I N T R O D U C I N G WO L F G A S B B Q G R I L L S T H A N K YO U Your purchase of a Wolf BBQ grill attests to the importance you place upon the quality and performance of your cooking equipment. We understand this importance and have designed and built your grill with quality materials and workmanship to give you years of dependable service. We know you are eager to start grilling, but before you do, please take some time to read this Use & Care Information.
S A F E T Y INSTRUCTIONS AND PREC AUTIONS W H AT TO D O IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all instructions before using this appliance. Make certain your unit is properly installed and connected to the gas your unit was designed for. Do not use LP gas in a natural gas unit or vice versa. Do not use charcoal, wood chips or other material in your grill. Make certain the installer shows you where the gas shut-off valve is so you can shut off the gas supply in an emergency.
W H A T N OT TO D O Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill. Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure. When using the grill, do not touch the grill grates, open burner grates or immediate surrounding areas. These surfaces become extremely hot and could cause burns.

Below the heavy-duty grill grates are the stainless steel heat radiants located every 5" (127). These radiants, provided with the BBQ grill, are positioned over the grill burners to concentrate the heat. Refer to the illustrations below. The radiants are supported on each end by a pin located just above the grill burner.
WO L F GAS BBQ GRILL U S E & C A R E FLAME A D J U S T M E N T BEFORE L I G H T I N G IMPORTANT NOTE: Your Wolf BBQ grill is preadjusted for the gas you specified when you purchased your unit, either natural or LP gas. Prior to turning on the gas, inspect the gas supply piping or hose. Look for evidence of abrasion, cuts, wear and tear, or other damage that could require replacement prior to use. Only use the supplied regulator and hose. Make sure all burner control knobs are in the OFF position.
WO L F GAS BBQ GRILL U S E & C A R E LIGHTING T H E B B Q G R I L L Open the hood. Push in and turn the gas control knob counterclockwise to HIGH. Keep your face as far away from the burners as possible. Press and hold the ignition button that corresponds with the gas control knob until the burner lights. Listen for a ”woosh” sound. If the burner does not light after approximately five seconds, turn the control knob to the OFF position. Wait five minutes until the gas clears.
WO L F GAS BBQ GRILL U S E & C A R E LIGHTING T H E ROT I S S E R I E B U R N E R M A N UA L L I G H T I N G The position of the infrared rotisserie burner makes it more susceptible to being blown out; the rotisserie should not be used during windy conditions or in an unprotected area. For this reason, the burner is equipped with a safety valve that will prevent the burner from operating unless the pilot is lit. Grill burners: You may manually light the grill burners with the match/lanyard holder.
WO L F GAS BBQ GRILL U S E & C A R E USING T H E ROT I S S E R I E The Wolf BBQ grill rotisserie system uses infrared heat to cook items from the back. The intensity of this radiant heat sears in the natural juices, while the motor turns the meat for even cooking and self-basting. After lighting, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in approximately two minutes. The red-orange glow will even out in about five minutes.

Insert the rod through the bird, pressing it onto the prong. Cut a piece of butcher string approximately 18" (457) long (adjust length according to the size of the bird). Place the bird over the center of the string as shown in illustration 1 below. Bring the ends of the string up over the wings.
WO L F GAS BBQ GRILL U S E & C A R E USING T H E B B Q G R I L L Refer to the Wolf BBQ Grilling Guide on pages 17–20 to select grilling method: direct, indirect or rotisserie. Light the BBQ grill according to directions on page 9. Preheat the grill for 10 minutes on HIGH with hood closed. Set burners at the desired level. If cooking with indirect heat, turn off the burners that are under the food. Refer to the Wolf BBQ Grilling Guide on pages 17–20 to estimate grilling time.
WO L F GAS BBQ GRILL U S E & C A R E TIPS F O R S U C C E S S F U L G R I L L I N G B AT T E RY I N S T A L L A T I O N Baste meat with barbecue sauce or other sugar-based sauces only during the last few minutes of cooking to prevent burning. The battery-powered ignition uses a AAA battery, provided with the BBQ grill, to be installed behind each ignition button. Brush vegetables and lean cuts of meat, skinless poultry, fish and seafood with oil to prevent sticking.
WO L F GAS BBQ GRILL U S E & C A R E CLEANING A N D M A I N T E N A N C E Correct care and maintenance will keep your Wolf BBQ grill operating smoothly. Clean internal parts of the grill regularly, as determined by the amount of use and type of foods cooked. Clean the entire grill each year. Cleaning should be done where detergents will not stain or harm your outdoor surface, whether it be cement or grass. EXTERIOR CLEANING Most of the Wolf BBQ grill is made of heavy duty stainless steel.
WO L F GAS BBQ GRILL U S E & C A R E CLEANING A N D M A I N T E N A N C E CLEANING THE BURNERS Spiders or small insects may spin webs or build nests inside the burners, especially in late summer and fall when spiders are most active. These nests can obstruct gas flow and cause a fire in and around the valve. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to your BBQ grill. To help prevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, clean and inspect the burners once or twice a month.
