SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
TOP SURFACE BURNERS
Have your installer show you where
the gas supply shut-off valve is
located in yo ur home. Learn how
and where to turn off the gas to the
range.
Before performing any service, turn
off the gas supply by closing the gas
shut-off valve and turn off the electricity to the oven.
Keep igniters clean and dry for
proper lighting and performance of
the burners.
Keep appliance area clear and free
from combustible material.
In the event that a burner goes out
and gas escapes , open a window or
adoor.Waitatleastfiveminutes
before using the unit.
Do not obstruct the flow of air.
Your k i tch e n m u st h ave an a d equ ate
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 panhandles inward so
they do not extend over adjacent
work areas, burners or the edge of
the range.
Always check the positions of the
control knobs to make certain the
range or 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 des ired volume of food
without overflow caus ed by
bubbling of the fat. Never leave a
deep fat fryer unattended. Avoid
deep fat fryin g 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. Uti lize 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.
Do not clean the range while it is
still hot. If using a damp sponge or
cloth, wait until the range has cooled
sufficiently to prevent steam burns.
Also, some cleaners can produce
harmful or unplea sant fumes if
applied to hot surfaces. Refer to care
recommendations on pages 23– 25.
Keep any ventilation filters clean to
avoid grease fires.
Always set pans gently onto the
grates and c enter them so that they
are well balan ced.
Do not allow aluminum foil, plastic,
paper or clo th to come in contact
with a hot burner or grate. Do not
allow pans to boil dry.
Start the ventilation hood approximately five min utes before cooking
on the range 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 pers onal injury.
When using the range, do not touch
the grates, bur ner caps, burner
bases or any other parts in proximity
to the flame. These components
may be hot enough to cause burns.
If the range is near a window, do
not use long curtains as a window
treatment, as they could blow over
the range 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF

W O L F D U A L F UEL R A N G E S U RFACE OPERATION
Burner Cap
Sealed Burner
S URF ACE B U R N ERS
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 reignitio n system. This feature
enables any burner to relight automatically i n
the event it is accidentally extinguished.
Large burners provide a rating of 3.9 kW
(14.0 MJ) on with 0.37 kW (1.36 MJ) delivered at simmer. The small burner provides a
rating of 2.5 kW (9.0 MJ) on with 0.23 kW
(0.82 MJ) 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 patent
ed 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.
D U AL-ST A CKE D BURN E R
ASSEMBL Y
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 must be seated flatly on the
burner. There is a groove on the bottom of the
burner cap. Adjust the burner cap until it drops
into place and is seated flat on top of the
burner. Failure to do this will result in a poor
flame. Refer to the illustration below.
Failure to position the burner parts
correctly could cause flames or gas to
escape, causing heat damage to you r
range, or burn between parts, resulting
in poor combustion.

C ONTROL K NOB S
The control knobs are positio ned 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 b urners on the right side.
The precision fit of the control k nobs requires
the use of a nyliner insertion between the knob
and bezel. When removing knobs for cleaning,
place the bearing back inside the bezel for easy
reinstallation of the knobs. Refer to the illustrati
on below.
Nyliner Insertion
COOKT OP O P E R AT ION
The cooktop burner uses an electronic igniter
in place of a standing pilot. When the cooktop
control knob is pushed in and turned to the
position, the system creates a spark to
light the burner. This sparking continues for 4
seconds or until the electronic ignition senses a
flame, which ever comes first. If the igniter fails
to ignite the gas in 4 seconds, the gas safety
shutoff valve will close, eliminating the gas
flow for 5 seconds. The valve will reopen after
the purge time of5seconds, and the igniter
will automatically attempt to re-ignite the gas.
This cycle of events is attempted 3 times. After
the third attempt, in order for gas to flow to the
burner once again, t
he user mus t return th e
knob to the position and then turn the
knob to the position.
To check operation of the cooktop burner, push
in and turn the control knob to the
position. The flame should l ight within four
seconds.
If the burner does not light properly, turn the
control knob to the position. Check that
the burner head is in the proper position.
Check that the power supply cord is plugged in
and that the circuit breaker or house fuse has
not blown.
Check operation again; If flame is not established within the ignition cycle time, relea se
the knob, openadoor and wait 1 minute
before attemptinganew ignition procedure.
If the flames are extinguished - for any reason
whatever - turn OFF the control knob an
d wait
at least 1 minute before retrying to ignite the
burner.
Ensure that the flames do not extinguish when
you reduce to low flame quickly. Check correct
operation of each burner individually and in
combination.

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 grill grate with 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 600 ml of liquid
spillover per two-burner pan.
Before using for the first time, you should
clean your dual fuel range 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 23–25.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before using your dual
fuel range, check that the surface burner caps
are positioned correctly.
The optional griddle and French Top needs 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 grill, griddle
and French Top.
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
4.2 kW (15.0 MJ) at 100% full heat output.
Before using the grill for the first time, place
the radiant plate slots over the front deflector
of the grill frame. The edges of the grill grate
should line up on top of the assembly.
To prevent flare-ups, you must never
leave the grill unattended during use.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The stainless steel cover
must be removed prior to operation of the
grill.
Turn the knob counterclockwise to .
Preheat grill for about 10 minutes before
adding the food. The ceramic tiles will have
an orange-red glow.
Trim any excess fat from the meat before
cooking.
Locate the food on the grill evenly.
Do not pierce the meat while grilling. It may
loose it’s juices.
During grilling dripping fat may flare up
briefly.
Do not leave the grill unattended while
cooking.
To turn the grill off, turn the control knob
clockwise to the position.
After cooking is completed and all the food is
removed from the grill, leave the burner operating for 10 minutes to allow for any residue to
be removed from the infrared surface.
Do not use cookware on the grill grate.

6)
Reinstall the grill grate.
Be careful when assembling the components. Avoid any contact with the igniter;
it is fragile and can chip or break.
G R I L L C A R E
To keep the grill looking its best, it is recommended that you clean it after every use.
Grill 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.
Grill Radiant Plate
(stainless steel) Lift up
the radiant plate from the grill frame Soak
in hot water and dish detergent. Wash thoroughly, scrubbing with scouring pad, if
needed. When placing the radiant plate
back on the grill frame the slots in the font
edge of the radiant plate must go over the
angled plate on the grill frame, the slots
should fit over front angle and sit flat.
Grill frame
(stainless steel) To remove from
the range list directly vertical take care of
trim between the grill frame and the burner
tray. Soak in hot water and dish detergent.
Wash thoroughly, scrubbing with scouring
pad, if needed. When fitting the grill frame
take care not to damage the ignitor and
ensure that the trim is placed back between
the grill frame and the burner tray.
Radiant Burner
Use a soft brush to remove
any ash particles that have been left on the
burner surface, the burner surface can be
wiped with a soft damp cloth.
Igniter
(ceramic): Avoid contact with the
igniter; it is fragile and can chip or break.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not use any commer-
cial cleaners on any part of the grill assembly.
The infrared griddle operates at 4.2 kW
(15.0 MJ). 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.
S E A S O N T H E G R I D D L E
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 single 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 OFF. When the griddle has
cooled and is only slightly warm, wipe off
any excess oil. Let the griddle cool
completely.
Repeat with another 5 ml of oil. The brown
appearance will darken with use.
Allow the grill surface to cool sufficiently
before cleaning.

FRENCH TOP
The 3.9 kW (14.0 MJ) 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 to ward 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 qua ntity. 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.

it is necessary to season the French Top prior
to use. This seasoning process as well as
general use will change the appearanc e of the
French Top.

water. Rinse and dry.

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.

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, food spatters will not stain and 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.
Allow the griddle surface to cool sufficiently before cleaning.
