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 Wolf Appliance 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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
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. Have 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 cooktop.
Before performing any service, turn
off the gas supply by closing the gas
shut-off valve and unplug the
cooktop electrical power cord from
the wall receptacle.
Keep the igniter clean and dry for
proper lighting and performance of
the burner.
In the event that the burner goes
out and gas escapes, open a
window or a door. Wait at least five
minutes before using the cooktop.
Keep appliance area clear and free
from combustible material.
Adequate supply of air. Your kitchen
must provide an adequate supply of
fresh air to assure proper combustion and ventilation.
Wear proper apparel. Never let loose
clothing or other flammable materials come in contact with the burner
while in operation. Fabric may ignite
and cause personal injury.
Always use dry potholders when
removing pans from the cooktop.
Wet or damp potholders can cause
steam burns. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth in place of potholders.
6
WHAT TO DO
Choose pans with easily grasped
handles that will stay cool while
cooking. Refer to Cookware
Selection on page 12.
When cooking, set the burner
control so the flame heats only the
bottom of the pan and does not
extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Always turn panhandles inward so
they do not extend over adjacent
work areas or the edge of the
cooktop.
Always check the position of the
control knob to make certain the
cooktop is off when you are finished
cooking.
Always light the burner prior to
placing a pan on the burner grate.
Also, turn the control knob to the
OFF position before removing
a pan from the burner grate.
Start the ventilation hood approximately five minutes before cooking;
this establishes an air curtain and
improves the capture of vapor and
moisture.
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.

Do not use aluminum foil to line any
part of the cooktop.
Never use the cooktop to warm or
heat the room.
Do not block or obstruct the hole in
the cooktop surface below the
control knob. Blocking this hole may
affect burner operation and may
result in a hazard.
When using the cooktop, do not
touch the grate, burner cap, burner
base or any parts in proximity to the
flame. These components may be
hot enough to cause burns.
If the cooktop is near a window, do
not use long curtains as a window
treatment, as they could blow over
the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
Do not leave children alone or
unattended in the area where the
cooktop is in use. Never allow

WOLF MULTI-FUNCTION COOKTOP USE & CARE
SURFACE BURNER
A spark electrode ignites the surface burner.
This control eliminates the need for a continuous open flame pilot. For added safety and
convenience, the burner is designed with an
electronic reignition system. This feature
enables the burner to automatically relight in
the event it is accidentally extinguished. For
additional safety, the cooktop is also equipped
with a gas safety shutoff valve in the case that
the attempt to reignite fails.
ILLUMINATED
CONTROL PANEL
The control panel of your multi-function
cooktop is illuminated for an instant visual
indication that the burner is in use. It is a
safety signal reminding you that the flame is
on and active.
CONTROL KNOB
It is normal for the control knob to be slightly
raised above the surface. This space is an air
inlet necessary for good combustion of gas.
The 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 burner. Refer to the illustration
below.

WOLF MULTI-FUNCTION COOKTOP USE & CARE
COOKTOP OPERATION
Before using for the first time, you should
clean your multi-function 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 14.
To light the burner, push down and turn the
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 counter clockwise to
any one of the settings— through .
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 cooktop. 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.
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:
The diameter of a flat bottom pan should
not exceed 305 mm. If using a pan with an
oversized base on settings, heat may
be trapped beneath the pan causing permanent damage to the surface finish.
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.

Refer to the following specific information
on woks.
Never leave a pan on the setting
unattended. Be particularly cautious
when cooking food in fat or grease. It can
become hot enough to ignite.
WOLF
MULTI-FUNCTION COOKTOP USE & CARE
WOKS
Wok cooking is versatile and quick. The bowllike pan distributes heat evenly and is perfect
for stir-frying, steaming, stewing and braising.
A wok with a diameter of up to 457 mm can be
used with the wok grate provided with your
multi-function cooktop. Woks are available in
carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum.
If possible, purchase a wok with a lid. Follow
the wok manufacturer’s directions for cooking
methods.
To prepare the wok for cooking, wash in soapy
water and dry thoroughly. If the wok is made
of carbon steel, the wok must be seasoned to
prevent rusting. To season, wipe the inside of
the wok with oil. Heat over HIGH heat until a
dark film forms. Do not remove the film.
Use the wok grate provided with your multifunction cooktop for wok cooking. The wok
should be centered on top of the burner when
placed on the wok grate.
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 the electrical
control, igniter, wires or knob valve stem.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When cooking with a
wok, make sure that the wok is sitting level on
the grate to prevent spills and uneven cooking.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners on your
cooktop; they will permanently scratch
the surface.

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.
For the classic stainless steel exterior finish,
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.
Hard water stains:
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
cleaners.
Remove from cooktop and place on a flat surface near the sink.
Nonabrasive cleaners: Hot water and liquid detergent, paste of baking soda
and water, plastic pad or sponge.
Mild abrasive and abrasive cleaners: Use sparingly.
Use white vinegar and water.

PRECAUCIONES E INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
QUÉ DEBE HACER
NOTA IMPORTANTE: Lea las
instrucciones antes de utilizar este
electrodoméstico.
Lea con detenimiento esta guía de
uso y mantenimiento antes de utilizar
la nueva placa para reducir el riesgo
de que se produzca un incendio, una
descarga eléctrica o de sufrir lesiones
personales.
Asegúrese de que la instalación y el
mantenimiento se llevan a cabo de
manera correcta. Este aparato debe
ser instalado y conectado a tierra
de manera correcta por un técnico
cualificado. Solicite al instalador que
le indique en qué lugar de su casa
se encuentra la válvula de cierre del
suministro de gas. Aprenda cómo y
dónde debe apagar el gas de la placa.
Antes de llevar a cabo cualquier tarea
de mantenimiento, corte el suministro
de gas cerrando la válvula de cierre y,
a continuación, desenchufe el cable de
alimentación eléctrica de la placa del
enchufe de pared.
Mantenga el encendedor limpio y
seco para que el encendido y el
rendimiento del quemador sea el
adecuado.
En el caso de que el quemador se
apague y se escape gas, abra una
ventana o una puerta. Espere al
menos cinco minutos antes de utilizar
la placa.
Mantenga el área del aparato despejada y procure no tener materiales
combustibles cerca.
Mantenga el suministro de aire
adecuado. La cocina debe disponer
de un suministro de aire fresco
adecuado para estar seguro de que
la combustión y la ventilación se
llevan a cabo de manera correcta.
Lleve ropa adecuada. No deje que
nunca que las prendas sueltas y
holgadas u otros materiales inflamables entren en contacto con el quemador mientras está en funcionamiento. El tejido puede incendiarse
y provocar heridas graves.
Utilice siempre elementos aislantes
secos para retirar las cazuelas de la
placa. Si los elementos aislantes están
húmedos o mojados pueden producir
quemaduras a causa del vapor. No
utilice un paño acolchado en lugar
de un elemento aislante.
19
QUÉ DEBE HACER
Utilice cacerolas con asas ergonómicas y que permanezcan frías al tacto
mientras está cocinando. Consulte la
sección Selección de utensilios de
cocina en la página 25.
Cuando esté cocinando, ajuste el
control del quemador para que la
llama caliente sólo la parte inferior
de la cacerola y no se extienda por
la parte superior del recipiente.
Gire siempre hacia adentro las asas
de los utensilios de cocina de manera
que no sobresalgan por las áreas de
trabajo próximas o por el borde de
la placa.
Cuando haya terminado de cocinar,
compruebe siempre la posición del
mando para asegurarse de que la
placa está apagada.
Encienda siempre el quemador antes
de colocar un recipiente en la rejilla
del quemador. También debe girar
el mando hacia la posición OFF
(apagado) antes de quitar el
recipiente de la rejilla del quemador.
Encienda la campana extractora
aproximadamente cinco minutos
antes de empezar a cocinar; de esta
manera creará una cortina de aire que
mejora la captura de vapor y
humedad.
Cuando esté friendo con abundante
aceite, asegúrese de que la sartén es
lo suficientemente grande como para
que quepan todos los alimentos que
desea cocinar sin que rebasen ya que
esto puede hacer que el aceite se
derrame. No deje nunca una sartén
desatendida cuando esté friendo. Evite
freír con abundante aceite alimentos
húmedos o cubiertos de escarcha; los
alimentos que contienen agua pueden
hacer que el aceite caliente salpique o
se derrame. Caliente el aceite lentamente, remueva y mezcle distintas
clases de aceite y grasa antes de
aplicar calor. Utilice un termómetro
para aceite para evitar que el aceite
alcance temperaturas que sobrepasen
el punto de ignición.

No almacene artículos que puedan
gustar a los niños encima o detrás de
la placa ya que pueden saltar sobre
ella para alcanzarlos y podrían resultar
heridos.
No utilice agua para apagar los incendios producidos por grasa. Baje la
llama o utilice un agente químico
seco o un extintor de espuma.
No deje nunca el aparato desatendido
cuando esté encendido. Los derrames
y las salpicaduras de grasa pueden
producir humo o pueden incendiarse.
No cubra el quemador ni la rejilla con
ningún objeto excepto los utensilios
seleccionados de manera adecuada.
No debe utilizar tapas decorativas.
No caliente recipientes con alimentos
que estén cerrados, por ejemplo,
envases de comida para bebés o latas.
La formación de presión puede hacer
que el recipiente explote y causar
heridas personales.

QUÉ NO DEBE HACER
No almacene materiales inflamables
cerca del quemador ni deje que la
grasa u otras sustancias se acumulen
en la placa.
No utilice limpiadores ni detergentes
abrasivos o cáusticos para limpiar
este aparato ya que podrían dañarlo
de manera permanente. No utilice
pulverizadores para limpiar ya que
podrían ser inflamables o podrían
oxidar las piezas de metal.
No almacene ni utilice gasolina ni
otros vapores ni líquidos inflamables
cerca de éste o de otros aparatos.
No limpie la placa mientras está
caliente. Si utiliza una esponja o un
paño empapado, espere hasta que la

vapor. Recuerde también que algunos
limpiadores pueden producir vapores
o gases perjudiciales o desagradables
cuando se aplican sobre superficies
calientes. Consulte la sección
Recomendaciones de mantenimiento
en la página 27.
