W O L F S E A L E D B U R N E R R A N G E TO P T H A N K YO U Your purchase of a Wolf sealed burner rangetop 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 rangetop with quality materials and workmanship to give you years of dependable service. We know you are eager to start cooking, but before you do, please take some time to read this Use & Care Information.
S A F E T Y INSTRUCTIONS AND PREC AUTIONS T H E R A N G E TO P IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all instructions before using this appliance. Read this Use & Care Information carefully before using your new Wolf sealed burner rangetop to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons. Ensure proper installation and servicing. This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Have your installer show you where the fuse or junction box is located in your home.
TO P S U R FA C E BURNERS Have your installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located in your home. Learn how and where to turn off the gas to the rangetop. Always check the positions of the control knobs to make certain the rangetop and top surface burners are off when you are finished cooking. Before performing any service, turn off the gas supply by closing the gas shut-off valve and turn off the electricity.
S A F E T Y INSTRUCTIONS AND PREC AUTIONS TO P S U R FA C E BURNERS Do not clean the rangetop while it is still hot. If using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until the rangetop has cooled sufficiently to prevent steam burns. Also, some cleaners can produce harmful or unpleasant fumes if applied to hot surfaces. Refer to Care Recommendations on pages 22–23. Always set pans gently onto the grates and center them so that they are well balanced.
SAFETY P R E C A U T I O N S CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A RANGETOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: Smother flames with a closefitting lid, baking sheet or other metal tray; then turn off the gas burner. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, evacuate and call the fire department. Burning gas cooking fuel generates some by-products that are on the list of substances known to cause cancer or reproductive harm.

W O L F S E A L E D B U R N E R 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. Manually relight each burner individually.
W O L F S E A L E D B U R N E R 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 burners they regulate. The knobs on the far left regulate the burners on the left side. Conversely, the knobs on the far right regulate the burners on the right side.

W O L F S E A L E D B U R N E R 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. Never extend the flame beyond the base of the pan. Smaller diameter pans should be used on the left rear burner. Before using for the first time, you should clean your rangetop thoroughly with hot water and a mild detergent.
W O L F S E A L E D B U R N E R 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 an infrared burner to give the highest quality and most efficient method of gas grilling. A radiant plate with numerous holes distributes the heat evenly over the grate. 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.

Follow these steps to disassemble the charbroiler for cleaning: Turn the knob counterclockwise to HIGH. Preheat charbroiler for about 10 minutes before adding the food. The ceramic tiles will have an orange-red glow.
W O L F S E A L E D B U R N E R 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 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 (porcelain-coated cast iron): When cool, lift off and set in the sink. Use a soft bristle brush to remove food particles from the grate. Pour very hot water over the cooked-on residue. Cover with wet dish towels and pour more hot water over it.
W O L F S E A L E D B U R N E R 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 S E A L E D B U R N E R 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 GRIDDLE CARE 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. Empty the grease collection tray. Rinse the griddle with 1/2 cup (.
W O L F S E A L E D B U R N E R R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N F R E N C H 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 S E A L E D B U R N E R R A N G E T O P 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 operation of 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 until you hear the clicking sound of the igniter lighting the burner. When you hear the burner ignite, turn the knob clockwise to the HIGH setting.
W O L F S E A L E D B U R N E R R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N F R E N C H TO P F R E N C H TO P C A R E It is best to maintain a seasoned surface to protect the cast iron from moisture. Allow the French Top surface to cool sufficiently before cleaning. Clean entire surface after each use while it is slightly warm. Wipe the surface with a mild detergent (e.g., Dawn) and water. Rinse and dry. Maintain the French Top as you would a cast iron skillet; keep it free from moisture.
W O L F S E A L E D B U R N E R R A N G E T O P O P E R AT I O N C O O K 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. Look for pans that are made of materials with good heat conductivity, such as aluminum and copper. These metals are sometimes found ”sandwiched” between the inner and outer layers of the pan. If present, whether visible from the outside or not, they aid in evenly conducting heat.

Food boils or burns in one area of the pan more than other areas Pan is not centered above the burner. Pan material does not conduct heat evenly. Base of pan is warped and does not rest flat on the grate, or handle of pan is too heavy and tips pan toward handle.
