THEORY OF OPERATION
A service technician should understand how a gas appliance operates before attempting to service the appliance. This section provides descriptions of the different types of fuel gases and explains gas heating values. A definition of specific gravity of gas is given along with its characteristics and effects. Gas combustion principles are explained and gas burner components are described and illustrated. The end of this section contains illustrations which demonstrate basic cooking appliance theory of operation.
Types of Fuel Gas:
Gases used to supply heat energy are called fuel gases. Common fuel gases are not simply one kind of hydrocar­bon, they are mixtures of hydrocarbon gases. They contain other gases as well, such as free hydrogen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen. As an example, natural gas might contain 85% methane, 12% ethane and 3% of other gases. The presence of each of these gases in the fuel gas has some effect on the nature of the gas.
Some common fuel gasses are methane [CH
4], ethane [C2H6], Propane [C3H8] and butane [C4H10]. Propane and
butane are nearly odorless. Natural gas that is processed to remove condensables and moisture, has little or no odor and no color. Odorants are added to natural gas before distribution to aid in leak detection. A common odorant used is a colorless liquid containing sulfur compounds.
Heating Value of Gas:
Heat energy produced when burning a fuel gas is commonly expressed in British Thermal Units (BTU). One BTU of heat will raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit.
The more carbon and hydrogen atoms in each molecule of a fuel gas, the higher its heating value. Natural gas which is high in methane has a heating value of about 950 to 1150 BTU per cubic foot. The variance is due to the various other substances found in natural gases. The more ethane, propane or butane in the gas raises the heating value. Propane, or LP gas, has a heating value of about 2500-2800 BTU per cubic foot, and butane about 3200 BTU per cubic foot.
Specific Gravity of Gas:
The specific gravity of a gas is the weight of one cubic foot, or the gas compared to one cubic foot of dry air. When stating the specific gravity of a gas, a pressure and temperature must be clearly stated. In the gas industry, the standard conditions of pressure and temperature are 30.0 inches of mercury and 60° F. A pressure of 30.0 inches of mercury will sustain a column of mercury 30 inches high in a tube with a vacuum on top of the column. Since air is used as the reference, its specific gravity is always 1.0. This value of 1.0 has no direct physical meaning with regard to air, such as its density. It is only a relative number or ratio used to express specific gravity of other gases.
The specific gravity of a gas will determine if the gas will rise or fall when released into the air. Natural gas will rise since its specific gravity is less than 1.0 at 0.4 to 0.8. Propane has a specific gravity of 1.5 and butane 2.0. These gases will fall when released into the air. They sometimes collect in low spots into pools which become a hazard if open flames are present.
In addition, specific gravity has two other characteristics. It has an important effect on the flow of gases through ori­fices, and hence the rating of the burners. Gas flow through an orifice is dependent upon the orifice size and the gas pressure upstream of the orifice. More of a lighter gas will flow through a given orifice size than a heavier gas at the same gas pressure. This effect is taken into account in tables and calculators used to select orifice sizes for burners.
Specific gravity also affects gas flow in pipes. A given driving pressure at a pipe inlet will move more lighter gas than heavier gas through that pipe.
Theory of Operation

OUTDOOR BBBQ GGRILLS
Principles of Gas Combustion:
Combustion - When oxygen acts with a substance to produce large amounts of heat rapidly.
Requirements for Combustion - There are three required elements for combustion to occur; Fuel (Gas), Oxygen
(Air) and Heat (Ignition Temperature, which for gas is between 1100°F/593°C and 1200°F/649°C). All must be pres­ent. Removing any one of the three and combustion will cease.
Chemistry of Combustion - Combustion of gas is a chemical reaction between fuel gas and oxygen. The basic elements of common fuel gasses are hydrogen [H] and carbon [C]. When hydrogen burns, water vapor [H
2O] is pro-
duced. Complete burning of carbon in fuel gases form carbon dioxide [CO2] and water vapor [H2
O].
Controlled Combustion - Controlled combustion takes place when gas and air are supplied at proper rates to assure complete combustion of the gas in a steady flame. When a gas appliance is operating properly, burning starts at the burner ports. Gas flow is controlled by gas orifice size and gas pressure upstream of the orifice. Air is mixed with the gas before it passes through the burner ports. This added air is called “Primary Air”. The remaining air required for complete combustion is supplied to the burner at the point of combustion and is called “Secondary Air”.
Adjustments of the gas-to-air ratio and the secondary air supply is the key to obtaining stable blue flames at a burn­er. Proper amounts of primary and secondary air are required for quiet and efficient burner operation and for com­plete combustion of the gas. Air Shutters or other devices provide control of primary air. Inlet opening and flue out­lets control Secondary Air flow.
Total air - In an ideal situation, primary and secondary air is all that is needed (for the oxygen required) to burn the gas, but some additional air is required to assure complete burning of the gas. The total air, “primary”, “secondary” and “excess” are expressed as percentages of the amount needed. About ten cubic feet of air is required to com­pletely burn one cubic foot of gas. For this reason an appliance should not be operated in an air tight home.
Limits of Flammability - Not all air-to-gas mixtures will burn. Mixtures with 0% - 4% natural gas in air are too lean to burn. Mixtures of 4% - 14% natural gas in air can burn with a controlled flame. Flammability limits come into play when primary air adjustments are made on burners. If too much primary air is used, the mixture may become too lean and fall below flammability limits, thus preventing combustion.
Incomplete Combustion (Causes and Effects) - To obtain complete combustion, sufficient amounts of air must be supplied to the process. This air must have a reasonably normal oxygen content. Complete burning of gas pro­duces harmless carbon dioxide gas and water vapor. If the air supply is insufficient, incomplete combustion occurs resulting in the formation of toxic by-products, such as carbon monoxide [CO] or aldehydes.
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless. Inhaling carbon monoxide in sufficient quantities could cause death by reducing oxygen levels in the blood.
Aldehydes, which are equally dangerous, have a sharp and penetrating odor which is easily detected by smell at very low concentrations. The odor caused by aldehydes should not be confused with odorants added to natural gas. The absence of aldehydes does not assure that carbon monoxide is not present. However, if the odor of aldehydes is present, then carbon monoxide is virtually always present.
Gas Burner Operation - A gas burner is a device to burn gas under control in order to produce useful heat.
Primary air is brought into the burner from outside of the appliance at atmospheric pressure. The gas jet streaming from the orifice draws primary air with it into the burner.
The gas/air mixture, combined with a spark at the burner port(s) and the secondary air creates a controlled burn.
OUTDOOR BBBQ GGRILLS
Theory of Operation
2-4
Burner Components:
Gas Orifice - An opening or hole which regulates or limits the amount of gas flowing to a burner. Gas flow rate (vol-
ume) depends on the size of the orifice (hole) and the gas pressure at the inlet of the orifice.
Air Shutter - This is used to adjust the size of the primary air inlet area and therefore controls primary air flow.
Venturi Tube - A section of pipe at the inlet of the burner body that narrows and then flares out again. This tube
helps maintain a proper and constant primary air injection.
Mixing Tube/Throat - Serves to carry the gas/air mixture from the venturi tube to the burner body.
Burner Body - The accumulation chamber below the burner base which allows the gas and air to mix together fully.
Burner Head - The component containing the burner ports where the gas/air mixture ignites. The burner ports are
distributed in a useful pattern to optimize heat transfer. The flames should be spread so they can be easily reached by secondary air and provide a stable blue flame.

Types of Burners:
Blue Flame Burners - All Wolf BBQ burners are blue flame burners. With this type of burner, primary air is mixed
with the fuel gas before the gas reaches the burner ports. An orifice is used to regulate gas flow to the burner. Air which is mixed with the gas inside of the burner body enters through openings in the burner body. A shutter or ven­turi tube is used to adjust the size of these openings and control the primary air. Gas and air mix in the mixing tube or throat, which then exits the burner ports where it is ignited. Secondary air is air from around the flames. The flame produced has several zones, each represents a stage in burning of the gas. The burner tip has a thin dark blue cone called the inner or primary cone. A lighter cone called the outer cone, surrounds the inner cone. Air around the flame diffuses into the flame to burn at the outer cone. If conditions are perfect, products from the inner cone burn here. The final products of burning are carbon dioxide and water vapor. An outer mantle surrounds the outer cone where burning is usually completed. It is nearly invisible and glows only because of the high temperature of the final combustion.
Infrared Burner - All Wolf gas BBQ’s use an infrared burner for the rotisserie. This infrared burner is a porous refractory ceramic tile burner, similar to the infrared burner used in the ranges and cooktops. (See Figure 2-4) With infrared heat, thermal energy is transmitted through space without heating the medium through which it travels. Infrared energy is usually not affected by air flowing between the burners and heated surfaces because of the burn­er’s numerous and tiny flames. This type of heat is very efficient and compact. The refractory ceramic infrared burner requires 100 percent primary air and is designed to have a hot glowing burner surface. The flame burns close to the burner surface at a high temperature.
NOTE: There is not a shutter on infrared burners for adjusting the primary air.

Operation of the Wolf BBQ Grill
About the Wolf BBQ
The grill grates are composed of five-inch heavy duty porcelain cast iron and are designed for easy handling and cleaning. Just below the grill surface are the stainless steel heat radiants which concentrate the heat. The Wolf BBQ design eliminates the use of briquettes or lava rock. BBQ burners produce 10,000 BTU/hr and are located every five inches across the bottom of the unit. The optional open top side burners are rated at 16,00BTU/hr and have a spark igniter for rotary knob lighting.
Lighting Instructions
The Wolf BBQ Grill is pre-set for the gas specified when the unit is purchased, either natural or LP gas. The properly adjusted flame should have a bluish-green inner cone and a dark blue outer mantle. The flame should be clean and soft with no yellow tips. Blowing or lifting of the flame should not occur. If the air shutters are not visible as in Fig. 2-5, the shutter adjustment is made by loosening the air shutter screw, setting then retightening.
(This should give you proper mixture of the air and gas.)
Before Lighting
Prior to lighting, inspect the gas supply piping or hose. Look for evidence of abrasion, cuts, wear and tear, or other damage which would require replacement prior to use. Make sure all burner control knobs are in the OFF position. Do not attempt to light the burners if the smell of gas is present. Make sure there is gas in the cylinder and the cylinder is upright. Make sure all radiants are positioned properly over the grill burners.
Lighting the Grill
1. Open the hood.
2. Push in the gas control knob for the grill and turn counter clockwise to HIGH.
3. Keep your face as far away from the burners as possible.
4. Turn the black igniter knob clockwise which corresponds with the gas control knob you have turned on until you hear a loud click. Repeat immediately if the burner does not light on the first try.
5. Listen for a “whoosh” sound. If the burner does not light by the fourth attempt with the igniter, turn the control knob to the OFF position. Wait five minutes until the gas clears.
6. Repeat the procedure or refer to the Manual Lighting Procedure.
7. If the burner is lit, you can see flames by looking through a series of holes just above the control knob of the corresponding burner.
8. Upon successful lighting, repeat the process on the other burners as needed
Lighting the Open Burners
1. Remove the open burner cover or any utensils from the grate.
2. Follow the steps as above in lighting the grill.
NOTE: The front and rear open burners are lit by a single electrode. The igniter knob is the same for the front and
rear open burners.
Lighting the Rotisserie Burner
The position of the infrared rotisserie burner makes it more susceptible to be blown out and should not be used if windy conditions prevail or in an unprotected area. For this reason the burner is equipped with a safety valve which will not allow the burner to operate unless the pilot is lit.
1. Open the hood and remove the rotisserie burner cover.
2. Push in and turn the rotisserie gas control knob to HIGH.
3. After 15 to 30 seconds, turn the rotary igniter knob clockwise until a clicking sound is heard. (This will give the gas enough time to travel through the tubing to the pilot at the left corner of the burner.)
4. Once the pilot is lit, the burner will light in approximately 30 seconds. The flame is not visible but will give off heat and a red-orange glow after a few minutes.

Manual Lighting Procedure
You may manually light the grill burners by inserting the match/lanyard holder or a butane lighter into the 1/2” diame­ter hole above the grill valve knob (Fig. 2-6). Position the match or the lighter tip near the burner ports, push and turn the knob counter clockwise to HIGH and light the burner. Repeat for the other burners.
The open burners can be lit directly from the top along the orifice holes around the burner heads. (Fig. 2-8)
The rotisserie burner must be lit at the pilot. Once the pilot is lit, the burner will light within 30 seconds. (Fig. 2-7)

Cleaning and Maintenance
Burner Grates
The grates are composed of durable cast iron with a porcelain enamel finish. Operating the grill on High for a few minutes after cooking will help to burn off any excess food. The wire brush included with the BBQ can be used to clean the grill grates. Once the grates have cooled, they can be lifted off and sprayed with a commercial grill and stainless cleaner. They must be rinsed and dried before they are put back into place.
Open Burner Grates
These grates are porcelain cast iron and can be wiped clean while in place. They can also be removed when cool and cleaned with warm soapy water.
Open Burner Heads
Simply lift the removable porcelain cast iron burner heads straight up. Clean clogged gas holes with an open paper clip or wire. Wash with soapy water, dry and replace.
Venturis
Spiders or small insects may spin webs or build nests inside of the venturis. This especially occurs 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 the grill.
To help prevent a blockage and ensure full heat output, follow these steps to clean and inspect the venturis once or twice a month.
1. Using a flashlight, look inside of the end of the burn­ers for webs or mud nests. See Fig. 2-9
2. Use the special venturi brush provided and push the brush through the full length of each burner several times. See Fig. 2-9
3. For the grill venturis, clean the gas holes with a paper clip if blocked. See Fig. 2-10
4. Replace the venturis and make sure the bell shaped or cylindrical end is located over the valve orifices.
See Fig. 2-11
5. Test light to see if it is burning properly.
Grill Tank Bottom
If there is an accumulation of carbon or burned food on the bottom of the grill, use a spatula or scraper to push all of the carbon and food to the front and into the drip pan to collect and dispose.
Drip Trays and Grease Cans
After cooling, the drip trays and grease cans may be removed and cleaned. The grease can should be cleaned after each use.

Insulated Jacket
The optional insulated jacket is necessary when the non cart grill is to be installed into a combustible enclosure. Use only the Wolf approved insulated jacket which has been specifically designed and tested for this purpose.
See Fig. 3-2
Clearance to Combustible Construction
A minimum of 12” from the sides and 12” from the back is required above and below the cooking surface to adjacent vertical combustible surfaces as shown on page 3-3. A minimum of 4-1/2” from the back is required for the hood to open and 6” to the side is required for the rotisserie motor. Refer to the illustrations and chart on page 3-3.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION
This section of the manual covers some of the installation issues that a service technician may need to know when servicing a Wolf BBQ. If additional installation information is needed after reviewing this section of the manual, please refer to the Installation Guide or contact the Wolf Appliance Customer Service Department.
Electrical Requirements:
A Wolf BBQ rotisserie motor requires 110-120 volts AC to operate. The power supply cord on the rotisserie motor is equipped with a 3-prong (grounding) plug.

REAR PANEL COMPONENTS:
Components include; Rear Panel, Safety Valve and Gas Tubing
Rear Panel
The rear panel is on the back of the grill chassis. Once the rear panel is removed you have access to the safe­ty valve and related gas tubing. If the grill is in a built in installation, it will have to be pulled out to gain access to the rear panel screws. To remove the rear panel, extract the screws around the rear and lift the panel off.
See Fig. 4-41
Safety Valve
The safety valve allows the gas to flow to the infrared burner via the gas tubing. The safety valve has a flame sensor attached to it, which is mounted on the pilot burner. Once the pilot is lit, the flame goes over the flame sensor. When the flame sensor gets hot enough it opens the safety valve and the gas is allowed to flow through the tubing and to the infrared burner. The flame at the pilot burner then lights the infrared burner. If the flame on the pilot light goes out for any reason, the safety valve closes and shuts off the gas supply to the infrared burner. To remove the safety valve you need to turn off the gas supply and remove the rear panel. If the grill is in a built-in installation, it will have to be pulled forward to gain access to the rear panel and screws. Disconnect the flexible gas tubing from the safety valve. Now remove the two screws that secure the safety valve to the bracket and lift out the safety valve. See Fig. 4-42
Safety Valve Gas Tubing
This is a flexible gas line that goes between the Tee connector at the manifold and the safety valve. It sup­plies gas to the safety valve.

OUTDOOR BBBQ GGRILLS
Infrared Gas Tubing
This is a flexible gas line that goes between the safety valve and the infrared burner. Once the flame sensor on the pilot burner is hot enough to open the safety valve, it will supply the gas from the safety valve to the infrared burner. To remove this flexible gas tube you will have to turn off the gas supply. If the unit is in a built-in installation, it will have to be pulled out. Extract the screws and remove the rear hood top. Disconnect the flexible gas tube from the infrared burner and the top of the safety valve and remove the flexible gas tube from the unit. See Fig. 4-44
Pilot Valve Gas Tubing
This is a gas tube that goes between the pilot valve at the Tee connector on the manifold and to the pilot burn­er at the infrared burner. Once the infrared burner valve is turned on, it supplies gas for the pilot light at the pilot burner. To remove this gas tube you will have to turn off the gas supply. If the unit is in a built-in instal­lation, it will have to be pulled out. Extract the screws and remove the rear hood top. Disconnect the gas tube at the pilot burner. Remove the control panel and disconnect the gas tube from the pilot valve. Now remove the gas tubing from the unit. See Fig. 4-45
