specification sheet.
2. a. Most warmers are designed for WET OR DRY operation, except
AUTOFILL
units..
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.
