Brand New – Wells 5P-MOD200TDM – Two-Well Top-Mount Drop-In Food Warmer – Thermostatic Controls, Drains & Manifold – 208/240V!

Condition

New – Unused – Original Distressed Box

This genuine Wells food warmer is new and unused in its original manufacturer packaging.

The exterior cardboard box shows substantial warehouse and shipping wear, including crushed sections, torn cardboard, open upper flaps, tape, surface dirt, abrasions, handwritten markings, label wear, and general storage damage.

The supplied photographs do not show the actual stainless steel warmer removed from the carton. The product photograph is a reference image representing the MOD200TDM configuration and should not be considered a photograph of the exact unpacked unit.

Because the internal contents are not fully visible, all loose components should be inventoried before installation. Confirm that the dual thermostatic control panel, capillary tubes, electrical wiring, drain manifold, drain valve, mounting hardware, Wellslok components, instructions, and all required fittings remain inside the package.

The distressed condition of the outer cardboard packaging does not automatically indicate damage to the equipment inside. However, the warmer must be unpacked and inspected before shipment, pickup, installation, or energizing.

Please review all supplied photographs for the exact condition of the original packaging.

Description

The Wells 5P-MOD200TDM is a heavy-duty commercial drop-in food warmer designed for installation in a fabricated serving counter, buffet line, cafeteria line, restaurant pass, catering counter, concession stand, or other compatible commercial foodservice fixture.

It contains two rectangular wells that accept two standard 12-inch x 20-inch full-size inset pans or compatible fractional-pan combinations.

Each well has its own remote thermostatic control, allowing two different foods to be held at different heat settings. This is especially useful when one well contains a dense entrée or sauce while the other holds vegetables, soup, gravy, pasta, rice, or another product with different holding requirements.

The unit is designed for either wet or dry operation. Wells recommends wet operation for more consistent heating and improved heat transfer. During wet operation, hot water is placed in the warming well below the inset food pan.

A drain in each well allows water to be removed after operation. Both drains connect to a common manifold so the two wells can be emptied through a shared drain-valve arrangement.

The fully insulated housing helps reduce heat loss, improve energy efficiency, support faster preheating, and protect surrounding counter components from unnecessary heat exposure.

Wells confirms that the MOD200 series accommodates two 12-inch x 20-inch pans, supports wet or dry operation, and uses individual controls, insulated construction, high-limit protection, and tubular heating elements. Official Wells MOD200 product information: https://wells-mfg.com/product/mod200/

Food-Pan Capacity

Number of Wells: 2

Full-Size Pan Capacity: Two 12 in x 20 in Food Pans

Maximum Common Pan Depth: Up to Approximately 6 Inches, Subject to Pan and Counter Configuration

Compatible configurations may include:

Two full-size 12 in x 20 in pans

Four half-size pans

Six third-size pans

Eight quarter-size pans

Other compatible fractional-pan combinations

Round inset pans when used with appropriate adapter tops

Actual capacity depends on the size, depth, flange design, and arrangement of the pans and adapters selected.

Food pans must fit correctly inside the warmer without placing excessive pressure on the stainless steel well or top flange.

Suitable Foods

Soups

Chili

Gravy

Sauces

Rice

Pasta

Mashed potatoes

Vegetables

Beans

Macaroni and cheese

Cooked meats

Cooked poultry

Prepared entrées

Casseroles

Breakfast items

Hot toppings

Curry

Stews

Hot side dishes

Other previously cooked food products suitable for commercial hot holding

This warmer is designed for holding food that has already been properly cooked and heated.

It should not be used as the primary appliance for cooking raw food, reheating refrigerated food, thawing frozen food, or rapidly bringing cold food through the food-safety temperature range.

Heating System

Two independently heated food wells

One tubular heating element beneath each well

Powerful under-pan heating arrangement

Even heat distribution across each warming pan

Individual thermostatic temperature regulation

Separate temperature-ready indicator for each well

High-limit over-temperature protection

Fully insulated sides, front, back, and bottom

Wet or dry operating capability

Wet operation recommended for the most consistent results

The tubular elements are positioned beneath the stainless steel warming pans to provide efficient heat transfer without exposing the elements directly to food or cleaning tools.

Thermostatic Controls

Control Type: Dual Remote Thermostatic Controls

Number of Controls: 2

Control Arrangement: One Control per Well

Control Location: Remotely Mounted Front Control Panel

Indicator Lights: Individual Temperature-Ready Indicators

Safety Protection: High-Limit Protection for Each Heating Circuit

The separate controls allow one well to be switched off or operated at a different setting from the other well.

The remote control assembly must be installed in the counter according to the manufacturer’s required orientation, spacing, ventilation, and capillary-tube routing instructions.

Thermostat capillary tubes must not be sharply bent, crushed, shortened, kinked, or placed against damaging heat sources.

Wet or Dry Operation

The MOD200TDM is designed for wet or dry use.

Wet Operation

Wells recommends wet operation for the most consistent food heating.

Add approximately one inch of hot tap water to each required well before energizing the warmer.

Check the water level regularly and add hot water as necessary.

Wet operation generally provides gentler and more even heat transfer around the inset food pan.

Dry Operation

The warmer may be operated without water when appropriate for the food product and pan configuration.

Dry operation may produce different heating characteristics and requires careful monitoring of food temperature.

Critical Operating Rule

Do not change a hot well directly from wet operation to dry operation or from dry operation to wet operation.

Turn the well off and allow it to cool to room temperature before changing operating methods.

Never add water to an overheated empty well. Rapid cooling can damage or deform the warming pan and may create a steam or burn hazard.

The operating precautions are confirmed in the official Wells built-in modular warmer manual: https://wells-mfg.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/C_M200-thru-M527_-_2M-Z16298-C-011C.pdf.

Drain and Manifold System

Two drained stainless steel wells

One drain for each well

Drain screens for compatible drain assemblies

Shared drain manifold

Single-point manifold drainage arrangement

Remote drain-valve positioning depending on counter design

The Wells sales literature describes the MOD200 series drain-equipped models as having 1/2-inch well drains. The final manifold outlet, valve, and field drain-line sizes must be confirmed from the components packed with this specific assembly before the counter or plumbing is fabricated.

The drain system is intended for removing clean warming water. It is not designed as a food-waste disposer.

Do not pour grease, solid food, utensils, cleaning pads, packaging, or other debris into the wells or drains.
