Outdoor Grill Use & Care 8

Before Lighting the Grill

Do not attempt to light the grill if you smell gas. If you
smell gas, shut off the gas supply and check for leaks.
Refer to the outdoor grill installation guide for the leak
testing procedure.

It is critical that the gas burners are properly installed
with the orifice inside the burner air shutter. If not
properly installed, gas may leak outside of the burner
that could lead to fire, potential damage to your grill
and bodily injury.

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with
the outdoor grill must be used. Any replacement pressure
regulator and hose assembly must be the type specified
by Wolf.

Prior to turning on the gas, inspect the gas supply piping
or hose. If there is evidence of cuts, wear or abrasion, it
must be replaced prior to use. Inspect the grill burners for
spiders and insects. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas
is present.

Burning gas cooking fuel generates some by-products
that are on the list of substances known to cause
cancer or reproductive harm. To minimize exposure to
these substances, always operate these units accord­ing to the instructions contained in this guide and
provide good ventilation.

If the outdoor grill uses LP gas, screw the regulator and
hand-tighten to the valve of the cylinder and check hose
and regulator connections for gas leaks before operating
the grill. Refer to the outdoor grill installation guide for the
leak testing procedure.

S
burner at the beginning of the grilling cycle helps lock in
juices and flavor. Sear meats quickly, followed by regular
grilling over grill burners.

Never allow liquids to come in contact with the infrared
sear burner since it could cause damage to the
ceramic tiles. Do not place briquette tray over infrared
sear burner. This will block the infrared heat and will
damage the tray.

he Wolf sealed smoker box can hold your favorite liquid

T
or soaked wood chips to give meat a smoky flavor. The
smoker box comes with all outdoor grills.

TO INSTALL AND USE THE SMOKER BOX

1) Remove one hex-grate and slide the remaining grates

to the side inside the grill, so the center is exposed.
Remove a center half-size briquette tray where there is
no flash tube. Refer to page 9 for location of flash tube.

2) Place the smoker box in place of the briquette tray.
The smoker box will always line up over the top of the
burner flame. For best results, have the smoker box
centered in the middle of the grill.

3) Open the smoker box lid and add your favorite soaked
wood chips. Place lid on top of smoker box. Do not
over-pack smoker box with wood chips.

4) Turn the burner under the smoker box on HI. Once
smoking begins, turn heat down to prevent wood chip
flare-up.

5) Wear a barbecue mitt to protect hands and slide grate
over smoker box and place food directly on grate over
smoker box for best results.

6) Every 30 to 45 minutes, slide grate to the side inside
grill to expose smoker box, open smoker box, stir
chips and add more if needed.

7) Turn food if needed. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until desired
temperature or doneness.

Using the Rotisserie

he rotisserie system rotates food in front of an infrared

T
burner for even cooking and a more juicy taste.

1) Install the rotisserie motor on the motor bracket and
plug it in to a GFCI 120 V AC outlet.

2) Insert the food in the middle of the spit rod and then
secure it with the meat forks on both ends by tighten­ing the thumb screws on the meat forks against one of
the flat sides of the hexagonal spit rod. If multiple
pieces of food will be cooked at the same time, make
sure the load is evenly balanced on the spit rod. Proper
load balance will allow even cooking and prolong the
life of the rotisserie motor.

3) Insert the spit rod in the rotisserie motor at the desired
cooking position. You may need to remove the hex­grates and warming rack to create clearance for large
loads of food. Refer to the illustrations on the following
page.

4) Always use the basting pan beneath the food to catch
drippings and prevent them from falling on the burners
and briquette trays. Hex-grates may be removed to
allow basting pan to sit directly on briquettes for large
loads.

IMPORTANT NOTE: W

keep the hood closed except when basting or checking
the food. A meat thermometer is recommended to verify
that the food is completely cooked.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In sunny conditions, it may be difficult

to see the flame to verify ignition of the infrared rotisserie
burner.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When not in use, the rotisserie motor

must be stored in an area protected from outdoor

Tips for Successful Grilling

Never leave food unattended.

•

GRILLING METHODS

• Cooking with the hood closed will decrease cooking

time, provide an even temperature, conserve gas,
lessen flare-ups and improve flavor.

• Trim excess fat from meats and slit the remaining fat at

two-inch increments to avoid flare-ups and curling.
Fatty meats may be cooked indirectly on lower heat
settings. Refer to the indirect grilling method instruc­tions.

• When opening the hood, wear an barbecue mitt that

covers your wrist. Stand to the side of the grill and lift
the hood handle slowly.

• Allow meat to defrost in the refrigerator overnight

rather than microwaving it to help retain juices.

• Apply salt only after cooking to prevent drying out the

meat.

• Baste meat with barbecue sauce or other sugar-based

sauces only during the last few minutes of cooking to
prevent burning.

• Turn food only once, halfway through cooking time.

• Use a spatula or tongs to turn meat instead of piercing

with a prong to prevent juices from escaping.

Direct method: Food is cooked directly over the heat
source. Turn food halfway through grilling time for even
cooking. The hood may be open or closed. Used for
steaks, chicken pieces, chops and vegetables.

Indirect method: Food is placed next to heated area, not
on top of it. Place food in the middle of the grill with the
outside burners on. Hood must be closed. Used for ribs,
large roasts, whole poultry and rotisserie grilling of large
roasts or poultry.

Select the grilling method best suited to the food you will
be cooking; direct, indirect or rotisserie. Refer to the Wolf
outdoor grilling guide on pages 19–21 for grilling method
recommendations.

HEAT SETTINGS

HI and SEAR: Used for quick searing of meats and

vegetables.

MED: Grill steaks, pork chops and hamburgers. You may
also sear meats on medium and cook them on low.

LO: Used for cooking dense vegetables, roasts, thick cuts
of meat, poultry and fish.

• Brush vegetables, lean cuts of meat, skinless poultry,

fish and seafood with oil to prevent sticking.

• If using bamboo skewers, soak the skewers in cold

water for 30 minutes before cooking time.

• To burn off grease drippings after cooking, operate the

grill on high for five minutes. When the grill cools down,
remove and clean the drip tray.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use aluminum foil, as food

grease may be trapped, causing flame flare-up.

(including sear) on HI. Do not turn on the rotisserie. Let the
grill heat for 15 to 20 minutes on HI with the hood closed.
Turn burners OFF and allow the grill to cool completely.

INTERIOR

• After the grill has cooled, remove debris from grates

with the grill brush. Remove grates and clean with
soapy water.

• Remove briquettes, shake or blow off any ash. Spray

with water if desired.

• Cover burner tubes and infrared sear burner with

plastic wrap. Spray inside the grill with oven cleaner
and let stand according to directions.

• Wipe out the inside of the grill with a sponge, SOS

pads and water. If necessary, a small putty knife can be
used to scrap off thicker debris.

EXTERIOR

Cleaning and Maintenance

STAINLESS STEEL

Wolf outdoor grills and carts are made of heavy-duty
classic stainless steel and are non-rusting and non­magnetic.

Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot. After the
initial grilling use, certain areas of the grill may discolor.
This is a normal discoloration caused by the intense heat
given off by the burners. Specks of grease can gather on
the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These
can be removed by using a mild abrasive pad, like Scotch
Brite, with a stainless steel cleaner. Use the mildest
cleaner and always scrub in the direction of the grain. Do
not use steel wool to clean stainless steel.

• After the grill has cooled, use a mild abrasive pad such

as Scotch Brite with a mild stainless steel cleaner to
scrub the stainless steel parts of your grill. Always
scrub in the direction of the grain.

Outdoor Grill Use & Care 16

Cleaning and Maintenance

HEXAGONAL GRILL GRATES

The best way to clean the hex-grates is to scrub them with
the grill brush (provided with the grill) immediately after
cooking is completed and the burners are turned off.

Wear a barbecue mitt to protect hands from the heat and
steam. Dip the grill brush in tap water and scrub the hot
hex-grates. Dip the brush frequently in the water. Steam,
created as water comes in contact with the hot grill, helps
loosen food particles stuck on the hex-grates. These food
particles will either get burned into the briquettes or fall
into the drip tray.

Never allow liquids to come in contact with the infrared
sear burner since it could cause damage to the
ceramic tiles.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not clean hex-grate section while

over the infrared sear burner. Hex-grates may be rotated
for cleaning.

SPIDERS AND INSECTS

Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of outdoor
grills which causes the gas to flow from the front of the
burner. This dangerous condition can cause a fire
behind the valve panel, damaging the grill and making
the grill unsafe to operate.

Inspect the grill burners for spiders and insects once a
year or if the grill has not been used for more than one
month or if any of the following conditions occur:

• The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner flames

appearing yellow.

• The grill does not reach temperature.

• The grill heats unevenly.

• The burners make a “popping” sound.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Cleaning the hex-grates would be

more difficult once they are allowed to cool. When
cleaning the hex-grates, make sure to not contact the
rotisserie burner.

Outdoor Grill Use & Care 17

wolfappliance.com

Cleaning and Maintenance

CERAMIC BRIQUETTE TRAY

It is not necessary to remove and clean the briquettes
from the briquette tray after every grilling. They will burn
themselves clean during the next cooking cycle. If desired,
you can burn them clean by operating the grill on high for
about 20 minutes.

Periodically, the briquette trays need to be cleaned. When
cool, remove the briquette trays from the grill, shake loose
the debris and wipe the trays clean. Do not handle a hot
briquette tray.

Do not place briquette trays over the infrared sear
burner. This will block the infrared heat and cause
damage to the tray.

INFRARED SEAR BURNER

The infrared sear burner has a stainless steel housing and
protective screen. The protective screen helps reflect heat
up to the cooking surface and also catches any food parti­cles from landing on the ceramic burner. At searing
temperatures that the burner reaches, all food particles
will be burned off. The only maintenance required is to
clean the protective screen and check for particles that
may be trapped.

DRIP TRAY

The pull-out drip tray collects grease, liquid and fallen
food particles. Allow the tray and its contents to cool
before cleaning. Slide the tray out and wipe it clean. Make
sure the drip tray is fully inserted back into the grill. To
avoid any possibility of a grease fire, it is highly recom­mended that you clean the tray after every use.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use the grill without the drip

tray fully inserted.

SMOKER BOX

The smoker box and lid can easily be removed from the
grill for cleaning. Empty contents and clean with soap and
water.

SMOKE ENHANCED

Use the smoker box to smoke enhance foods. Refer to
page 11 for information on how to install and use the
smoker box. There will be better smoking results if the
smoker box is not firmly packed with wood chips. Keep
the grill temperature between 200°F (95°C) to 250°F
(120°C) to slow cook the food for a better smoke
enhanced flavor. For a slower cooking procedure and less
smoke enhanced flavor, place the food above the smoker
box on the warming rack. Timing for the food on the
warming rack will be longer.
