Wells WV2HGRW VCS 2000 Ventless Cooking System, Griddle and 2 French Plates, Drawer Warmer Base, Electric 208/240V
Description
An all-in-one ventless cooking system: griddle and two 9" French hot plates on a double drawer warmer base, under its own filtered hood with fire suppression.
The Wells WV2HGRW is a VCS 2000 Ventless Cooking System. The hood, fire suppression and cooking equipment come as one package: a griddle and two 9" French hot plates on a double drawer warmer base. The UL710B recirculating hood cleans the air through four filter stages, so you can cook in spaces where a ducted Type-1 hood is impractical or too costly, subject to local approval. It rolls on rear casters, fits through a 36" door and runs on 208/240V electric power.

Measure the ceiling and door path, and confirm with your local authority that a ventless system is approved for your site.
No exhaust duct
UL710B recirculating hood with Type-1 certification: it cleans the air on board, so you can cook where a ducted hood is impractical. Final approval is up to your local authority.
4-stage filtration
Stainless baffle filter with grease cup, fire-rated fiberglass pre-filter and a HEPA / carbon-charcoal filter pack, all removable without tools.
Built-in fire system
Self-contained ANSUL R-102 system with tank, nozzles, fusible links and a movable manual pull station; meets NFPA 96 Chapter 13.
Safety interlock
Airflow sensors watch the filters; the cooking surface will not run if filters are missing or clogged, or after a fire. A light gives early warning to change filters.
Cooking top
The top has a griddle and two 9" French hot plates. Each hot plate has an infinite control with a positive-off position.
Base
Two warming drawers, each with its own thermostat from 90°F to 210°F, humidity control and a removable 12" x 20" x 6" pan.
Delivery and setup
- Inspect the crate for damage before you sign, and note any damage on the delivery receipt.
- A licensed electrician connects it. Three-phase units come with a 6 ft. cord and NEMA 15-60P plug; check the nameplate against your circuit.
- An authorized ANSUL distributor must charge and certify the fire suppression system before first use; the blower will not run until then.
- Keep 6" at the sides (spacers supplied), 6" below and 19" above to combustibles, and plan at least 400 CFM of fresh air in and out of the room.
- If your authority requires a remote pull station, Wells notes switch casters are replaced with standard legs so the unit cannot be moved.
Questions buyers ask
Does it need a hood or exhaust duct?
No outside venting is needed. The VCS 2000 is a UL710B recirculating system that filters the air and has its own fire suppression. The hood reduces odors but does not remove them all, and the local authority having jurisdiction must approve the installation.
What power does it need?
Wells lists 208V 1- or 3-phase: 8,700 W, 42 A single phase, 19 / 32 / 26 A per line 3-phase; 240V 1- or 3-phase: 10,800 W, 45 A single phase, 21 / 35 / 27 A per line 3-phase. Three-phase units come with a 6 ft. cord and NEMA 15-60P plug.
Which voltage choices are offered?
The listing offers 208/240V 3-phase with a NEMA 15-60P cord and plug, or 208/240V single phase. Match the choice to your building power.
Who sets up the fire system?
An authorized ANSUL distributor must charge and certify the fire suppression system after installation and before first use. The hood blower will not run until it is set up.
Which filters need replacing?
The pre-filter (Wells 22618) and the HEPA / carbon-charcoal filter pack (22619) are replacement items. The stainless baffle filter and grease cup are cleaned.
What warranty does it have?
The Wells owner's manual lists a one-year parts and labor warranty from the date of installation.
