It may need to be reset after a prolonged power failure. The clock is visible on the control panel during all modes. If the upper oven timer is set, the clock will not be visible in the upper oven control panel display. Each oven has a timer which operates independently from the controls and from the other oven.
L Series Oven Operation 12 Oven Racks OVEN RACK GUIDES OVEN RACK ARRANGEMENT To insert the rack guides in the oven, locate the screws in the oven side walls. Place the rack guide mounting tabs over the screw heads and slide down until the screws are fully seated in the tabs. Refer to the illustration below. One of the factors affecting optimum cooking results is the level of rack placement in the oven. Rack position 1 is closest to the bottom and position 6 is closest to the top.
L Series Oven Operation 13 wolfappliance.com Cooking Modes and Features L series ovens feature ten cooking modes and multiple features for precise, easy-to-use control. Instructions for setting controls and tips for success are outlined for each mode and feature on the following pages. COOKING MODES AND FEATURES IMPORTANT NOTE: The cooking modes and features on the following pages outline the operation for a single oven.
L Series Oven Operation 14 Bake Mode In bake mode, both the hidden bake element and the broil element are used to heat the air, and they cycle on and off to maintain temperature. This mode is best for single-rack cooking, primarily baked foods. Always use bake mode for your standard recipes. The temperature probe may be used in this mode. Refer to the Wolf cooking guide on pages 34–36. Use cooking times as a guide for similar foods. SETTING CONTROLS 1) Touch desired oven ON. 2) Touch BAKE.
L Series Oven Operation 15 wolfappliance.com Roast Mode In roast mode, both bake and broil elements are used to heat the air, and they cycle on and off to maintain temperature. This is designed especially for roasting less tender cuts of meat that should be covered, such as chuck roasts, lamb shanks, pot roasts and stew meat. The temperature probe may be used in this mode. Refer to the Wolf cooking guide on pages 34–36. Use cooking times as a guide for similar foods.
L Series Oven Operation 16 Broil Mode In broil mode, the top heating element is used to produce an intense, radiant heat that browns one side of the food at a time. Broiled foods usually must be turned over to brown the other side and finish cooking. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry pieces up to 1" (25) thick. The temperature probe cannot be used with this mode. Refer to the Wolf cooking guide on pages 34–36.
L Series Oven Operation 17 wolfappliance.com Convection Bake Mode Convection bake mode combines heat from two convection elements with some heat from the bake element that is located beneath the oven floor. Two convection fans circulate this heat within the oven cavity. The added heat source from the bottom of the oven makes this mode ideal for pie baking. The temperature probe may be used in this mode. Refer to the Wolf cooking guide on pages 34–36. Use cooking times as a guide for similar foods.
L Series Oven Operation 18 Convection Roast Mode In convection roast mode, heat from both convection fans, with additional heat from the broil element, intensifies the convective and radiant heating. This combination gently browns the exterior and seals in juices, making it perfect for roasting tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork and poultry. The temperature probe may be used in this mode. Refer to the Wolf cooking guide on pages 34–36. Use cooking times as a guide for similar foods.
L Series Oven Operation 19 wolfappliance.com Convection Broil Mode In convection broil mode, intense radiant heat from the top element browns and sears the surface of the food while both convection fans circulate hot air around the food. This mode shortens broiling times for thicker cuts of meat, fish and poultry. The heat of the broiler browns the exterior, while the convection fans keep the interior moist and juicy. The temperature probe cannot be used with this mode.
L Series Oven Operation 20 Convection Mode In convection mode, dual convection fans, each with a heating element, operate from the back of the oven to move the heated air throughout the entire oven cavity. Uniform air movement makes it possible to multi-level rack cook in this mode. The heat is cycled on and off to maintain the temperature, resulting in evenly browned food. The temperature probe may be used in this mode. Refer to the Wolf cooking guide on pages 34–36.
L Series Oven Operation 21 wolfappliance.com Proof Mode In proof mode, a combination of broil and bake elements are used to heat and balance the air to maintain temperature. This mode is ideal for proofing, or rising bread dough. SETTING CONTROLS 1) Place dough in oven-safe dish in oven. 2) Touch desired oven ON. WOLF TIPS FOR SUCCESS • No need to preheat for proof mode. • Proof bread until dough has doubled in bulk. • For best results, place a shallow pan with 1 to 3 cups (.2–.
L Series Oven Operation 22 Bake Stone Mode A specially designed rack and bake stone are used for bake stone mode to assure the food quality expected from this specific form of cooking. To produce a hot oven environment necessary for baking on a ceramic stone, the heat from all elements creates the perfect “brick oven” effect. Both convection fans help circulate the air throughout the oven cavity, so even temperatures are achieved. The temperature probe may be used in this mode.
L Series Oven Operation 23 wolfappliance.com Bake Stone Mode SETTING CONTROLS BAKE STONE ACCESSORY 1) Touch desired oven ON. The bake stone accessory is available through your authorized Wolf dealer. For local dealer information, visit the find a showroom section of our website, wolfappliance.com. Additional use & care information is provided with the bake stone accessory. 2) Touch BAKE STONE. Oven temperature is preset at 400°F (205°C). Oven begins to heat after 5 seconds.
L Series Oven Operation 24 Dehydration Mode Dehydration mode allows for slowly drying out food for preservation and other cooking uses. Use the convection mode for dehydration. Wolf accessory dehydration racks (not included with the oven) are required. This mode is suitable for drying a variety of fruits, vegetables, herbs and meat strips. SETTING CONTROLS IMPORTANT NOTE: As a safety feature, the L series oven will shut off after 12 hours. Dehydration mode overrides the 12-hour shut off.
L Series Oven Operation 25 wolfappliance.com Delayed Start Feature Delayed start feature controls the automatic timing of the oven’s ON and OFF function. Set a mode to start later in the day and shut off when the cooking is complete or set it to shut off at a preset time. Use in combination with any cooking mode except broil, convection broil and bake stone. WOLF TIPS FOR SUCCESS • Ovens can be set independently. • Do not delay the start when preheating is critical to the cooking results.
L Series Oven Operation 26 Temperature Probe Feature The temperature probe measures doneness by measuring the internal temperature of food without opening the oven door. It is a convenient and accurate way to achieve the perfect doneness regardless of the type, cut or weight of the food. Calculating a total cooking time by weight is no longer necessary using this feature. Use with all modes except broil and convection broil modes.
L Series Oven Operation 27 wolfappliance.com Temperature Probe Feature SETTING CONTROLS FOR MEATS SETTING CONTROLS FOR BREADS 1) Preheat oven to desired oven temperature in desired mode. 1) Preheat oven to desired oven temperature in bake or bake stone mode. 2) Place meat on a rack in the roasting pan. Insert the probe sensor into the thickest part of the meat as described in tips for success on the previous page. 2) Place bread on bake stone or in oven in bread pans.

L Series Oven Operation 30 Self-Clean Feature With the self-clean feature, the oven is heated in graduated steps to a high preset temperature. During this process, food soil is burned off, leaving some white ash residue. For safety, the oven door automatically locks during self-clean and unlocks when the oven has cooled to below 300°F (150°C). If you stop the self-clean cycle before completion, the door will remain locked until the oven has cooled sufficiently.
