light film of cooking oil over the entire griddle surface
c. Allow the oil film to cook in for approximately 2 minutes, or until
it smokes.
d. Wipe the griddle surface with a clean damp cloth until all oil is
removed.
e. For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until the
griddle has a slick, clean surface.
2. CHROME PLATED GRIDDLES
Because the microscopic pores in the griddle surface are filled by
the chrome plating, no seasoning of the griddle surface is required.
a. Thoroughly clean the griddle surface using a soft clean cloth
and a small amount of mild detergent.
b. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
c. The griddle is now ready to use.
USING THE GRIDDLE
1. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature.
The indicator light will glow while the griddle is heating. When the
indicator light first goes out, the griddle is ready to use.
2. For standard griddles, keep the griddle surface clean and well oiled
during use. Scrape cooking waste into the grease tray frequently
during use. Occasionally brush or spray a light coat of cooking oil
on the griddle surface in order to maintain the non-stick surface.
3. For chrome plated griddles, scrape cooking waste into the grease
tray after preparing each order.
DO NOT bang or tap pots, pans, spatulas or other metal utensils on
the griddle surface as this may damage the chrome plating.
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACE
Exposed surfaces can be hot
to the touch and may cause
burns.
NOTE:
Standard griddles must be
seasoned after every cleaning.
IMPORTANT:
SCRATCHES WILL DAMAGE
THE GRIDDLE SURFACE!
DO NOT use anything on this
griddle that could scratch the
surface.
DO NOT clean chrome surface
with griddle bricks, pumice
stone or abrasive cleansers.
DO NOT bang or tap pots,
pans, spatulas or other metal
utensils on the griddle surface
as this may damage the
chrome plating.

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.
Fig. 3 Temperature Control
Knob
Fig. 4 Oil Level Marking
NOTE: If the oil exceeds a
safe temperature, the hi-limit
safety will shut down the unit
and light the red TROUBLE
indicator.
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 26.
1. a. Be sure the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB is turned to
OFF.
b. Lower the ELEMENT HEAD into the frypot by pushing back on
the BASKET SUPPORT ROD, raising the ELEMENT HEAD
SUPPORT ROD, then carefully lowering the elements.
2. Fill the FRYPOT with commercial-grade liquid shortening to the
MIN OIL line.
Capacity: 15 pounds
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.
For best results, always use top grade commercial shortening made
specially for frying. Maintain proper oil level in frypot during
operation.
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB to the desired
temperature. The HEAT INDICATOR will glow. When the oil
reaches the desired temperature, the heat indicator will go out. The
heat indicator will go off and on during 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 food product.
4. Load either or both baskets no more than 1/2 full with food product.
a. DO NOT overload fry baskets. For best results, load baskets
uniformly to half full.
b. Using the basket handle, lower the baskets into the hot oil.
c. When food is cooked, lift the basket out of the oil by the handle.
Hang the baskets on the BASKET SUPPORT ROD to drain.
5. When the heat indicator light cycles off, the fryer is ready to cook
the next load.
6. Reduce temperature control to 225ºF during idle periods to save
power and extend the life of the oil. The fryer will return to
operating temperature in just a few minutes when needed.
7. Keep the fryer clean at all times. Rinse baskets frequently, and dry
thoroughly, in order to prevent oil contamination.
8. Drain the frypot completely after use. Filter the oil daily, or more
often during heavy use.

DRAWER WARMER OPERATION (when provided)
HEATING OPTIONS
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:
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.
