Wells SS-8TDUIAF 7 Qt. Insulated Auto-Fill Round Drop-In Food Warmer, Thermostatic, Drain, 208/240V
Description
A 7-quart insulated round warmer that refills its own water, so soups and sauces hold at a steady temperature without running dry.
The Wells SS8TDUIAF is a heavy-duty, top-mount round food warmer that takes a standard 7-quart round inset (sold separately). It has a one-piece stainless steel top flange and a heavy-gauge, deep-drawn stainless steel warming pan heated by a tubular element underneath. A solenoid-fed water line keeps the water at the correct level, which keeps the temperature consistent and prevents dry operation. Auto-fill models run wet only and need a water supply connection. It runs on 208/240V single phase, hard-wired, and has a 1/2" NPT drain.

Automatic water fill
A solenoid and inlet check valve keep the water at the correct level for steady temperature and to prevent dry operation.
Serve up to four wells
One auto-fill unit may be manifolded with up to three more standard or insulated round warmers with drains. The manifold is supplied by the customer to plumbing code.
Thermostatic control
The thermostat is recessed in a one-piece front-mounted panel, with a temperature-ready light. A high limit prevents overheating.
Fully insulated
Insulation around the sides and bottom saves energy, gives quicker preheat and faster recovery, and puts less heat under the counter.
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.
