SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
USE AN EXTINGUISHER ONLY IF:
You alr e ad y k n ow how t o o p er a te it .
The fire is small and contained in
the area where it started.
The fire department is being called.
You can f i ght th e f i re wit h y our ba c k
to an exit.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF
ARANGEGREASEFIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Smother flames with a closefitting lid, baking sheet or other
metal tray; then turn off the gas
burner. Be careful to prevent
burns. If the flames do not go out
immediately, evacuate and call
the fire department.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan —
you may be burned.
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.
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 unpleasant 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 center them so that they
are well balanced.
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 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 appar el. 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 using the range, 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 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.
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
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 kit c h en m us t hav e a n ade q u 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.

DUAL-STACKED BURNER
ASSEMBLY
The unique dual-stacked burner design
combines all of the burner parts in one
assembly.
After cleaning or removing burner part s 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 illus tration below.
SURFACE BURNERS
Asparkelectrodeigniteseachsurfaceburner.
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 automatic ally in
the event it is ac cidentally 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.
AdistinguishingfeatureofWolf’slowkW
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
range, or burn between parts, resulting
in poor combustion.
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 bearing back inside the bezel for easy
reinstallation of the knobs. Refer to the illustration below.
COOKTOP OPERATION
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 of 5 seconds, 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, the user must return the
knob to the position and then turn the
knob to the position.
To ch ec k o pe r at io n o f t h e co o kt op b u rn e r, pu sh
in and turn the control knob to the
position. The flame should light 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, release
the knob, open a door and wait 1 minute
before attempting a new ignition procedure.
If the flames are extinguished - for any reason
whatever - turn OFF the control knob and 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.
Never leave pans on a setting unattended. Be particularly cautious when
cooking food in fat or grease. It can
become hot enough to ignite.

efore using for the first time, you should
clean your dual fuel range thoroughly with hot
w
ater and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry with
a soft cloth. This removes any residual oil and
g
rease 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.
F L A M E HE I G H T A N D A P P E A R A N C E
The flame on natural gas should be blue with a
deeper blue core. and no yellow tipping. If
burners show any abnormality check that
burner heads are correctly located and refer to
t
he ‘trouble shooting guide ’ on page 26. If sati-
f
actory performance can not be obtained,
c
ontact Multyflex. For service contact number
refer page 28 of this booklet.
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.
G R AT E P L A C E M E N T
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.

his optional feature is designed with an
infrared burner to give the highest quality and
m
ost efficient method of gas grilling. A radiant
plate with numerous holes distributes the heat
e
venly 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 f lare-ups, you m ust never
leave the grill unattended during use.
Do not use cookware on the g rill grate.

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 whi le 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

SEASON THE FRENCH TOP
Clean surface with detergent and warm
water. Rinse and dry.

prior to using the Fren ch 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 se a so n, s p re a d a l i gh t co a ti n g of p ea n ut
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.
