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.
Page 11
11
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.
WOLF GAS COOKTOP USE & CARE
Dual-stacked burner assembly
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.
Page 13
13
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.
WOLF GAS COOKTOP USE & CARE

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.
