SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
WHAT TO DO
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all
instructions before using this
appliance.
Make certain your unit is properly
installed
your unit was designed for. Do not
use LP gas in a natural gas unit or
vice versa. Do not use charcoal,
wood chips or other material in
your grill.
Make certain the installer shows
you where the gas shut-off valve is
so you can shut off the gas supply in
an emergency. If you smell gas, the
connections are not properly sealed
or you may have a hole in the gas
supply pipe or hose. Determining
where the gas leak is should be left
to a qualified technician. Request
service from a qualified technician
and use only genuine Wolf

WHAT NOT TO DO
Children should not be left alone or
unattended
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.

Do not permit the grill or open
ners to be used as a storage ar

for flammable or plastic items,
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.

The porcelain-coated cast iron grill grates are
5" (127) wide for easy handling and cleaning.
elow the heavy-duty grill grates are the
B
stainless steel heat radiants located every 5"
(127). These radiants, provided with the BBQ
rill, are positioned over the grill burners to
g
concentrate the heat. Refer to the illustrations
below.
The radiants are supported on each end by a
pin located just above the grill burner. Be sure
the heat radiants are oriented so that the
triangular cut-out is positioned to the rear of
the grill.
The Wolf BBQ grill design eliminates the use of
briquettes or lava rocks. The grill burners
produce 10,000 Btu/hr (2.9 kW) per burner.
Burning gas cooking fuel generates some
by-products that are on the list of
substances known to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure
to these substances, always operate
these units according to the instructions
contained in this book and provide good
ventilation.

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.
