Before you order

- Confirm the pan sizes the wells or shelves accept match the pans you already own.
- For wet-well units, plan how you will fill and drain the water.
- Measure the space, including room to load and serve.
Common mistakes to avoid
Common mistakes include using holding equipment to reheat cold food, running wet wells dry, and choosing a unit by its length without checking how many pans it actually holds.
Care and maintenance
- Drain and clean wells at the end of each day.
- Descale wet wells if your water is hard.
- Check with a thermometer that the controls hold the set temperature.
