Contact your Wolf dealer for details.
W O L F G A S R A N G E S U R FAC E 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. B U R N E R A S S E M B LY Each surface burner provides a rating of 16,000 Btu/hr (4.7 kW) on HIGH with 500 Btu/hr (.
W O L F G A S R A N G E S U R FAC E 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 range 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 S U R FAC E 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 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 range 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 S U R FAC E O P E R AT I O N I N F R A R E D CHARBROILER This optional feature is designed with an infrared burner to give the highest quality and most efficient method of gas grilling. The burner becomes an orange-red 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 16,000 Btu/hr (4.
W O L F G A S R A N G E S U R FAC E 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. C H A R B RO I L I N G T I P S Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using the charbroiler. Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the HIGH setting. You will hear the clicking sound of the igniter lighting the burner.
W O L F G A S R A N G E S U R FAC E O P E R AT I O N I N F R A R E D CHARBROILER C H A R B RO I L E R C A R E To keep the charbroiler looking its best, it is recommended that you clean it after every use. 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 S U R FAC E 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 S U R FAC E 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 (118 ml) warm water and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) griddle cleaner onto the griddle and scrape the grease into the grease collection tray.
W O L F G A S R A N G E S U R FAC E 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.
W O L F G A S R A N G E S U R FAC E O P E R AT I O N FRENCH TO P F R E N C H T O P O P E R AT I O N IMPORTANT NOTE: The stainless steel cover must be removed prior to operating the French Top. Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using the French Top. To use the French Top, push and turn the control knob counterclockwise to the HIGH setting. You will hear the clicking sound of the igniter lighting the burner. Preheat for 25 to 30 minutes before cooking on the French Top.
W O L F G A S R A N G E OV E N O P E R AT I O N OV E N O P E R A T I O N OV E N O P E R A T I O N C O N V E C T I O N V S S TA N D A R D OV E N C O N T RO L S In the Wolf convection oven, a motorized fan positioned in the rear of the oven circulates heat from the bake burner below the oven floor. This provides more even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity. Convection cooking is preferred for tender cuts of meat and poultry, air-leavened baked foods, breads, cakes and cookies.
W O L F G A S R A N G E OV E N O P E R AT I O N OV E N O P E R A T I O N BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME O V E N P R E H E AT Before using the oven of your gas range for the first time, set the oven thermostat at 250˚F (120˚C) and operate for one hour. At the end of the hour, reset the oven to 500˚F (260˚C) and heat for a second hour. Turn off the oven at the conclusion of the second hour. Allow oven to cool gradually with the door(s) closed.
W O L F G A S R A N G E OV E N O P E R AT I O N O V E N R AC K S Each large oven of the gas range has three heavy-duty racks. The small, non-convection oven on 48" (1219) models has two oven racks. Each oven rack has a rack stop that prevents it from accidentally sliding completely out of the oven. One of the factors affecting optimum cooking results is the level of rack placement in the oven. Oven rack position 1 is closest to the bottom and position 5 is closest to the top.
W O L F G A S R A N G E OV E N O P E R AT I O N R OA S T I N G T I P S Refer to the Convection Roasting Guide on page 31. The suggested cooking times are based on using a preheated oven. Convection roasting is recommended for most meats because of the beautiful browning on the outside while the juices are retained on the inside. Roast tender cuts of meat using the convection setting. Always use a roasting rack in an open, low-sided pan.
W O L F G A S R A N G E OV E N O P E R AT I O N O V E N BROILER All Wolf gas range ovens have an infrared broiler, except for the small oven on the 48" (1219) gas range models. The 18,000 Btu/hr (5.3 kW) broiler is located inside the oven. The broil burner heats a metal screen at the top of the oven cavity. When the screen reaches a reddish glow, it creates enough infrared heat to broil food by searing the exterior and sealing in the juices.
WO L F G A S R A N G E CARE C O O K WA R E S E L E C T I O N B A K E WA R E S E L E C T I O N For best results, we recommend medium- to heavy-weight pans that have a flat base, metal handle and a good-fitting cover. For best results, we recommend commercial or good-quality cookware. Always use flat-bottom pans. Warped pans may cause uneven baking results. Select the size of the pan recommended in the recipe. Pans that are too small or too large for the quantity of food affect the cooking results.
WO L F G A S R A N G E CARE OV E N L I G H T B U L B R E P L A C E M E N T RANGE CLEANING TIPS Turn off electrical power to the oven before replacing light bulb. ACCESSORIES IMPORTANT NOTE: Allow the oven to cool sufficiently before replacing the light bulb. Optional accessories are available through your Wolf dealer. To obtain local dealer information, visit the Locator section of our website, wolfappliance.com. The oven(s) of the gas range contain a standard 40-watt light bulb (part #3030030).
