OPERATION 

WET OR DRY OPERATION for WARMERS 

 
 

1.  Carefully read the description of the warmer operation on the 

 

 

specification sheet.   

 

2.  a.  Most warmers are designed for 

WET OR DRY 

operation. 

 

 

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. 
 

4.  Damage caused by allowing a wet-operation warmer to run dry,  

   is 

NOT

 covered by warranty.  Damage caused by adding water 

 

 

to a dry warmer when hot is 

NOT

 covered by warranty. 

 

PRE-HEATING THE WARMER 

 

 

1.  Place desired pan(s) or inset(s) with appropriate adapter top on 

   warmer. 
 

 

a.  Insets are available as accessories in 2½ qt., 4qt., 7 qt.,  

 

 

 

and 11 qt. sizes with lids and adapter tops. 

 

 

b.  For dry operation, a 6” deep pan or inset is recommended. 

     2. 

Infinite Switch Controlled Warmers: Turn temperature control to 

 

 

PREHEAT.

 

     3. 

Allow warmer to 

PREHEAT

 for approximately 15 minutes, then 

 

 

set the control for the desired temperature.  Be sure to keep the 

 

 

warmer covered during preheat and operation. 

 
OPERATION 

 
     1. 

Always use an inset.

 DO NOT 

place food directly into the  

   warmer. 

 

 

2.  Check water level in wet-operation warmer frequently during  

 

 

use.  Running warmers dry will lower the temperature of the  

 

 

food in the insert pan, and may damage the warmer.   

 

3.  Alternating between wet and dry operation in any individual  

   warmer 

is 

NOT

 recommended. 

 4. 

DO NOT

 use metal tools, steel wool, or caustic or abrasive  

 

 

cleanser to clean warmer pan. 

CAUTION: 

HOT SURFACE 

 

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

 

CAUTION:   

SHOCK HAZARD 

 

DO NOT splash or pour water 
onto control panel or wiring. 
 
 
 
 
Always use an inset.

 

DO NOT 

place food directly 

into the warmer.  
 
Always pour hot water into the 
warmer before it is      
preheated.

   DO NOT 

pour 

water into a dry, heated 
warmer.  This may damage 
the unit.  
 

DO NOT

 put  ice into a 

warmer pan.  This will cause 
condensation on the inside of 
the  warmer.  Damage caused 
by condensation is 

NOT   

covered by warranty. 
 
Stir thick food items frequently 
to keep food heated uniformly. 
 
Keep insets covered to    
maintain food quality and 
temperature.
