WOLF GAS RANGETOP OPERATION
FLAME HEIGHT AND APPEARANCE
Select a flame that is just high enough to
maintain the desired cooking speed and is
ized to fit the base diameter of the pan. Refer
s
to the illustrations below. Never extend the
flame beyond the base of the pan.
The flame on natural gas should be blue with a
eeper blue core. There should be minimal
d
trace of a yellow flame. A yellow flame indicates an improper mixture of air and gas or
impurities in the gas supply to the rangetop. If
this occurs consistently, call a Wolf authorized
service center to adjust the mixture. With LP
gas, some yellow tipping to the flame is
acceptable and may not require an adjustment.
A ”popping” sound may be noticed with LP
gas when the surface burner is turned off. This
is normal.
GRATE PLACEMENT
Position the porcelain-coated, cast iron grates
with the five fingers of each grate facing
toward the front of the gas rangetop. The back
of each grate has three fingers, which face the
back. Rubber pads located under the grate
support legs rest on the burner drip pan. Refer
to the illustration below.
BEFORE USING YOUR RANGETOP
Before using for the first time, you should
clean your gas rangetop thoroughly with hot
ater and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry with
w
a soft cloth. This removes any residual oil and
grease left on the surface from the manufac-
uring process. Refer to Care Recommenda-
t
tions on page 21.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before using your gas
rangetop, check that the surface burners are
assembled correctly.
Griddles and French Tops need to go through a
”burn in” period to clean oils from the bottom
of these assemblies. To prevent food from
sticking and to protect the surface from
moisture, it is necessary to season the griddle
and French Top prior to use. Refer to the
following pages for specific instructions on
using the optional charbroiler, griddle and
French Top.
The use of proper cookware is very important.
Refer to Cookware Selection on page 20 for
cookware recommendations.

INFRARED CHARBROILER
This optional feature is designed with a 16,000
Btu/hr (4.7 kW) infrared burner to give the
ighest quality and most efficient method of
h
gas grilling. The burner becomes an orangered color at the surface of the ceramic tile, and
hen it glows, it transfers an intense heat to
w
the food. This sears the outside of the food,
leaving the inside tender and juicy.
The infrared burner is designed to operate at
100% heat output. HIGH is the only setting on
the knob. For even cooking, we recommend
using the charbroiler blank-off plate when
grilling most food.
Do not use cookware on the charbroiler
grate.

the blank-off plate before installing.
To install the blank-off plate,
remove the
stainless steel grate and wire mesh screen.
Position the blank-off plate in the middle of the
ceramic tiles and reinstall the wire mesh
screen. Make sure that the wire mesh screen
is positioned with the notch at the left rear.
Reinstall the stainless steel grate. Refer to the
illustrations below.
Use caution when placing the blank-of
plate directly onto the ceramic tiles so
they are not chipped or otherwise
damaged. Avoid any contact with the

Always select lean meat or trim fat before
grilling. Flaming may occur when grilling
meat and poultry with excessive fat.
To minimize flare-ups when grilling chicken
breasts and thighs, remove the skin. Brush
pieces with peanut or vegetable oil to
reduce sticking to the grate.
If flare-ups occur, quickly move the food to
another place on the grate with long tongs.
Apply basting sauce halfway through
cooking time.
Use a minute timer as a reminder to turn
the food over halfway through cooking
time.
The suggested grilling times in the
Charbroiler Grilling Guide on page 15 are
approximate. Actual times depend on the

INFRARED GRIDDLE
The steel griddle plate operates at 18,000
Btu/hr (5.3 kW). It is thermostatically
ontrolled, which means once the set tempera-
c
ture is reached, the heat cycles to hold that
temperature. To prevent food from sticking and
o protect the surface from moisture, it is
t
necessary to ”season” the griddle prior to use.
This seasoning process as well as general use
will change the appearance of the griddle.
SEASON THE GRIDDLE
The griddle is shipped with a protective oil,
use hot water and detergent to clean the
surface. Rinse and dry.
Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes
prior to using the griddle.
The griddle needs to go through a ”burn
in” period. Turn the griddle on at 350˚F
(175˚C) for 30 minutes to clean oils from the
bottom of the griddle. After 30 minutes,
turn the griddle off and allow it to cool.
To season, pour 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of
peanut or vegetable oil per 11" (279) griddle
in the center; spread evenly with a paper
towel, avoiding the corners. Be careful not
to apply too much oil. Excess oil will leave
a gummy residue that will have to be
removed.

Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes
prior to using the griddle.
To heat the griddle,
push in the control
knob and turn counterclockwise to the
desired temperature. It is normal to hear a
clicking sound. This is the electronic
ignition lighting the burner. When the
burner is lit, the thermostat will control the
temperature.
When the griddle is preheated, the griddle
indicator light will go out. The light will
cycle on and off as the thermostat requires
more heat to maintain the set temperature.
This will allow heat to be evenly distributed
and the griddle to maintain the set
temperature.
The double griddle has two burners with
separate control knobs that act independently of each other. If only one griddle is
being used, there will be some heat transfer
to the inactive griddle.

FRENCH TOP
The 15,000 Btu/hr (4.4 kW) French Top is an
optional feature that provides a 22" (559)
ooking surface with the hottest temperature
c
under the center plate and the lowest temperature near the edges. This design makes it
ossible to use several pans at once for a
p
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. Place the pan or
pans toward the edge according to their
contents and quantity. Refer to the illustrations
below.
The cooking surface is made of polished cast
iron that is an excellent heat conductor. The
several rings allow for the solid surface to
expand with the heat while remaining flat. The
rings also provide thermal breaks in the cast
iron that distribute the heat in a graduated
intensity, hottest in the center and coolest
around the edges.
SEASON THE FRENCH TOP
he French Top is shipped with a protective
T
oil, use hot water and detergent to clean
the surface. Rinse and dry.
Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes
prior to using the French Top.
The French Top needs to go through a
”burn in” period. Turn on the French Top
for 30 minutes to clean oils from the
bottom side of the surface. After 30
minutes, turn the French Top off and allow
it to cool.
To season, spread a light coating of peanut
or vegetable oil on a towel or cloth. While
surface is still slightly warm, apply oil
evenly until it is absorbed into the cast iron.
Be careful not to apply too much oil. Excess
oil will leave a gummy residue that will
have to be removed.
It is normal for the cast iron to darken with
use to a bluish-black color.
When this seasoning technique is applied
correctly, the surface will be protected from
moisture. Its appearance darkens with use, a
sign that the French Top has been fully
tempered and is properly seasoned. Regular
maintenance will become easier.

Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes
prior to using the French Top.
To use the French Top,
control knob counterclockwise to the
push and turn 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. This allows the solid
cast iron plate to heat thoroughly.
To raise or lower the cooking heat, slide the
pan either toward (higher heat) or away
from (lower heat) the center plate. This
gives you total control over the most
delicate sauces. It is not necessary to adjust
the flame height.
To turn the French Top off,
control knob clockwise to the

position.
FRENCH TOP COOKING TIPS
FRENCH TOP CARE
t is best to maintain a seasoned surface to
I
protect the cast iron from moisture.
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.
Reapply a light coating of peanut or
vegetable oil to the French Top after each
use until a sheen develops.
Periodically, it may be necessary to strip the
oil and stains from the plate. Apply a small
amount of white vinegar and water to the
surface while it is slightly warm. Repeat
until excess oil has been removed.
The French Top burner is located below the
center plate. The plate remains in place
during cooking but it can be lifted off to
check or service the burner. Use the center
plate hook provided with your rangetop as
shown in the illustration on page 18.
Always cook in pans. Do not cook food
directly on the surface.
Never remove the center plate when
cooking.
When bringing large amounts of water to a
boil, it is fastest to do it on one of the
surface burners.
Never leave pans on a high heat zone
unattended. Be cautious when cooking
food in fat or grease. It can become hot
enough to ignite.
Allow the French Top surface to cool
sufficiently befor
e cleaning.

COOKWARE SELECTION
For best results, we recommend medium- to
heavy-weight pans that have a flat base, metal
andle and a good-fitting cover. Look for pans
h
that are made of materials with good heat
conductivity, such as aluminum and copper.
Use the following guidelines when selecting
ookware for the rangetop:
c
Select high-sided (deep) pans rather than
ones with very wide bases and low sides.
High sides will minimize boilovers.
When using pans made of cast iron,
enameled steel or glass ceramic, or coated
with a nonstick finish, select lower flame
settings. High heat applied to such materials will cause ”hot spots” and scorching.
Cover pans while cooking; covers improve
cooking efficiency. Water boils faster, using
less fuel, and the kitchen stays cooler.
Use the front burners for larger pans. The
pans are easier to handle, especially when
hot.
Pans with oversize bases that extend
beyond the rangetop frame
used. On
HIGH
settings, heat may be
should not
be
trapped beneath the pan causing permanent damage to the surface finish.
Use a wok with a flat bottom.
CLEANING THE RANGETOP
RANGETOP CLEANING TIPS
ait until surfaces are cool before cleaning.
W
Wipe up spills and spatters as they occur
and immediately after the rangetop has
cooled. If spatters are allowed to cook on,
they may permanently damage or stain the
finish.
Use caution when spraying cleaners. Some
contain caustic ingredients that can damage
adjacent parts and finishes. Protect adjacent
parts by masking them off before spraying.
Do not spray cleaners on electrical controls,
igniters, wires or switches.
Refer to pages 13–19 for specific care
instructions for the charbroiler, griddle and
French Top.
DRIP PAN REMOVAL
The drip pan removal hook (part #722218) is
provided with the rangetop to lift and remove
the porcelainized steel top for cleaning.
To remove the drip pan,
first remove the cast
iron grates. Insert the vinyl-coated end of the
drip pan removal hook into one of the oblong
holes in the drip pan. Lift upward and set
the drip pan aside for cleaning. Refer to the
illustration below.

Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will permanently scratch the surface.
Salt and some cooking liquids may pit and stain the surface. Always remove
hese spills immediately. Use a spray degreaser to remove fingerprints and
t
greasy spatters. Spray on a cloth and wipe surface. Buff dry immediately to
avoid streaking. For hard water stains, use white vinegar and water.
Exterior Cleaning: Use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner like
Signature Polish (see side note) and apply with a soft lint-free cloth. To bring
out the natural luster, lightly wipe the surface with a water-dampened
microfiber cloth, followed with a dry microfiber cloth. All work should follow
the grain direction of the finish. Better results are obtained by keeping the
cloth in continuous contact with the metal.
Allow burner base and cap to cool first. Wash in warm water and liquid
detergent. Rinse and dry.
Spray degreasers and mild abrasive cleaners may be used.
Caution! Do not use abrasive cleaners (e.g., Comet); they will permanently scratch the surface.
Salt and some cooking liquids may pit and stain the surface. Always remove
