Warranty
The equipment is covered by a warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for one year from installation or 18 months from shipment. The warranty is void if the equipment is modified, misused, or improperly installed, and does not cover normal wear or issues from incorrect voltage or unauthorized service.
Shipping Damage Claim Procedure
Inspect shipments upon arrival and note any visible damage on the freight bill. File claims immediately, and for concealed damage, notify the carrier within 15 days. Wells Manufacturing provides documentation for claims but is not liable for transit damage.
Specifications
Detailed electrical specifications are provided for each model, including voltage, wattage, and amperage requirements. Models are designed for specific voltages and phases, and incorrect connections can cause damage.
Features & Operating Controls
Each griddle section has individual temperature control knobs. Features include a grease trough, removable grease drawer, splash guard, and adjustable legs for leveling.
Precautions & General Information
The appliance is for commercial use only and should be operated by trained personnel. It should not be submerged in water, and maintenance should be performed by qualified technicians. The manual must accompany the appliance if sold or relocated.
Installation
Install the appliance on a firm, level, non-combustible surface. Ensure electrical connections match nameplate specifications. The appliance must be grounded, and installation must comply with federal, local, and NFPA codes.
Operation
Follow the manual for proper operation to ensure optimal performance. Adjust the griddle's temperature using the control knob, and the heating indicator will glow when the element is energized.
Cleaning Instructions
Regular cleaning is essential for sanitation. Follow the provided cleaning schedules and instructions to maintain the appliance.
Troubleshooting
The manual includes troubleshooting suggestions for common issues. For problems beyond basic troubleshooting, contact a qualified technician.
Parts & Service
For parts replacement and service, contact Wells Manufacturing or an authorized service agency. Genuine Wells parts are warranted for 90 days from purchase.
Specifications and Wiring
The griddle is factory-wired for three-phase power but can be converted to single-phase using the provided wiring diagram. It requires copper wire suitable for at least 90ºC for supply connections. A circuit breaker or properly sized fuses must be used, and an electrical disconnect should be installed for easy access.
Equipment Setup
Install the splashguard by locking the notches on the front wings into the grease trough. Slide the grease drawer into its sleeve at the front of the griddle.
Operation and Seasoning
Preheat standard and grooved griddles to 375ºF and apply a light film of cooking oil to create a non-stick surface. Repeat the seasoning process 2-3 times for new griddles. Chrome-plated griddles do not require seasoning.
Using the Griddle
Refer to the chart for recommended cooking temperatures. Maintain a clean and well-oiled surface during use. Avoid using metal utensils on chrome-plated griddles to prevent damage.
Cleaning Instructions
Set the temperature to 220ºF before cleaning. Use appropriate tools like a griddle brick or pumice stone for standard griddles and a contoured scraper for grooved surfaces. Avoid using steel wool or abrasive cleansers. Clean the grease trough and drawer daily.
Troubleshooting
If the griddle does not heat, check the circuit breaker or temperature control settings. Ensure the grease drawer is properly installed and not full. Contact authorized service for repairs as there are no user-serviceable components.
Parts and Conversion
The griddle can be converted from 3-phase to single-phase. Control knobs are marked in degrees Fahrenheit from 200ºF to 450ºF. The document includes exploded views and parts lists for various models and components.
