Infinite dial control
An infinite switch with a guard ring sets the heat and helps prevent accidental changes. A high limit prevents overheating.
Deep-drawn well
A one-piece stainless steel top flange and heavy-gauge, deep-drawn stainless steel pan hold a standard 7-quart round inset.
Wellslok mounting
Wellsloks clamp the flange to the countertop from below; you turn them with a screwdriver during installation.
Built-in drain
A 1/2" NPT drain lets you empty the water without lifting the unit. A drain valve extension kit is optional.
Delivery and setup
