DROP-IN HOT WELLS
17676 Rev A 9/01
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Top surface gets extremely hot and can burn skin or damage heat-sensitive items.
Use caution when touching top surface and keep heat-sensitive items off of top surface.
Drain Operation:
Each well is equipped with its own drain shut off valve. As an option, some models may have a
master drain valve that controls all wells in the unit. The master drain valve should be closed at
all times the unit is operating.
If the unit is equipped with a master drain valve, to operate the unit with the wells draining
independently of each other, turn each valve located directly under each well to the “Off”
position. The valve is in the off position when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the body
of the valve. Open each valve separately to only drain the liquid from the well the valve is
connected to. To operate with all of the wells draining together, open all individual well drains
and use the master drain valve to drain all of the wells at the same time.
If the unit does not have a master drain valve, to operate the unit be sure each valve is closed for
operation. The valve is in the off position when the handle of the valve forms a “T” with the
body of the valve. To drain the unit, open each valve draining only the liquid from the well the
valve is attached to.
Cleaning:
To maintain appearance and increase the service life, the food warmer should be cleaned at least
daily.
1. Before cleaning be sure unit is turned off and that the liquid in the wells has cooled
completely.
2. Carefully open drain valves making sure to drain liquid into a container or floor drain.
WARNING
BURN HAZARD
Hot water and hot parts can burn skin.
Allow hot wells and water to cool before handling.
3. Wipe the entire well interiors with a clean, damp cloth.
4. To avoid damaging the finish, do not use abrasive materials, scratching cleaners or scouring
pads to clean water deposits from the wells.
5. If soap or chemical cleaners are used, be sure they are completely rinsed away with clear
water, immediately after cleansing. Chemical residue could corrode surface of unit.
