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. Be
certain all controls are turned off
and the unit has cooled before
touching or cleaning any surfaces.
Never grill without the drip tray in
place.
Make certain it is pushed all
the way to the back and grease
collection tray is in proper position
to catch the drippings. Let the
grease cool before attempting to
remove for cleaning or disposal.
Clean the grease collection tray
often. Do not allow a large amount
of grease to accumulate as it can
catch on fire.
Never leave the grill unattended.
High flame and fatty meats promote
e-ups.

which may ignite, melt and burn. Do
not store spare LP gas cylinders or
flammable materials in the cart or
under a built-in location.
ea
The Wolf BBQ grill is for outdoor
use only! Do not operate it in
enclosed areas. This could result
in carbon monoxide buildup
which would result in injury or
death.
Do not use aluminum foil to line
drip tray, grease collection tray, grill
grates or open burner grates.
This
can hamper combustion and airflow.
It can trap excessive heat, which
could melt valve knobs and
electronic push button igniters or
warp the grill radiants and grill tank
liners.
Do not heat unopened glass or
metal containers
of food on the grill.
Pressure may build up and cause the
container to burst, resulting in
serious personal harm or damage to
the grill.
Clothing fires are potential hazards.
Do not wear long flowing sleeves
around the grill. They are easily
caught on pan handles or ignited by
ners. Highly flammable clothing,
bur
especially synthetic fabrics, should
not be worn while cooking.
Avoid pans that are unstable and
easily tipped. Look for easily grasped
handles that will stay cool. Pans that
are too heavy to move easily when
filled can also present a hazard. If a
pan handle twists and cannot be
tightened, discar
d the pan.

FLAME ADJUSTMENT
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Your Wolf BBQ grill is
preadjusted for the gas you specified when
ou purchased your unit, either natural or
y
LP gas.
A properly adjusted flame should have an
inner cone of bluish-green and an outer mantle
f dark blue. The flame characteristics should
o
be clean and soft, with minimal yellow tips.
Blowing or lifting of the flame should not
occur.
If the flame does not appear as described
above, the burners should be removed as
described in Cleaning the Burners on page 16.
The air shutters should be open, as shown in
the illustration below. The shutter adjustment
is made by loosening the air shutter screw,
setting the opening, then retightening the
screw. This should give you the correct
mixture of air and gas for a proper flame.
BEFORE LIGHTING
Prior to turning on the gas, inspect the gas
supply piping or hose. Look for evidence of
brasion, cuts, wear and tear, or other damage
a
that could require replacement prior to use.
Only use the supplied regulator and hose.
ake sure all burner control knobs are in the
M
OFF position. Do not attempt to light the
burners if the smell of gas is present. Make
sure the heat radiants are located properly
over the grill burners.
For LP gas BBQ grills, after attaching the hose,
check the connection for leaks with a solution
of half liquid soap and half water. Make sure
there is gas in the LP gas cylinder and that the
cylinder is upright. The vent hole on the
regulator must point down to prevent freeze
up during operation of the grill. Refer to the
illustration below.
BEFORE GRILLING THE FIRST TIME
Turn the grill on at the highest heat setting for
15 minutes with the hood closed. This will heat
all the internal parts. Smoking from the grill is
normal because it is burning off protective oils
on the metal parts.

WOLF GAS BBQ GRILL USE & CARE
LIGHTING THE BBQ GRILL
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.
Repeat the procedure or use the manual
lighting procedure described on page 10.
If a burner is lit, flames will be visible
through a series of vertical slots just above
the control knob of the corresponding
burner. Keep your face away from the front
panel.
Upon successful lighting, repeat the
process for the other burners you wish
to light.
OPEN BURNERS
Wolf BBQ grill open burner models are
equipped with heavy-duty porcelain coated
ast iron grates and burners, similar to those
c
used on Wolf ranges. The burners are rated at
16,000 Btu/hr (4.7 kW) and have a push-button
park ignition.
s
LIGHTING THE OPEN BURNERS
Remove the open burner cover and any
utensils on the grate.
Follow the same steps as for lighting the
grill. Note that the open burners, front and
rear, are lit by a single electrode. Turn on
the gas to the desired burner, then press
the ignition button. One ignition button
lights both burners.
FLAME HEIGHT
The correct flame height is dependent on the
size and material of the cookware being used,
the food being cooked and the amount of
liquid in the pan. Cookware that conducts heat
slowly, such as glass or ceramic, should be
used with a low or medium flame, unless you
are cooking with a large volume of liquid. The
flame height should not extend beyond the
bottom of the pan.
Dimensions in parentheses are in
millimeters unless otherwise specified.

WOLF GAS BBQ GRILL USE & CARE
Insert match /lanyard holder
for manual lighting
LIGHTING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER
The position of the infrared rotisserie burner
makes it more susceptible to being blown out;
he rotisserie should not be used during windy
t
conditions or in an unprotected area. For this
reason, the burner is equipped with a safety
alve that will prevent the burner from
v
operating unless the pilot is lit.
Open the hood and remove the rotisserie
burner cover.
Push in and turn the rotisserie gas control
knob to HIGH only.
After about 15 to 30 seconds, push the
ignition button for the rotisserie. This will
give the gas time to travel through the
tubing to the pilot at the left of the burner.
Once the pilot is lit, it will light the burner in
about 30 seconds. The flame is not visible
but it will give off high heat and a
red-orange glow after a few minutes.
MANUAL LIGHTING
Grill burners:
You may manually light the grill
burners with the match/lanyard holder. Place
he match in the clasp of the lanyard. Insert
t
into the
1
/2" (13) diameter hole above the grill
valve knob. Position the match tip near the
urner ports, push and turn the gas control
b
knob counterclockwise to HIGH, and light the
burner. Repeat to light the other burners. Refer
to the illustration below.
Open burners:
The open burners can be lit
directly from the top along the orifice holes
around the burner heads.
Rotisserie burner:
The rotisserie burner must
be manually lit at the pilot. Once the pilot is lit,
the burner will light within 30 seconds.
If the rotisserie burner flame goes out
while the BBQ grill is in use, turn OFF the
gas control knobs immediately. Keep the
hood open and wait five minutes for the
gas to clear before relighting the burner.

WOLF GAS BBQ GRILL USE & CARE
USING THE ROTISSERIE
The Wolf BBQ grill rotisserie system uses
infrared heat to cook items from the back. The
ntensity of this radiant heat sears in the
i
natural juices, while the motor turns the meat
for even cooking and self-basting.
After lighting, the rotisserie burner will reach
ooking temperature in approximately two
c
minutes. The red-orange glow will even out in
about five minutes.
The stainless steel above the rotisserie burner
will change to a dark blue color after the first
use. This is normal due to the high heat.
The rotisserie motor is equipped with phenolic
gears and is capable of turning a balanced
10 lb (4.5 kg) roast or whole poultry. The motor
is mounted to a metal bracket that attaches to
the side of the BBQ grill.
The rotisserie motor must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition of
the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
Keep the rotisserie motor power supply cord
away from the heated surfaces of the BBQ
grill. Remove and store the motor in a dry
location when not in use.
The rod for the rotisserie system is assembled
into the motor by placing the pointed end into
the motor and resting the threaded end on the
support at the side of the grill. Once the rod is
pushed as far as possible into the motor, the
grooved end of the rod should rest on the right
side bracket. The r

tines pointing away from the handle. Push
he rod through the center of the food.
t
Slide the other prong (tines toward the
food) onto the rod. Center the meat on the
rod and push the prongs firmly together.
Tighten the thumb screws with a pair of
pliers.
Use butcher string to secure any loose
portions of the meat. Never use nylon or
plastic string. To prepare poultry on the
rotisserie, refer to instructions on the
following page.
If necessary, slide on the counterbalance
and use it to offset unbalanced loads.
Tighten the thumb screws on the rod where
desired.
Place the pointed end of the rod into the
motor and rest the threaded end onto the
support at the side of the BBQ grill. Push
the rod as far into the motor as possible.
Remove the handle if using the open
burners.
Light the infrared rotisserie burner and
desired grill burners as directed on pages
9–10. Turn on the rotisserie motor.
Close the hood once the rotisserie burner is
lit.
Cook food according to the length of time
indicated in the Wolf BBQ Grilling Guide on
pages 17–20.
The rotisserie motor is equipped with a
3-prong grounding plug for your
protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a properly
ounded 3-prong receptacle.

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.
HEAT SETTINGS
HIGH
– Used for quick searing of meats and
vegetables.
MEDIUM
– Grill steaks, pork chops and
hamburgers. You may also sear meats on
medium and cook them on low.
LOW
– Used for cooking dense vegetables,
roasts, thick cuts of meat, poultry and fish.
TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL GRILLING
Never leave food unattended.
Cooking with the hood closed will provide
an even temperature, conserve gas, lessen
lare-ups and improve flavor.
f
Trim excess fat from meats and slit the
remaining fat at two-inch intervals to avoid
flare-ups and curling. Fatty meats may be
cooked indirectly on lower heat settings.
Refer to the indirect grilling method
instructions.
When opening the BBQ grill hood, wear a
pot holder mitt that covers your wrist.
Stand to the side of the grill and lift the
hood handle slowly.
To burn off grease drippings after cooking,
operate at HIGH for five minutes. When the
BBQ grill cools down, remove and clean the
grease collection tray.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not use aluminum
foil, as food grease may be trapped,
causing flame flare-up.
Allow meat to defrost in the refrigerator
overnight rather than microwaving it to
help retain juices.
GRILLING METHODS
Direct method:
Food is cooked directly over
the heat source. Turn food halfway through
grilling time for even cooking. The hood may
be open or closed. Used for steaks, chicken
pieces, chops and vegetables.

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. These surfaces may be
cleaned with soap and water or one of the
many stainless steel cleaners available on the
market. They may also be used in conjunction
with a non-scratch pad for removal of grease
that bakes onto the surface. To clean or touch
up scratches, always scrub in the direction of
the grain.
CLEANING INTERNAL PARTS
rill burner grates:The grill burner grates
G
are made of durable cast iron with a porcelain
enamel finish. Running the BBQ grill on HIGH
or a few minutes after cooking to burn off
f
excess food is part of the cleaning process.
Protect your hands with pot holder mitts while
cleaning the hot grill with the brush provided.
The grates may be more thoroughly cleaned
after they have cooled by removing them
and spraying with a grill and stainless steel
cleaner. Rinse and dry the grates before
replacing them. Never immerse a hot grate in
water.
Because of rapid temperature changes on the
grates, porcelain may pop off the edges. This
will not harm or affect the use of the grates.
The exposed cast iron will darken to match the
porcelain. Use care where the porcelain has
come off. Edges may be sharp and may need
to be touched up with an emery cloth or very
fine grit sandpaper.
Open burner grates:
These grates are
porcelain-coated cast iron and can be wiped
clean while in place with warm soapy water or
removed and washed separately when cool.
Dimensions in parentheses are in
millimeters unless otherwise specified.
Drip tray and grease collection tray:
The
drip trays may accumulate food particles and
spills. After cooling, they should be slid out
and wiped clean. The gr
ease collection tray
under the grill section will catch most of the
grease and should be emptied out and
cleaned after each cooking.
