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.
Full-size pan wells
The five 12" x 20" wells take standard 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.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- Installation is by a qualified electrician. Power leads come through the conduit knockout to the terminal block in the master control panel; check the nameplate for voltage and phase.
- Wells ships it wired for 3-phase power. It can be converted to single phase in the field; tell your electrician which supply you have.
- Leave the unit reachable from below for service. Wells recommends a baffle 8-1/2" below the unit if you store items underneath.
