Heated Air Exits

VENTILATION CONSIDERATIONS

The front of your Wolf gas range must be clear
of any obstruction. For proper operation and

ervicing, a clear area of at least 36" (914) in

s
front of the range is recommended.

Your kitchen must provide an adequate supply
of fresh air to assure proper combustion and

entilation.

v
For the gas range, fresh air intakes are located

below the bullnose and control knobs. For the
oven burner, there are fresh air intakes at the
bottom front of the kick panel. Never block the
fresh air intakes, as they provide air required
for proper operation. Refer to the illustration.

Most of the heated air and burner combustion
by-products from the oven(s) exit through the
back stainless steel riser. Gas ranges can be
used with the optional island trim or 5" (127),
10" (254), or 20" (508) risers available through
your Wolf dealer.

Due to the high volume of ventilation air
required, a source of outside replacement air is
recommended. This is particularly important
for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A
qualified HVAC contractor should be consulted.

VENTILATION OPTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It is recommended that

you operate the Wolf gas range with a Pro

entilation hood. Contact your Wolf dealer for

v
details.

Pro Wall Hood –

22" (559), 24" (610) or 27"

(686) depths and 30" (762) to 66" (1676)

idths in classic stainless steel.

w

Pro Island Hood –

36" (914) to 66" (1676)

widths in classic stainless steel.

Pro Hood Liner –

available in widths to
accommodate 30" (762) to 60" (1524) hood
shells.

All Pro ventilation hoods have welded seams,
sealed halogen lighting and removable, dish­washer-safe stainless steel filters.

Blower requirements may vary due to length
of duct work and number of angles. The basic
recommendation is 1 CFM per 100 Btu/hr.
Always consult your HVAC professional for
more concise blower requirements.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

When installing a ventila­tion hood, refer to the specific requirements
of the hood for the minimum dimension to
countertop.

ACCESSORIES

Optional acces­sories are available
through your
Wolf dealer. To
obtain local dealer
information, visit
the Locator section
of our website,

M
surfaces:

For island installations,

the range should
not be installed within an enclosure having an
adjacent rear wall less than 12" (305) from
the rear of the unit that rises above the
countertop.

For peninsula installations,

the range must
have a 6" (152) minimum clearance to the side
wall, left or right side, and 12" (305) minimum
clearance to the rear wall.

Refer to the Installation Specifications
illustrations for your model on pages 7–10 for
the exact rough opening dimensions.

Failure to locate the range without the
proper clearances will result in a fire
hazard.

0" (0) clearance for adjacent combustible
materials below the countertop, both sides
and rear. The maximum depth of adjacent
overhead side cabinets is 13" (330).

Minimum clearances for gas ranges without
a ventilation hood:

Minimum vertical distance between the
surface burners or griddle to combustible
materials above the gas range must be
30" (762).

Minimum vertical distance between the
charbroiler (some models) to combustible
materials above the gas range must be
36" (914).

OVEN DOOR REMOVAL

Failure to insert the hinge pin in the
appropriate hinge arm will cause damage
to the range. Minor injuries may occur.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The oven door(s) should
not be removed unless it is necessary to fit the
range through a tight doorway. Door removal
should only be done by a qualified service
technician or installer. Door removal and rein­stallation may cause damage to the porcelain
interior of the oven or door(s).

If removal of the oven door(s) is necessary, a
hinge pin, supplied with the range, will need to
be inserted in the appropriate hinge arm. For
each oven door, only one hinge arm is spring
loaded, requiring use of the hinge pin for
removal of the oven door. The hinge pin will
be found taped to the inside of the oven door.

For 30" (762) and 36" (914) gas ranges, the
hinge pin will be inserted through the hole in
the right hinge arm (facing the unit). On 48"
(1219) and 60" (1524) gas ranges, the spring
hinges are located on the outer edges of the
unit. On these units, the left oven door will
have the spring hinge on the left side and the
right oven door will have the spring hinge on
the right side. Refer to the illustrations below
for the location of the spring hinge(s) for your
specific model.

If removal of the oven door(s) is necessary,
follow these steps:

1)

Open the oven door to its fully opened

osition and insert the supplied door hinge

p
pin through the hole in the appropriate
hinge arm. Refer to the illustration below.

2)

Remove both upper and lower hinge
retainer mounting screws. NOTE: The oven
gasket may have to be moved slightly to
access the bottom screws.

3)

After removing the mounting screws, move
the hinge retainer plate forward slightly.
NOTE: The hinge retainer plate will remain
on the door hinge assembly after the
mounting screws have been removed.

4)

Carefully close the oven door to about a
60° angle from horizontal and lift the door
away from the oven. NOTE: A slight racking
motion may be required for removal.

5)

For 48" (1219) and 60" (1524) gas ranges,
complete these steps for both oven doors.

Do not lift or carry the oven door by the
door handle.

be equipped with an approved external gas
shut-off valve located near the range in an
accessible location. Do not block access to the
shut-off valve. Refer to the illustration below.

The Wolf gas range functions up to 6,000'
(1828 m) in altitude without any adjustment. If
installation is above 6,000' (1828 m), contact
your Wolf dealer.

Before connecting the gas supply, make
sure all valves are in a closed position. Do
not connect the gas supply to an appli­ance that shows any sign of physical
damage.

position it with door hinges aligned with
openings in the oven frame.

2)

Holding the oven door at an approximate
30° angle from vertical, slide the hinges into
the openings until the bottom hinge arms
drop fully into the hinge receptacles.

3)

Open the oven door to its fully opened
position. Remove the hinge pin from the
appropriate hinge arm. Refer to the
illustration below.

4)

Reinstall the hinge retainer plate with upper
and lower mounting screws.

VERIFY RANGE OPERATION

SURFACE BURNERS

MPORTANT NOTE:Prior to operating the

I

range, be sure to read the entire Wolf Gas
Ranges Use & Care Information included with

he range for important safety, service and

t
warranty information.

The surface burners use electronic igniters in
place of standing pilots. When the burner
control knob is pushed in and turned to the
HIGH position, the system creates a spark to
light the burner. This sparking continues until
the electronic ignition senses a flame.

Be sure to place the burner parts on each
burner base and install the burner grates
before lighting.

To check operation of the surface burners,
push in and turn each control knob to the HIGH
position. The flame should light within four
seconds.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Initial lighting of the
surface burners may take slightly longer, as air
in the system must be purged before gas can
be supplied to the burner.

REMOVING THE RANGE

Be sure to disconnect the gas supply and
electrical connections before removing
the range.

f removing the gas range is necessary for

I
cleaning or service, shut off the gas supply.
Disconnect the gas supply and electrical
connections to the unit, then remove the
range. Reinstall in the reverse order and be
sure to check the gas connection for leaks.

Refer the Wolf Gas Ranges Use & Care
Information included with the range for
cleaning recommendations.

If the burners do not light properly, turn
control knob to the OFF position. Check that
the burner parts are in the proper position.
Check that the power supply cord is plugged in
and that the circuit br

eaker or house fuse has
not blown. Check that the shut-off valve is in
the ON position. Check operation again,
waiting at least five minutes; if the burners do
not light properly at this point, contact a Wolf
authorized ser

vice center.

OVEN OPERATION

Turn the oven(s) on and verify that the oven(s)
are coming up to temperature.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

A small amount of
smoke and odor may be noticed during the
initial break-in period. Refer to the Gas
Ranges Use & Care Information for additional
information.
