SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
TOP SURFACE BURNERS
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 OFF position before removing a pan from the burner grate.
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 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 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.
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 45–47.
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 bur allow pans to boil dr
ner or grate. Do not
y.
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 stor
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. Refer to Cookwar tion on page 43.

SURFACE BURNERS
A spark electrode ignites each surface burner.
his control eliminates the need for continuous
T open flame pilots. For added safety and convenience, each burner is designed with an
lectronic reignition system. This feature
e enables any burner to relight automatically in the event it is accidentally extinguished.
Large burners provide a rating of 15,000 Btu/hr (4.4 kW) on HIGH with 950 Btu/hr (.3 kW) deliv­ered at simmer. The small burner provides a rating of 9,200 Btu/hr (2.7 kW) on HIGH with 325 Btu/hr (.1 kW) delivered at simmer. All burners have simmer settings.
A distinguishing feature of Wolf’s low Btu/hr 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.
In case of a power outage, you can relight the surface burners manually. Turn the control knob to HIGH, then use a minimum 6" (152) igniter to manually light the burner.
DUAL-STACKED BURNER ASSEMBLY
he unique dual-stacked burner design
T 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 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
n the far left regulate the burners on the left
o side. Conversely, the knobs on the far right regulate the burners on the right side.
The precision fit of the control knobs requires
he use of a nyliner insertion between the knob
t and bezel. When removing knobs for cleaning, place the bearing back inside the bezel for easy reinstallation of the knobs. Refer to the illustra­tion on page 10.
To light a burner:
push in and turn the corre­sponding control knob counterclockwise to HIGH setting. You will hear a clicking sound and see the burner ignite. Once the burner is lit, continue turning the knob counterclockwise to any one of the settings – HIGH through LOW.
To select a SIMMER setting:
turn the burner knob to the LOW setting; you will feel a stop detent in the knob rotation. Push in on the knob, continuing to turn it counterclockwise. This moves the flame to the second tier. Now, select any variation within the SIMMER flame settings – HIGH through LOW.
Each knob is designed to be a ”push-to-turn” knob. Although this is a child-safe design, children should never be left unattended in the kitchen when the range is in use.

WOLF DUAL FUEL RANGE SURFACE OPERATION
FLAME HEIGHT AND APPEARANCE
Select a flame that is just high enough to maintain the desired cooking speed and is
ized to fit the base diameter of the pan. Never
s extend the flame beyond the base of the pan. Smaller diameter pans should be used on the
eft rear burner.
l
he flame on natural gas should be blue with a
T 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 an adjustment.
A ”popping” sound may be noticed with LP gas when the surface burner is turned off. This is normal.
GRATE PLACEMENT
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.
BEFORE USING YOUR RANGE
Before using for the first time, you should clean your dual fuel range thoroughly with hot
ater and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry with
w a soft cloth. This removes any residual oil and grease left on the surface from the manufac-
uring process. Refer to Care Recommenda-
t tions on pages 45–47.
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 charbroiler, griddle and French Top.
The use of proper cookware is very important. Refer to Cookware Selection on page 43 for cookware recommendations.
12
Continuous grates are interchangeable, exclud­ing the charbroiler grate with bur
ner 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 21/2 cups (.6 L) of liquid spillover per two-bur
ner pan.
WOLF DUAL FUEL RANGE SURFACE OPERATION
INFRARED CHARBROILER
This optional feature is designed with an infrared burner to give the highest quality and
ost efficient method of gas grilling. A radiant
m plate with numerous holes distributes the heat evenly over the grate. The burner becomes an
range-red color at the surface of the ceramic
o 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 16,000 Btu/hr (4.7 kW) at 100% full heat output.
Before using the charbroiler for the first time, place the radiant plate slots over the front deflector of the charbroiler frame. The edges of the charbroiler grate should line up on top of the assembly.
CHARBROILER TIPS
urn on the ventilation hood five minutes
T prior to using the charbroiler.
If the knob is not set fully at HIGH, the burner may turn blue and the automatic igniter will begin sparking. Turn the knob back to HIGH.
Always select lean meat or trim fat before grilling. Flaming may occur when grilling meat and poultry with excessive fat.
To minimize flare-ups when grilling chicken breasts and thighs, remove the skin. Brush pieces with peanut oil to reduce sticking to the grate.
If flare-ups occur, quickly move the food to another place on the grate with long tongs.
Apply basting sauce halfway through cooking time.
Use a minute timer as a reminder to turn the food over halfway through cooking time.
Leave the charbroiler on for approximately 10 minutes after grilling is complete. This allows for easier cleaning after the char­broiler has cooled sufficiently.
The suggested grilling times in the Charbroiler Grilling Guide on page 15 are
oximate. Actual
appr
times depend on the quantity, thickness and starting temperature of the food.
To prevent flare-ups, you must never leave the charbroiler unattended during use.

INFRARED GRIDDLE
The infrared griddle operates at 15,000 Btu/hr (4.4 kW) for natural gas and 13,000 Btu/hr
3.8 kW) for LP gas. It is thermostatically
( controlled, which means once the set tempera­ture is reached, the heat cycles to hold that
emperature. To prevent food from sticking and
t 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.
SEASON THE GRIDDLE
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 350˚F (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 1 teaspoon (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.

Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using the griddle.
To heat the griddle, push in the control knob and turn counterclockwise to the desired temperature. It is normal to hear a clicking sound. This is the electronic ignition lighting the burner. When the burner is lit, the thermostat will control the temperature.
When the griddle is preheated, the griddle indicator light will go out. The light will cycle on and off as the thermostat requires more heat to maintain the set temperature. This will allow heat to be evenly distributed and the griddle to maintain the set temperature.
The double griddle has two burners with separate control knobs that act independ­ently of each other. If only one griddle is being used, there will be some heat transfer to the inactive griddle.
To turn the griddle off, turn the control knob clockwise to the OFF position.
