SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & PRECAUTIONS
THE RANGE
Read this Use and Care
Information carefully before using your new Dual Fuel Range to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
Insure proper installation
and servicing. This appli­ance must be properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
Have your installer show
you where the fuse or junc­tion box is located in your home. This will enable you
to know how and where to turn off the electricity to the oven.
Do not use aluminum foil
to line any part of the cooktop or oven cavity.
Always use dry pothold-
ers when removing pans from the oven or cooktop. Wet or damp potholders can cause steam burns. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders.
Do not use the appliance
to warm or heat the room.
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.
Never leave the range
unattended when in use.
Do not leave children
alone or unattended in the area where the range is in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the range. Do not let chil­dren play with the cooktop or oven.
TOP SURFACE BURNERS
Have your installer show
you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located in your home. This will enable
you to know 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 for the burners.
Keep appliance area
clear and free from combustible material.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE
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 any flames with a lid, baking sheet or metal tray. Flaming grease can be extinguished with baking soda or a multi­purpose chemical or foam extinguisher.
Do not heat unopened
food containers as they could burst and cause injury.
Do not store combustible,
flammable or explosive materials near burners, oven or adjacent cabinets,
or let grease or other flam­mable substance accumu­late on the cooktop.
5
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 unit.
Do not obstruct the flow
of combustion and ventila­tion air. Your kitchen must
provide an adequate supply of fresh air to assure proper combustion and ventilation.
When cooking, set burner
controls so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not
extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS & PRECAUTIONS
Always check the posi-
tions of the control knobs
to make certain the range or top surface burners are off when you are finished cooking.
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.
Do not clean the range
while it is still hot. If using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has cooled sufficiently to prevent steam burns. Also, some cleaners can produce harmful or unpleasant fumes if applied to hot surfaces. (Refer to Top Surface Burner Care on page 14).
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 ten minutes before cooking on the range or top surface burners; this establishes an
air curtain, and improves the capture of vapor and moisture.
When deep fat frying,
be certain that the pan is large enough to contain 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 turn panhandles
inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, burners or the edge of the range.
7
Do not use commercial
oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings on any part of the oven.
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 clean the door
gasket, because rubbing, or moving the door gasket may eliminate the required tight door seal.
Do not touch heating
elements or interior surfaces of oven.

SURFACE BURNERS
A spark electrode ignites each surface burner. This control eliminates the need for contin­uous open flame pilots. For added safety and convenience, each burner is designed with an electronic re-ignition system. This feature enables any burner to automatically re-light in the event it is accidentally extin­guished.
In case of a power outage, the surface burners can be re-lit manually, see page 12.
W OLF T OP S URFACE O PERATION
DUAL-STACKED BURNER ASSEMBLY
The unique dual-stacked burner design combines all the burner parts in one assembly piece.
Large burners provide a Btu/hr rating of 15,000 on HIGH. Small burners provide a Btu/hr rating of 9200 on HIGH. All burners have simmer settings.
A distinguishing feature of Wolf's low Btu/hr control is its constant, low heat output without continuous ignitions. Flame diameter remains full size; only the heat output is lowered.
The Simmer gives you ultimate control for preparing your food.
After cleaning or removing burner parts for any reason, it is extremely important that you reassemble burners correctly.
The burner cap has a special orientation and should be seated flatly. Match notches on the burner cap to align with the tabs on bottom of burner.
This patented dual-stacked burner configuration makes it possible to enjoy cooking at full flame as well as maintaining control while simmering at the lowest flame setting.
BEFORE USING FOR
THE
FIRST TIME
Clean your range 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.
Refer to Top Surface Care on
page 14.
Check that the burner caps
are positioned correctly.
Griddles and French Tops
need to go through a "burn in" to clean oils from the bottom of these assemblies. See pages 18-21 for cleaning directions.
CAUTION
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 range.

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 installation of the knobs after cleaning.
FLAME HEIGHT
AND
APPEARANCE
Select a flame that is just high enough to maintain the desired cooking speed and 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.
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/gas or impurities in the gas supply to the range. If this consistently occurs, call a Wolf Factory Authorized Service Center Technician 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.
W OLF T OP S URFACE O PERATION
To light a burner, push in and turn the corresponding control knob counter clockwise to HIGH setting. You will hear a "clicking" and see the burner ignite. Once the burner is lit, continue turning the knob counter clockwise 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 counter clockwise. 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.
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.
Continuous grates are inter­changeable (excluding the charbroiler 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 2-1/2 cups of a liquid spillover per two-burner pan.

POWER OUTAGE
In case of a power outage, the surface burners can be re-lit manually. Turn the control knob to "HIGH", and then place a flame near the igniter to light. Use a minimum six inch length igniter for manual light­ing of surface burners.
W OLF T OP S URFACE O PERATION
When using pans made of
cast iron, enameled steel, 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, uses less fuel to come to boiling and keeps the kitchen cooler.
Select high-sided (deep) pans,
rather than ones with very wide bases and low sides. High sides will minimize liquids boiling out of the pan.
Pans with oversize bases that
extend beyond the range frame should not be used. On HIGH settings, heat may be trapped beneath the pan causing perma­nent damage to the surface finish.
Use the front burners for
larger pans. The pans are easier to handle, especially when hot.
Use a wok with a flat bottom,
if not using the grate accessory.
WARNING
Never leave pans on a high setting unattended for long periods of time. Be particu­larly cautious when cooking food in fat/grease. It can become hot enough to ignite.
CAUTION
As a safety measure, it is important to light each burner individually. Do not try to manually re-light the French Top, charbroiler or griddle.
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 construction. If present, whether visible from the outside or not, they aid in evenly conducting heat.
Griddles or open roasters
that span two burners are suit­able, providing they are not warped.
When a large pan is centered
over a burner, the diameter should not exceed ten inches.

HELPFUL HINTS
Wait until surfaces are cool
before cleaning.
Best results occur by wiping
up spills and spatters as they occur and immediately after the cooktop has cooled. If splatters are allowed to bake 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 over-spray is contained to the finish being cleaned.
Do not spray cleaners on
electrical controls, igniters, wires or knob valve stems.

Care Recommendation
Resistant to most stains, but not totally impervious to damage. Salt and some cooking liquids may pit and stain the surface. Always remove these spills immediately.
General care: Use a clean cloth or sponge; wipe with warm water and a mild dish detergent. Rinse and dry immediately.
Spray degreasers: Removes fingerprints and greasy spatters. Spray on a cloth and wipe surface. Buff dry immediately to avoid streaking.
Protective polish: Apply to surface to maintain luster and protect from food stains.
Hard water stains: Use white vinegar and water.
General care: Cool first. Remove grate. Wash caps in warm water and liquid deter-
gent or mild abrasive cleaners. Foods high in acid or sugar content, such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, pie filling, may pit or craze the surface. Remove as soon as possible; do not cook the spill on again.
Remove from the range and place on a flat surface near the sink.
Non-abrasive cleaners: Hot water and liquid detergent, paste of baking soda and water, plastic pad or sponge.
Mild abrasive and abrasive cleaners: Use sparingly.
To remove the knobs, pull the knobs forward off the valve stem (see page 11 on nylon bearing).
General care: Wipe each knob with damp cloth and mild soap and water; rinse and dry. Never soak in water or use abrasive cleaners; they will scratch the finish and may remove the markings. Do not place in dishwasher.
NOTE: Please hand wash all decorative components of your Dual Fuel Range. This includes the knobs, bezels, grates and burner caps. A dishwasher should not be used to clean any of these components.
Keep dry; never spray water or cleaner directly on the igniter. When cleaning around the surface burner, be careful that the cloth does not catch on the igniter and damage.
NOTE: The reference to brand names is not an endorsement but intended as an example of a cleaning product.

CHARBROILER
This optional feature is designed with an infrared burner to give the highest quality and most efficient method of gas grilling. This 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 chars the outside of the food, leaving the inside tender and juicy.
The infrared burner is designed to operate at 100% full heat output at 16,000 Btu/hr.
Always select lean meat or
trim fat before grilling. Excessive flames may occur when grilling meat and poultry with excessive fat.
Apply basting sauce halfway
through cooking time.
Use a minute timer as a
reminder to turn the food over halfway through cooking time.
W OLF C HARBROILER F EATURE
CHARBROILING TIPS
• Turn on the ventilation hood 10 minutes prior to using the charbroiler.
The timings in the grilling
chart are approximate. Actual timings depend on the quantity, thickness and starting tempera­ture of the food.
To minimize flare-ups when
grilling chicken breasts and thighs, remove the skin. Brush pieces with peanut oil to reduce sticking on the grate.
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".
If flare-ups occur, use long
tongs and quickly move the food to another place on the grate.
CHARBROILER OPERATION
Turn the knob counter clock-
wise until you hear a clicking noise. This is the electronic igniter. Then continue turning counter clockwise to "HIGH".
Preheat grill for about ten
minutes before adding the food. The ceramic tiles will have an orange-red glow.
The 22-inch charbroiler, has
two separate burners with sepa­rate control knobs, which act independently of each other.
WARNING
To prevent flare-ups, never leave the charbroiler during use.
CAUTION
Do not use cookware on the charbroiler grate.
CAUTION
The stainless steel cover must be removed prior to operation of the char­broiler.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: To keep the charbroiler looking its best, it is recom­mended to clean after every use. Do not use any commercial cleaners on any part of the charbroiler assembly.
1) Remove the charbroiler grate.
2) Remove the front angled deflector plate.
3) Remove the charbroiler decorative frame.
4) After cleaning, put charbroiler decorative frame back in place.
5) Line up the two small tabs on the bottom of the front angled deflector plate with the notches in the decorative frame. The two tabs should fit securely in the notches, and the front angled deflector plate should rest along the front of the decorative frame.
6) Reinstall charbroiler grate.
Igniter (ceramic): Avoid
contact with the igniter; it is fragile and can chip or break.
