The 57-1/2" width and 30-9/16" front-to-back depth set the counter run. Get the cutout size from the Wells installation sheet before cutting the counter.
Separate well controls
Each well has its own thermostatic control and a temperature-ready light. High-limits prevent overheating; thermostatic controls sit recessed in a drawn, front-mounted panel.
Extra-deep 4/3 pan wells
The four 12" x 27" wells each hold four 1/3-size pans or equivalent fractional pans. Run them wet or dry; Wells recommends wet.
Fully insulated body
Sides, front, back and bottom are insulated for faster preheat and recovery. Wells rates the fully insulated MODs for non-metal counters.
Wellslok mounting
The one-piece stainless steel top flange seats on a gasket, and Wellslok clamps tighten it to the counter from below with a screwdriver.
Tubular heating elements
Tubular elements under each well spread the heat evenly: 1240/1650 W per well at 208/240V.
Drain manifold
The well drains join one manifold with a valve, so you empty all wells from one point.
