Wells HW-106D Cook 'N Hold Drop-In Round Warmer, 11 Qt. Inset, Thermostat, Drain, 208/240V
A round drop-in well that heats chilled soups and sauces in an 11-quart inset and then holds them hot.
The Wells HW-106D is a top-mount Cook 'N Hold warmer built to quickly heat refrigerated foods and hold them at safe serving temperatures. Its tubular heating element sits inside the well for direct heat transfer, so it runs wet only. It takes one 11-quart round inset, or 4- and 7-quart insets with adapter tops, and has a thermostat with ready light and a 1/2-inch drain as standard. It runs on 208/240V single phase and is hard-wired.
Plan the counter: the round flange is 12" across, and Wells wants 3" to the back and side walls.
Wells built the Cook 'N Hold to quickly bring refrigerated foods up to temperature, then hold them hot.
The tubular element sits inside the well, in the water, for maximum heat transfer; the unit is for wet operation only.
Takes one 11 qt. round inset. Adapter tops 20822 and 20175 convert it to hold a 4 qt. or 7 qt. inset.
A thermostat in a recessed one-piece front panel holds temperature; a ready light and high limit are standard.
A 1/2" NPT drain empties the well for cleaning; extension kit 20385 brings the handle to the counter front.
Wells designs the HW-106D to quickly heat refrigerated foods and then hold them at safe serving temperatures, so you can bring chilled soup or sauce up in the well rather than on a range.
One 11 qt. round inset. Wells sells 11 qt. insets with lid (20908) or hinged lid (21057), and adapter tops 20822 (4 qt.) and 20175 (7 qt.).
No. The element is inside the well, so it is for wet operation only. Wells says to add about 1" of hot tap water before turning it on and to preheat about 10 minutes.
208/240V single phase: 1240 W and 6.0 A at 208V, 1650 W and 6.9 A at 240V. It is hard-wired.
Wells' current warranty policy lists 2 years parts and labor for Cook 'N Hold equipment including the HW-106D.
