Frequently Asked Questions - B50 Wells

How do I properly season the griddle before first use?
Clean the surface with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat to 350°F for 15 minutes. Wipe off excess oil.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The thermostat can be set up to 450°F (232°C). For searing, preheat at high; for holding, reduce to 200°F.
How do I clean the grease trough?
Pull out the front grease drawer and empty it. Wash with warm soapy water or run through a dishwasher if rated. Dry before reinserting.
Can I use metal utensils on the griddle?
Yes, the polished steel surface is durable. However, avoid excessive force to prevent scratching. Use flat spatulas for best results.
What do I do if the griddle doesn't heat up?
Check power supply and ensure the control knob is turned to a temperature setting. If still no heat, inspect the heating element or thermostat; contact a qualified technician.
Is the griddle suitable for outdoor use?
No, this model is designed for indoor commercial use only. It is not weatherproof and should be kept in a dry, ventilated area.
How often should I deep clean the griddle?
Perform a deep clean weekly or as needed. Use a grill stone or scraper to remove carbon buildup, then wipe down and re-season the surface.
Can I cook acidic foods like tomatoes on the griddle?
Yes, but prolonged contact may dull the surface. Cook quickly and clean immediately after to maintain the seasoning.
What spare parts are commonly needed?
Commonly replaced parts include the thermostat control, heating elements, and the grease drawer assembly. Contact Wells for genuine parts.
How do I adjust the thermostat if temperature is inaccurate?
Remove the knob and use a small screwdriver to turn the calibration screw inside. Clockwise increases temperature, counterclockwise decreases. Test with a surface thermometer.
