OPERATIONAL NOTES:
REPLACE PREFILTER and REPLACE FILTER PACK indicator lights
provide a timely warning that a system shut-down is imminent.
The actual time between the indicator light coming on and the loss of
cooking appliance power will depend upon the cooking conditions.
Anytime a dirty pre-lter is replaced, the system airow will increase.
If the condition of the FILTER PACK is marginal, the REPLACE FILTER
PACK light could then come on. If this happens, a fresh FILTER PACK
must be installed within a reasonably short time.
Loss of airow through the old lter pack will soon cause a system
shut-down when the airow falls below minimum vapor capture levels.
KEEP SPARE FILTER PACKS ON HAND.
IMPORTANT: If you decide to “get the most” out of the old lter pack,
and continue to use it until a system shut-down happens, it is advisable
to have a fresh lter pack readily at hand, and have someone available
who is capable of replacing it. Otherwise, you may experience an
extended down time, with consequent associated loss of business.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for loss of business due to
a system shutdown caused by a dirty pre-lter and/or lter pack
(i.e. red SERVICE REQUIRED light is on), when the user fails to
have the proper replacement pre-lter and/or lter pack on hand.
The Ventless Cooking System™ hood is designed as part of a WELLS
cooking appliance only. No other use of this product is authorized by
the manufacturer or its agents. Wells Mfg. assumes no liability for the
use of this equipment with products by any other manufacturer’s, or for
use of this equipment with any Wells Manufacturing product other than
in factory certied applications.
This appliance conforms to NSF Standard 4 for sanitation only if
installed in accordance with the supplied Installation Instructions and
operated and maintained in accordance with the instructions in this
manual.

into the upper opening until it rests rmly against the lter pack seal.
When up in position, holder clips can be snapped over wall ledge on
each side. To remove FILTER PACK: Grasp both holder clips and pull
inward until the clips clear the sidewall ledge. Then, pull the lter pack
down and out.
2. PRE-FILTER: The PRE-FILTER ships in the FILTER FRAME. If the
PRE-lter is not in position, or if the PRE-FILTER is not in the FILTER
FRAME, the CHECK FILTERS indicator will light. If the PRE-FILTER
becomes clogged, the REPLACE PRE-FILTER indicator will glow.
To install the PRE-FILTER: Pay attention to the air ow markings. The
AIR FLOW arrow will point away from the installer. Slide the assembly
up into the front opening, behind the upper lter rail. While pressing
slightly against the bottom of the assembly, pull the FILTER HANDLE
toward you so as to engage the FILTER HOOK over the lip of the top
lter rail. Then lower and seat the assembly into the top indentation of
the lower lter rail.
3. GREASE BAFFLE: If the GREASE BAFFLE is not in place, the
CHECK FILTERS indicator will glow.
To install the GREASE BAFFLE: Slide the grease bafe up into the
indentation of the upper lter rail, then lower and seat it into the bottom
indentation of the lower lter rail. Pull toward you and downward to
verify the GREASE BAFFLE is properly seated in the lower frame rail.
NOTE:
The GREASE BAFFLE
and FILTER PACK activate
mechanical switches, and
the PRE-FILTER activates a
vacuum switch, to verify that
the lter elements are in their
proper positions. All lter
elements must be properly
installed or the cooking
appliances will not be
energized. Also, the CHECK
FILTERS indicator will light.
IMPORTANT:
The lter hook prevents the
pre-lter from being drawn
in during operation. After
installation, press against the
top of the lter frame to verify
proper engagement of the
lter hook over the lip of the
top lter rail.

OPERATION
CAUTION:
Hot Surface
Exposed surfaces can be hot
to the touch and may cause
burns.
VENTILATOR OPERATION
1. Press the VENTILATOR POWER switch to ON. The green
VENTILATOR POWER light will glow and the blower fan will start.
After a short time, if all lters are sensed as being in position and not
clogged, the cooking appliance will be energized.
During normal operation, the VENTILATOR POWER light will be the
only light glowing on the upper control panel.
2. If the amber CHECK FILTER light glows, one or more lter
elements is out of position. Check the GREASE BAFFLE,
PRE-FILTER and FILTER PACK for proper installation in their
respective positions. Grease bafe and lter pack position are
sensed by mechanical switches. Pre-lter position is sensed by a
vacuum switch.
3. When the amber REPLACE PRE-FILTER light glows, the pre-lter
is nearing the end of its service life. Replace the disposable
PRE-FILTER ELEMENT.
4. When the amber REPLACE FILTER PACK light illuminates, the
HEPA / Charcoal lter pack is nearing the end of its service life.
Replace the lter pack.
Note: The REPLACE PRE-FILTER and REPLACE FILTER PACK
lights are a warning that the indicated lter is near the end of its
service life. The appliance will continue to operate for a period of
time after the light glows to allow continued operation through a
peak period. However, the indicated lters must be replaced within
a reasonably short time period or they will clog and shut down
electrical power to the cooking appliance . The ventilator blower
will continue to run.
5. When the red SERVICE REQUIRED light glows, either the pre-lter
or lter pack (or both) is clogged and can no longer pass sufcient
air to allow further operation. The ventilator fan continues to run, but
the cooking appliance is shut down until the underlying clogged lter
situation has been corrected. This can occur when neither CHANGE...
FILTER indicator light is lit, if both pre-lter and lter pack are marginal.
Replacing both the pre-lter and the lter pack will remedy the
situation.
Note: Replacing the pre-lter, even though not very dirty, will often
extend the service life of the more expensive lter pack.
Reset the unit by turning the VENTILATOR POWER switch to OFF,
then back ON.
6. A failure of incoming electrical power will cause a shut down of the
unit. After power is restored, reset the unit by turning the
VENTILATOR POWER switch to OFF, then back ON.
NOTE: Griddle and fryer will not operate unless the re suppression
system is charged, and the ventilator section is operating .

GRIDDLE OPERATION
PREPARING THE GRIDDLE SURFACE
1. SEASONING STANDARD GRIDDLES
As manufactured, the steel surface of your Wells griddle has
microscopic pores. It is important to ll these pores with oil in order
to provide a hard, non-stick cooking surface.
a. Preheat the griddle surface to 375ºF (191ºC).
b. Spread a light lm of cooking oil over the entire griddle surface
c. Allow the oil lm to cook in for approximately 2 minutes, or until
it smokes.
d. Wipe the griddle surface with a clean damp cloth until all oil is
removed.
e. For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until the
griddle has a slick, clean surface.
2. CHROME PLATED GRIDDLES
Because the microscopic pores in the griddle surface are lled by
the chrome plating, no seasoning of the griddle surface is required.
a. Thoroughly clean the griddle surface using a soft clean cloth
and a small amount of mild detergent.
b. Rinse and dry thoroughly after cleaning.
c. The griddle is now ready to use.
USING THE GRIDDLE
1. Turn the temperature control knob to the desired temperature.
The indicator light will glow while the griddle is heating. When the
indicator light rst goes out, the griddle is ready to use.
2. For standard griddles, keep the griddle surface clean and well oiled
during use. Scrape cooking waste into the grease tray frequently
during use. Occasionally brush or spray a light coat of cooking oil
on the griddle surface in order to maintain the non-stick surface.
3. For chrome plated griddles, scrape cooking waste into the grease
tray after preparing each order.
DO NOT bang or tap pots, pans, spatulas or other metal utensils on
the griddle surface as this may damage the chrome plating.
CAUTION:
Hot Surface
Exposed surfaces can be hot
to the touch and may cause
burns.
NOTE:
Standard griddles must be
seasoned after every cleaning.
IMPORTANT:
FOR CHROMED GRIDDLES,
SCRATCHES WILL DAMAGE
THE GRIDDLE SURFACE!
DO NOT use anything on this
griddle that could scratch the
surface.
DO NOT clean chrome surface
with griddle bricks, pumice
stone or abrasive cleansers.
DO NOT bang or tap pots,
pans, spatulas or other metal
utensils on the griddle surface
as this may damage the
chrome plating.

DRAWER WARMER OPERATION (when provided)
HEATING OPTIONS
1. Moist heat with Humitrol Rack:
a. MOIST operation prevents food from drying out as moisture, as
well as heat, is applied to the warming chamber.
b. To set for MOIST operation, remove Humitrol Rack from bottom
of drawer insert pan and carefully pour approximately 2 quarts of
water (½” depth) into the pan. Reinstall rack.
c. The Humitrol Rack decreases the sloshing effect of the water in
the pan when the drawer is opened. When the drawer is closed,
the Humitrol Rack allows steam to rise through the stored product
in the drawer.
d. Place the food directly on the rack. The rack is designed to
support the food off of the steam vents, where water droplets may
form.
e. Check the water level in the pan periodically, and add water when
necessary.
f. Set the front air vent between fully closed and half-open. Actual
setting will depend upon the type and amount of product stored in
the drawer, the temperature setting, and the frequency with which
the drawer is opened.
2. Moist heat with pans:
a. This Wells warmer is designed to accommodate any combination
of standard-size, steam table pans.
b. Place a small amount of water in drawer pan. Place pans in
drawer pan.
c. Check the water level in the pan periodically, and add water
when necessary.
3. Dry heat:
a.For some applications, you may want to store previously prepared
foods in a dry-heat environment. To do so, place the food directly
into the empty (i.e. no water) drawer pan.
