WOLF GAS COOKTOPS
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appli­ance.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep natural ventila­tion holes open or install a mechani­cal ventilation device (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appli­ance may call for additional ventila­tion, for example opening of a window, or more effective ventila­tion, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch.
Do not use any phone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

WHAT TO DO
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Read this Use & Care Information carefully before using your new cooktop to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
Ensure proper installation and servicing. This appliance must be
properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. Learn how and where to turn off the gas to the cooktop.
Before performing any service, turn off the gas supply and unplug the
cooktop electrical power cord from the wall receptacle.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
Keep igniters clean and dry for proper lighting and performance of the burners.
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 cooktop.
Adequate supply of air. Your kitchen must provide an adequate supply of fresh air to ensure proper combus­tion and ventilation.
Start the ventilation hood approxi­mately five minutes before cooking on the cooktop; this establishes an air curtain, and improves the capture of vapor and moisture.
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.

When deep fat frying, be sure that the pan is large enough to accom-
modate 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. Use a deep fat frying thermometer to avoid heating the fat to temperatures above the flash point.
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.
WHAT TO DO
Always use dry pot holders when removing pans from the cooktop.
Wet or damp pot holders can cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
Choose pans with easily grasped handles that will stay cool while
cooking. Refer to Cookware Selec­tion on page 14.
When cooking, set burner controls
so that the flame does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Always turn panhandles inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners or the edge of the cooktop.
Always check the positions of the control knobs to make certain the
cooktop is off when you are finished cooking.

WOLF GAS COOKTOP USE & CARE
CONTINUOUS GRATES
The continuous low-profile cast iron grates of your gas cooktop 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. Refer to the illustra­tion below.
For the 762 mm and 914 mm gas cooktops, the continuous grates are interchangeable with each other, with the exception of the single grate on the 914 mm cooktop.

ILLUMINATED CONTROL PANEL
The control panel of your gas cooktop is illumi­nated for instant visual indication that any one or more burners are in use. It is a safety signal reminding you that a flame is on and active. The illustration below shows the control panel of the 914 mm gas cooktop.
CONTROL KNOBS
Each control knob is positioned to correspond to the burner regulated.
For the 381 mm and 914 mm cooktops, the knob on the lower left side regulates the lower left burner. Conversely, the knob on the upper right side regulates the upper right burner. The illustration below shows the configuration of the control knobs for the 914 mm gas cooktop.
Each knob on the 762 mm cooktop control panel has a diagram above it. The diagram shows which burner it regulates.
It is normal for the knobs to be slightly raised above the surface. This space is an air inlet necessary for good combustion of gas. Each knob rests on a valve stem with a rubber grommet at the base. This design prevents liquid spills from dripping into the controls below the burners.

DUAL-STACKED BURNER ASSEMBLY
The unique dual-stacked burner design of your gas cooktop 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 has a groove in the bottom, which allows the cap to fall into place when moved around the top of the burner. The cap should be flat relative to the burner when in the proper orientation. Failure to do this will result in a poor flame. Refer to the illustration below.
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.
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.

Failure to position the burner parts correctly could cause flames or gas to escape, causing heat damage to your cooktop, or burn between parts, resulting in poor combustion.

CONTROL KNOB OPERATION
Each burner has full flame and full simmer capabilities. Knobs are designed as two-tiered ”push-to-turn” knobs. One tier is used for through flame settings; the second tier controls settings. Refer to the illustra­tion below. Although this is a child-safe design, children should never be left unat­tended in the kitchen when the cooktop is in use.
To light a burner, push down and turn the corresponding control knob counterclockwise to the 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 down on the knob, continuing to turn it counterclockwise. This moves it to the second tier. Now, select any variation within the SIMMER flame settings— through .

Never leave pans on a setting unat­tended. Be particularly cautious when cooking food in fat or grease. It can become hot enough to ignite.
BEFORE USING YOUR COOKTOP
Before using for the first time, you should clean your gas cooktop 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. Apply a stainless steel polish to protect the finish and add luster. Refer to Care Recommendations on page 15.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before using your gas cooktop, check that the surface burner caps are positioned correctly.

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.
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. Refer to the illustration below.

Use the following guidelines when selecting cookware:
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 oversize bases that extend beyond the cooktop 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.
WOLF GAS COOKTOP USE & CARE
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.

CARE RECOMMENDATIONS
COMPONENT CARE RECOMMENDATION
Exterior Surface
Stainless steel
Burner Pan
Stainless steel
CAUTION:
Make sure the gas cooktop is off and all surfaces are cool before
cleaning any part of the cooktop.
Although stainless steel is resistant to most stains, it is 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.
Exterior finish:
To clean the exterior of a classic or platinum stainless steel model, use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply with a soft, lint-free cloth.
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.
Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will permanently scratch the surface. Do not use steel wool pads.
Cool first. Wash in warm water and liquid detergent or mild abrasive cleaner.
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.
Never wipe a warm or hot porcelain surface with a damp sponge; it may cause chipping or crazing (tiny hairlike cracks).
Remove from cooktop and place on a flat surface near the sink to clean.
Nonabrasive cleaners:
Hot water and liquid detergent or a paste of baking
soda and water; use a plastic pad or sponge.
Mild abrasive and abrasive cleaners:
Use sparingly.
To remove, slip the edge of a dish towel under the knob; pull edges together. Using the towel for leverage, lift up, pulling the knob off the valve stem.
General care:
Wipe each knob with damp cloth and mild soap and water; rinse and dry. Never soak or use abrasive cleaners; they will scratch the finish and remove the markings.
Spray cleaners:
Removes fingerprints and greasy food soils. Spray first on
a cloth before wiping panel.
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.

COOKTOP CLEANING TIPS
Wait until surfaces are cool before cleaning.
For best results, wipe up spills and spatters as they occur and immediately after the cooktop 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 cooktop, 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.
WOLF GAS COOKTOP USE & CARE
STAINLESS STEEL FINISH
For the stainless steel exterior finish, use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner and apply with a soft lint-free cloth.
To bring out the natural luster of both finishes, 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.
Under no circumstances should you use a metallic or highly abrasive cleaner or cloth, as this will permanently scratch the surface.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on your cooktop; they will permanently scratch the surface.
