WOLF DUAL FUEL RANGE SURFACE OPERATION
BEFORE USING YOUR RANGE
Before using for the first time, you should
clean your dual fuel range thoroughly with hot
w
ater and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry with
a soft cloth. This removes any residual oil and
grease left on the surface from the manufac-
t
uring process. Refer to Care Recommenda-
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.
FLAME HEIGHT AND APPEARANCE
Select a flame that is just high enough to
maintain the desired cooking speed and is
s
ized 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
l
eft rear burner.
T
he flame on natural gas should be blue with a
deeper blue core. There should be minimal
trace of a yellow flame. A yellow flame indi-
cates 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.
Continuous grates are interchangeable, exclud-
ing 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 2
1
/2 cups (.6 L)
of liquid spillover per two-bur
ner pan.
