using this appliance.
•
Installation and service must be performed by a
qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
•
Warranty service must be performed by a Wolf
authorized service center.
•
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
•
A ventilation hood is recommended for use with the
Wolf gas range.
Read this use & care guide carefully before using
your new gas range 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 supply to the range.
•
Before performing any service, turn off the gas
supply by closing the gas shut-off valve and unplug
the range power cord from the wall receptacle.
•
Keep igniters clean and dry for proper lighting and
performance for 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 range.

extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Safety Instructions 5
wolfappliance.com
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
•
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 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 frost-covered 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 use dry pot holders when removing pans
from the range. 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 28.
•
Always turn panhandles inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, burners or the
edge of the range.
•
Always light each 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.
•
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.
•
Start the ventilation hood approximately five minutes
before cooking. This establishes an air curtain and
improves the capture of vapor and moisture.
•
Use oven only for cooking tasks expected of a home
oven as outlined in this guide.
•
Always properly clean and maintain the oven as
recommended in this guide.
•
Exercise caution when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before looking or reaching
into the oven.
•
Position oven racks in desired locations when oven
is cool. If a rack must be repositioned after the oven
is already hot, be certain pot holder does not contact
a hot heating element in the oven.
•
Clean only those parts listed in this guide.
•
Always check the positions of the control knobs to
make certain the range is off when you are finished
cooking.
Safety Instructions 6
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
•
Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless
specifically recommended in literature accompanying this appliance. All service should be referred to a
qualified technician.
•
Do not obstruct the flow of air. Your kitchen must
have an adequate supply of fresh air to ensure
proper combustion and ventilation.
•
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the
range.
•
Never use the range to warm or heat the room.
•
Do not block or obstruct the holes in the range
surface below the control knobs. Blocking these
holes may affect burner operation and may result in
a hazard.
•
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.
•
Do not clean the oven gasket, because rubbing or
moving the gasket may compromise the door seal.
•
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area
where the range is in use. Never allow children to sit
or stand on the appliance. Do not let children play
with the range.
•
Do not store items of interest to children above or at
the back of the range, as they could climb on the
appliance to reach items and be injured.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the flame
•
or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
•
Never leave the appliance unattended when in use.
Boilovers and greasy spills may smoke or ignite.
•
Do not cover the burners and grates with anything
except properly selected utensils. Decorative covers
should not be used.
•
Do not heat unopened food containers, such as
baby food jars and cans. Pressure build-up may
cause the container to burst and cause injury.
•
Do not store flammable materials near burners or let
grease or other flammable substances accumulate
on the range.
•
Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or detergents on this appliance, as these may cause permanent damage. Do not use aerosol cleaners, as these
may be flammable or cause corrosion of metal parts.
•
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
•
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 26–27.
•
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.
•
Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of
the oven.

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.
BURNER ASSEMBLY
After removing burner parts for cleaning, it is important
that you reassemble the burners correctly. Refer to the
illustrations below for proper alignment of the base and
upper burner parts. The center burner cap does not have
a special orientation but should be seated flat.
GRATE PLACEMENT
Position the porcelain-coated, cast iron burner grates with
the five fingers of each grate facing toward the front of the
gas range. The back of each grate has three fingers. Refer
to the illustration below.
Failure to position the burner parts correctly could
cause flames or gas to escape and burn between
parts, resulting in poor combustion or damage to your
gas range.

Surface Burners
CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs are positioned to correspond to the
surface burners they regulate. Each knob is designed as
a push-to-turn knob. Even though this is a child-safe
design, children should never be left unattended near the
range while it is in use.
To light a surface burner, push in and turn the control knob
counterclockwise to HIGH. You will hear a clicking sound.
This is the electronic igniter. Once the burner is lit,
continue turning the knob counterclockwise to the desired
setting. There are four settings—HIGH, MED (medium),
LOW and SIM (simmer). You will feel a slight detent in the
knob rotation when each setting is aligned.
MANUAL LIGHTING
In case of a power outage, you can relight the surface
burners manually. Turn the control knob to HIGH, then
light the burner using a BBQ lighter. Refer to the illustration below.
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. Refer to the illustrations below.
A natural gas flame 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 adjustment.
A “popping” sound may be noticed with LP gas when the
surface burner is turned off. This is normal.
