NEVER use this appliance as a
space heater to heat or warm the
room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the rangetop.
7
In the event that a burner goes out
and gas escapes, open a window or
a door. Wait at least five minutes
before using the rangetop.
Do not obstruct the flow of air. Your
kitchen must have an adequate
supply of fresh air to ensure proper
combustion and ventilation.
When cooking, set burner controls
so that the flame does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Always turn pan handles inward so
they do not extend over adjacent
work areas, burners or the edge of
the rangetop.
TOP SURFACE BURNERS
Have your installer show you where
the gas supply shut-off valve is
located in your home. Learn how
and where to turn off the gas to the
rangetop.
Before performing any service, turn
off the gas supply by closing the gas
shut-off valve and turn off the electricity.
Keep igniters clean and dry for
proper lighting and performance of
the burners.
Keep appliance area clear and free
from combustible material.
8
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
Always light each burner prior to
placing a pan on the burner grate.
Also, turn the control knob to the
position before removing a pan from
the burner grate.
Keep any ventilation filters clean to
avoid grease fires.
Do not clean the rangetop while it is
still hot. If using a damp sponge or
cloth, wait until the rangetop has
cooled sufficiently to prevent steam
burns. Also, some cleaners can
produce harmful or unpleasant
fumes if applied to hot surfaces.
Refer to Care Recommendations
on pages 24–25.
Always set pans gently onto the
grates and center them so that they
are well balanced.
TOP SURFACE BURNERS
Always check the positions of the
control knobs to make certain the
rangetop and top surface burners
are off when you are finished
cooking.
When deep fat frying, be certain that
the pan is large enough to accommodate the desired volume of food
without overflow caused by
bubbling of the fat. Never leave a
deep fat fryer unattended. Avoid
deep fat frying of moist or frostcovered foods, as foods with high
water content may cause spattering
or spilling of the hot fat. Heat fat
slowly, and stir together any combinations of oils and fats prior to
applying heat. Utilize a deep fat
frying thermometer to avoid heating
the fat to temperatures above the
flash point.
9
When using the rangetop, do not
touch the grates, burner caps,
burner bases or any other parts in
proximity to the flame. These
components may be hot enough to
cause burns.
If the rangetop is near a window, do
not use long curtains as a window
treatment, as they could blow over
the rangetop and create a fire
hazard.
Boilovers and greasy spills may
smoke or ignite.
Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Choose pans with easily grasped
handles that will stay cool while
cooking. Refer to Cookware Selection on page 23.
TOP SURFACE BURNERS
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic,
paper or cloth to come in contact
with a hot burner or grate. Do not
allow pans to boil dry.
Start the ventilation hood approximately five minutes before cooking
on the rangetop or top surface
burners; this establishes an air
curtain and improves the capture of
vapor and moisture.
Do not cover the burners and grates
with anything except properly
selected utensils. Decorative covers
should not be used.
Wear proper apparel. Never let loose
clothing or other flammable materials come in contact with the burners
while in operation. Fabric may ignite
and cause personal injury.

DUAL STACKED BURNER ASSEMBLY
The unique dual stacked burner design
combines all of the burner parts in one
assembly.
After cleaning or removing burner parts for
any reason, it is extremely important that you
reassemble burners correctly.
The burner cap should sit flat on the burner
or you will not get a blue flame. Refer to the
illustration below.
12
SURFACE BURNERS
A spark electrode ignites each surface burner.
This control eliminates the need for continuous
open flame pilots. For added safety and
convenience, each burner is designed with an
electronic reignition system. This feature
enables any burner to relight automatically in
the event it is accidentally extinguished.
Large burners provide a rating of 4.6 kW
(286 g/h) on , with .9 kW (57 g/h) delivered
at simmer. The small burner provides a rating
of 2.8 kW (179 g/h) on , with .55 kW (43 g/h)
delivered at simmer. All burners have simmer
settings.
A distinguishing feature of Wolf’s low kW
control is its constant, low heat output without
continuous ignitions. The flame diameter
remains full size; only the heat output is
lowered. This patented dual stacked burner
design makes it possible to enjoy cooking at
full flame as well as maintain control while
simmering at the lowest flame setting.

WOLF SEALED BURNER RANGETOP OPERATION
CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs are positioned to correspond to the burners they regulate. The knobs
on the far left regulate the burners on the left
side. Conversely, the knobs on the far right
regulate the burners on the right side.
The precision fit of the control knobs requires
the use of a nyliner insertion between the knob
and bezel. When removing knobs for cleaning,
place the nyliner back inside the bezel for easy
reinstallation of the knobs. Refer to the illustration on page 12.
To light a burner:
push in and turn the corresponding control knob counterclockwise to
setting. You will hear a clicking sound and see
the burner ignite. Once the burner is lit,
continue turning the knob counterclockwise to
any one of the settings— through .
To select a SIMMER setting:
turn the burner
knob to the setting; you will feel a stop
detent in the knob rotation. Push in on the
knob, continuing to turn it counterclockwise.
This moves the flame to the second tier. Now,
select any variation within the flame
settings— through .
Each knob is designed to be a ”push-to-turn”
knob. Although this is a child-safe design,
children should never be left unattended in
the kitchen when the rangetop is in use.
Never leave pans on a setting unattended. Be particularly cautious when
cooking food in fat or grease. It can
become hot enough to ignite.
14
WOLF SEALED BURNER RANGETOP OPERATION
BEFORE USING YOUR RANGETOP
Before using for the first time, you should
clean your rangetop thoroughly with hot water
and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft
cloth. This removes any residual oil and grease
left on the surface from the manufacturing
process. Refer to Care Recommendations on
pages 24–25.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before using your Wolf
sealed burner rangetop, check that the surface
burner caps are positioned 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 23 for
cookware recommendations.
FLAME HEIGHT AND APPEARANCE
Select a flame that is just high enough to
maintain the desired cooking speed and is
sized to fit the base diameter of the pan. Never
extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
Smaller diameter pans should be used on the
left rear burner.
The flame on natural gas should be blue with a
deeper blue core. There should be minimal
trace of a yellow flame. A yellow flame indicates an improper mixture of air and gas or
impurities in the gas supply to the range. 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
The low profile, cast iron grates are designed
for a close fit. This enables you to move pans
easily from one burner to another without
having to lift the pan or have it tip over
between the grates. Each grate sets securely
on dimples on each corner of the burner pan.
Continuous grates are interchangeable, excluding the charbroiler grate with the burner grate.
Position the porcelain-coated, cast iron grates
over two burners. Rubber pads located under
the grate support legs will match up with the
dimples on the burner pans.
The drip pan holds as much as .6 L of liquid
spillover per two-burner pan.
15
WOLF SEALED BURNER RANGETOP OPERATION
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.
Leave the charbroiler on for approximately
five minutes after grilling is complete. This
allows for easier cleaning after the charbroiler has cooled sufficiently.
INFRARED CHARBROILER
This optional feature is designed with an
infrared burner to give the highest quality and
most efficient method of gas grilling. A radiant
plate with numerous holes distributes the heat
evenly over the grate. The burner becomes an
orange-red color at the surface of the ceramic
tile, and when it glows, it transfers an intense
heat to the food. This sears the outside of the
food, leaving the inside tender and juicy.
The infrared burner is designed to operate at
5.8 kW (378 g/h) at 100% full heat output.
Before using the charbroiler for the first time,
place the radiant plate slots over the front
deflector of the charbroiler frame. The edges
of the charbroiler grate should line up on top
of the assembly.
CHARBROILER TIPS
Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes
prior to using the charbroiler.
High is the only setting on the knob. If the
knob is not set fully at , the burner may
turn blue and the automatic igniter will
begin sparking. Turn the knob back to .
Always select lean meat or trim fat before
grilling. Flaming may occur when grilling
meat and poultry with excessive fat.
To prevent flare-ups, you must never
leave the charbroiler unattended during
use.
16
CHARBROILER ASSEMBLY
Follow these steps to disassemble the
charbroiler for cleaning:
1)
Remove the charbroiler grate. Refer to the
illustration below.
2)
Remove the radiant plate. Refer to the
illustration below.
3)
Remove the charbroiler frame.
4)
After cleaning, put the charbroiler frame
back in place.
5)
Line up the slots in the front of the radiant
plate with the front angle. The slots should
fit over the front angle and sit flat on the
charbroiler frame.
6)
Reinstall the charbroiler grate.

INFRARED CHARBROILER
CHARBROILER CARE
To keep the charbroiler looking its best, it is
recommended that you clean it after every use.
Charbroiler Grate
(porcelain-coated cast
iron): When cool, lift off and set in the sink.
Use a soft bristle brush to remove food
particles from the grate. Pour very hot
water over the cooked-on residue. Cover
with wet dish towels and pour more hot
water over it. Allow the hot, moist conditions to help loosen the residue. Remove
remaining soil with a soap-filled scouring
pad. Rinse and dry.
Charbroiler Frame
(stainless steel):
Remove from the rangetop. Soak in hot
water and dish detergent. Wash thoroughly,
scrubbing with scouring pad, if needed.
Igniter
(ceramic): Avoid contact with the
igniter; it is fragile and can chip or break.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not use any commercial cleaners on any part of the charbroiler
assembly.
WOLF SEALED BURNER RANGETOP OPERATION
Allow the charbroiler surface to cool
sufficiently before cleaning.
18
WOLF SEALED BURNER RANGETOP OPERATION
GRIDDLE OPERATION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The stainless steel cover
must be removed prior to operation of the
griddle.
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.
Preheat for approximately 10 minutes.
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.
To turn the griddle off, turn the control knob
clockwise to the position.
INFRARED GRIDDLE
The steel griddle plate operates at 5.5 kW
(336 g/h). It is thermostatically controlled,
which means once the set temperature is
reached, the heat cycles to hold that temperature. To prevent food from sticking and to
protect the surface from moisture, it is 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
Clean the surface with hot water and a mild
detergent. 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 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 5 ml of peanut or vegetable
oil per 279 mm 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.
Push and turn the control knob to 175˚C.
Heat until you see the first signs of smoke.
Turn the griddle . When the griddle has
cooled and is only slightly warm, wipe off
any excess oil. Let the griddle cool
completely.
Repeat with another teaspoon of oil. The
brown appearance will darken with use.
Be particularly cautious when cooking
food high in fat. It can become hot
enough to ignite.
19
WOLF SEALED BURNER RANGETOP OPERATION
INFRARED GRIDDLE
GRIDDLE CARE
Using a metal spatula, scrape grease into
the grease collection tray.
When the surface has cooled, wipe it with a
paper towel to remove excess grease or oil.
Scrape the griddle clean. Pour .1 L warm
water and 5 ml griddle cleaner onto the
griddle and scrape the grease into the
grease collection tray. Empty the grease
collection tray. Rinse the griddle with .1 L
warm water and dry with paper towels.
Reapply a small amount of peanut or
vegetable oil to the griddle with a clean
cloth after each cleaning.
Clean the grease collection tray after each
use. Do not allow grease to accumulate in
the tray and become a fire hazard.
To remove the grease collection tray, gently
pull the tray toward you to lift it out. Clean
the tray with soapy water and a clean cloth.
To replace, slide the short edge of the
grease collection tray under the edge of the
griddle and lower into the opening.
Occasionally remove the seasoning, clean
the griddle thoroughly and reapply. To
remove, add either white vinegar and water
or club soda to a slightly warm surface.
Scrub with a fine wire brush or a fine-grit
griddle brick. Repeat application if necessary. Be certain to apply a light coat of oil
after cleaning for seasoning.
Allow the griddle surface to cool sufficiently before cleaning.

WOLF SEALED BURNER RANGETOP OPERATION
FRENCH TOP
The 4.6 kW (286 g/h) French Top is an optional
feature that provides a 559 mm cooking
surface with the hottest temperature under the
center plate and the lowest temperature near
the edges. This design makes it possible to use
several pans at once for a 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.
To protect the cast iron surface from moisture,
it is necessary to season the French Top prior
to use. This seasoning process as well as
general use will change the appearance of the
French Top.

SEASON THE FRENCH TOP
Clean surface with detergent and warm
water. 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.
Use oil sparingly; too much oil will smoke
excessively when heated and leave a
gummy coating that will have to be
removed. Avoid using olive oil; it leaves
a gummy residue.
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.
FRENCH TOP COOKING TIPS
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
regular burners.
21

FRENCH TOP OPERATION
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The stainless steel cover
must be removed prior to operation of the
French Top.
Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes
prior to using the French Top.
To use the French Top, push and turn the
control knob counterclockwise until you
hear the clicking sound of the igniter
lighting the burner. When you hear the
burner ignite, turn the knob clockwise to the
setting.
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, turn the control
knob clockwise to the position.
WOLF SEALED BURNER RANGETOP OPERATION
Never leave pans on a high heat zone
unattended. Be particularly cautious
when cooking food in fat or grease. It can

FRENCH TOP
FRENCH TOP CARE
It is best to maintain a seasoned surface to
protect the cast iron from moisture.
Clean entire surface after each use while it
is slightly warm. Wipe the surface with a
mild detergent 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 below.

COOKWARE SELECTION
For best results, we recommend medium- to
heavy-weight pans that have a flat base, metal
handle and a good-fitting cover.
Look for pans that are made of materials with
good heat conductivity, such as aluminum and
copper. These metals are sometimes found
”sandwiched” between the inner and outer
layers of the pan. If present, whether visible
from the outside or not, they aid in evenly
conducting heat.

Use the following guidelines when selecting
cookware for the rangetop:
Griddles or open roasters that span two
burners are suitable, providing they are not
warped.
When a large pan is centered over a burner,
the diameter should not exceed 254 mm.
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,” scorching and
burning.
Cover pans while cooking; covers improve
cooking efficiency. Water boils faster, using
less fuel, and the kitchen stays cooler.
Select high-sided (deep) pans rather than
ones with very wide bases and low sides.
High sides will minimize liquids boiling
over the pan.
Pans with oversized bases that extend
beyond the rangetop frame
should not
be
used. On settings, heat may be trapped
beneath the pan, causing permanent
damage to the surface finish.
Use the front burners for larger pans. The
pans are easier to handle, especially when
hot.
Use a wok with a flat bottom.

Caution! Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will permanently scratch
the surface.
Resistant to most stains, but not totally impervious to damage. Salt and
some cooking liquids may pit and stain the surface. Always remove these
spills immediately.
General care:
Use a clean cloth or sponge; wipe with warm water and a mild
dish detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
Spray degreasers:
Spray on a cloth and wipe surface to remove fingerprints
and greasy spatters. Buff dry immediately to avoid streaking.
Hard water stains:
Use white vinegar and water.
General care:
Cool first. Remove grate. Wash caps in warm water and liquid
detergent or mild abrasive cleaners. Foods high in acid or sugar content,
such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling, may pit or craze
the surface. Remove as soon as possible before heating again.
Remove from the rangetop and place on a flat surface near the sink to clean.
Nonabrasive cleaners:
Hot water and liquid detergent, paste of baking soda
and water, plastic pad or sponge.
Mild abrasive and abrasive cleaners:
Use sparingly.
To remove the knobs, pull the knobs forward off the valve stem (see page 13
on nylon bearing).
General care:
Wipe each knob with a damp cloth and mild soap and water;
rinse and dry. Never soak in water or use abrasive cleaners; they will scratch
the finish and may remove the markings. Do not place in dishwasher.
Hand wash all decorative components of your rangetop. This includes the
knobs, bezels, grates and burner caps. Do not clean any of these components
in the dishwasher.
Keep dry; never spray water or cleaner directly on the igniter. When cleaning
around the surface burner, be careful that the cloth does not catch on the
igniter and damage it.

Exterior cleaning:
Use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner 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.
Best results are obtained by keeping the cloth in continuous contact with
the metal.

Wolf sealed burner rangetop.
RANGETOP CLEANING TIPS
Wait until surfaces are cool before cleaning.
For best results, wipe up spills and spatters
as they occur and immediately after the
rangetop has cooled. If splatters are
allowed to cook on, they may permanently
damage or stain the finish.
If in doubt about using one of your
cleaners, check the label. To check if it is
safe to use on your range, try a small
amount on an inconspicuous area using
very light pressure.
Use caution when spraying cleaners. Some
contain caustic ingredients that can damage
adjacent parts and finishes. Protect the
adjacent parts by masking them off so that
the overspray is contained to the finish
being cleaned.
Do not spray cleaners on electrical controls,
igniters, wires or knob valve stems.
