W O L F G A S R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N S U R FAC E B U R N E R S A spark electrode ignites each surface burner. This control eliminates the need for continuous open flame pilots. For added safety and convenience, each burner is designed with an electronic reignition system. This feature enables any burner to relight automatically in the event it is accidentally extinguished.
W O L F G A S R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N CONTROL K N O B S The control knobs are positioned to correspond to the surface burners they regulate. Each knob is designed to be a ”push-to-turn” knob. Although this is a child-safe design, children should never be left unattended in the kitchen when the rangetop is in use. To light a surface burner, push in and turn the corresponding control knob counterclockwise to HIGH. You will hear a clicking sound. This is the electronic igniter.
W O L F G A S R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N FLAME HEIGHT A N D A P P E A R A N C E BEFORE USING YO U R R A N G E TO P Select a flame that is just high enough to maintain the desired cooking speed and is sized to fit the base diameter of the pan. Refer to the illustrations below. Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan. Before using for the first time, you should clean your gas rangetop thoroughly with hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
W O L F G A S R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N I N F R A R E D CHARBROILER This optional feature is designed with a 16,000 Btu/hr (4.7 kW) infrared burner to give the highest quality and most efficient method of gas grilling. The burner becomes an orangered color at the surface of the ceramic tile, and when it glows, it transfers an intense heat to the food. This sears the outside of the food, leaving the inside tender and juicy. The infrared burner is designed to operate at 100% heat output.
W O L F G A S R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N I N F R A R E D CHARBROILER C H A R B R O I L E R O P E R AT I O N IMPORTANT NOTE: The stainless steel cover must be removed prior to operation of the charbroiler.

Charbroiler Grate (stainless steel): When cool, lift off and set in the sink. Pour very hot water over the cooked-on residue. Cover with wet dish towels and pour more hot water over it. Allow the hot, moist conditions to help loosen the residue. Remove remaining food soil with a soapfilled scouring pad.
W O L F G A S R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N I N F R A R E D GRIDDLE The steel griddle plate operates at 18,000 Btu/hr (5.3 kW). It is thermostatically controlled, which means once the set temperature is reached, the heat cycles to hold that temperature. To prevent food from sticking and to protect the surface from moisture, it is necessary to ”season” the griddle prior to use. This seasoning process as well as general use will change the appearance of the griddle.
W O L F G A S R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N I N F R A R E D GRIDDLE CARE GRIDDLE C O O K I N G G U I D E Using a metal spatula, scrape grease into the grease collection tray. When the surface has cooled, wipe it with a paper towel to remove excess grease or oil. Scrape the griddle clean. Pour 1/2 cup (.1 L) warm water and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) griddle cleaner onto the griddle and scrape the grease into the grease collection tray. Rinse the griddle with 1/2 cup (.1 L) warm water and dry with paper towels.
W O L F G A S R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N FRENCH TO P The 15,000 Btu/hr (4.4 kW) French Top is an optional feature that provides a 22" (559) cooking surface with the hottest temperature under the center plate and the lowest temperature near the edges. This design makes it possible to use several pans at once for a variety of cooking tasks. For example, fry chicken toward the center, while simmering a sauce in one corner and keeping vegetables warm in a different corner.
