PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL INFORMATION (continued)  
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-FILTER is replaced, the system airflow 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 airflow through the old filter pack will soon cause a system  
shut-down when the airflow falls below minimum vapor capture levels.  
KEEP A SPARE FILTER PACK ON HAND.  
IMPORTANT: If you decide to “get the most” out of the old filter pack,  
and continue to use it until a system shut-down happens, it is advisable  
to have a fresh filter 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-filter and/or filter pack  
(i.e. red SERVICE REQUIRED light is on), when the user fails to  
have the proper replacement pre-filter and/or filter pack on hand.  
The Ventless Cooking System™ hood is designed as part of a WELLS  
fryer appliance only. No other use of this product is recommended or  
authorized by the manufacturer or its agents. Wells Mfg. assumes no  
liability for the use of this equipment with products by any other

energized at all times.  
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 filter  
elements is out of position. Check the GREASE BAFFLE,  
PRE-FILTER and FILTER PACK for proper installation in their  
respective positions. Grease baffle and filter pack position are  
sensed by mechanical switches. Pre-filter position is sensed by a  
vacuum switch.  
3. When the amber REPLACE PRE-FILTER light glows, the pre-filter  
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 filter pack is nearing the end of its service life.  
Replace the FILTER PACK.  
Note: The REPLACE PRE-FILTER and REPLACE FILTER PACK  
lights are a warning that the indicated filter 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 filters must be replaced within  
a reasonably short time period or they will clog and shut down  
electrical power to the cooktop. The ventilator blower will continue  
to run.  
5. When the red SERVICE REQUIRED light glows, either the  
pre-filter or filter pack (or both) is clogged and can no longer pass  
sufficient air to allow further operation. The ventilator fan continues  
to run, but the cooktop is shut down until the underlying clogged  
filter situation has been corrected. This can occur when neither  
CHANGE...FILTER indicator light is lit, if both pre-filter and filter  
pack are marginal. Replacing both the pre-filter and the filter pack  
will remedy the situation.  
Note: replacing the pre-filter, even though not very dirty, will often  
extend the service life of the more expensive filter pack.

Fill the FRYPOT with commercial-grade liquid shortening to the  
MIN OIL line.  
Capacity: 30 pounds (15 pounds each frypot).  
For best results, always use top grade commercial shortening  
made specifically for frying.  
Maintain proper oil level in frypot during operation.  
3. Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB to the desired  
temperature. The HEAT INDICATOR will glow. When the oil  
reaches the desired temperature, the heat indicator will go out. The  
heat indicator will go off and on during operation as the thermostat  
cycles to maintain temperature.  
For best results: DO NOT set temperature control to a temperature  
setting higher than is required for the food product.  
4. Load either or both baskets no more than 1/2 full with food product.  
DO NOT overload fry baskets. For best results, load baskets  
uniformly to half full. Hang the basket on the BASKET LIFT.
