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. Turn temperature control to HI or highest temperature setting.
3. Allow warmer to preheat for approximately 30 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.
