Dual Fuel Range Surface Operation 10 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 reignition system. This feature enables any burner to relight automatically in the event it is accidentally extinguished. A distinguishing feature of Wolf’s low Btu/hr control is its constant, low heat output without continuous ignitions.
Dual Fuel Range Surface Operation 11 wolfappliance.com Surface Burners CONTROL KNOBS FLAME HEIGHT AND APPEARANCE 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. 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.
Dual Fuel Range Surface Operation 12 Surface Burners TEMPERATURE SETTING GUIDE BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME SETTING USES LOW Simmer Melting, holding chocolate Melting butter Heating, holding delicate sauces Warming foods Before using for the first time, you should 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 care recommendations on pages 43–44.
Dual Fuel Range Surface Operation 13 wolfappliance.com Infrared Charbroiler The optional charbroiler has an infrared burner to give the most efficient method of gas grilling. A radiant plate with numerous holes distributes the heat evenly over the grate. The 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 sears the outside of the food to lock in juices and flavor.
Dual Fuel Range Surface Operation 14 Infrared Charbroiler CHARBROILER OPERATION CHARBROILER ASSEMBLY IMPORTANT NOTE: The stainless steel cover must be removed prior to operation of the charbroiler. Follow these steps to disassemble the charbroiler for cleaning: • Turn the control knob counterclockwise to the HIGH setting.

Use a soft bristle brush to remove food particles from the grate. Pour very hot water over the cooked-on residue.
Dual Fuel Range Surface Operation 16 Infrared Griddle The optional griddle is thermostatically controlled, which means once the set temperature is reached, the heat cycles to hold that temperature. To prevent food from sticking and 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.
Dual Fuel Range Surface Operation 17 wolfappliance.com Infrared Griddle GRIDDLE CARE GRIDDLE COOKING GUIDE IMPORTANT NOTE: Allow the griddle surface to cool sufficiently before cleaning. TEMPERATURE FOOD • Using a metal spatula, scrape grease into the grease collection tray. 200°F (95°C) Hold cooked food at serving temperature • When the surface has cooled, wipe it with a paper towel to remove excess grease or oil.
Dual Fuel Range Surface Operation 18 French Top The optional French top provides a graduated cooking surface with the hottest temperature under the center plate and the lowest temperature near the edges. This design makes it possible to use several pans at once for a variety of cooking tasks. For example, fry chicken toward the center, while simmering a sauce in one corner and keeping vegetables warm in a different corner. Place the pan or pans toward the edge according to their contents and quantity.
Dual Fuel Range Surface Operation 19 wolfappliance.com French Top FRENCH TOP OPERATION FRENCH TOP CARE IMPORTANT NOTE: The stainless steel cover must be removed prior to operating the French top. • It is best to maintain a seasoned surface to protect the cast iron from moisture. • Turn on the ventilation hood five minutes prior to using the French top. • Clean entire surface after each use while it is slightly warm. Wipe the surface with a mild detergent and water. Rinse and dry.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 20 Oven Features Cooking Modes and Features • Ten cooking modes and multiple features, each dedicated to giving the best results for a specific kind of cooking. This is the ultimate in oven performance, fine-tuned for your individual cooking preferences. The oven of your dual fuel range features ten cooking modes and multiple features for precise, easy-to-use control.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 21 wolfappliance.com Oven Operation OVEN PREHEAT BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME During preheat the oven is heated in a manner unsuitable for cooking. Preheat should be used for all cooking modes except broil and convection broil modes. In order not to damage food, preheating will not occur once the oven reaches its set temperature. Increasing oven temperature during cooking will result in the oven taking a very long time to reach the new temperature.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 22 Time-of-Day Clock Oven Timer Immediately after the oven is installed, set the 12-hour clock to the current time of day. It must be reset after a power failure. The clock is visible on the control panel during all modes, except when the timer feature is in use or when the hidden control panel is closed. Refer to the illustrations below. The oven has a timer that operates independently from the oven controls.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 23 wolfappliance.com Oven Racks OVEN RACK GUIDES OVEN RACK ARRANGEMENT To insert the rack guides in the oven, locate the screws in the oven side walls. Place the rack guide mounting tabs over the screw heads and slide down until the screws are fully seated in the tabs. Refer to the illustration below. One of the factors affecting optimum cooking results is the level of rack placement in the oven.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 24 Bake Mode In bake mode, both the hidden bake element and the broil element are used to heat the air, and they cycle on and off to maintain temperature. This mode is best for single-rack cooking, primarily baked foods. Always use bake mode for your standard recipes. The temperature probe may be used in this mode. Refer to the Wolf cooking guide on pages 45–47. Use cooking times as a guide for similar foods. WOLF TIPS FOR SUCCESS • Always preheat for bake mode.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 25 wolfappliance.com Roast Mode WOLF TIPS FOR SUCCESS • Always preheat for roast mode. • During preheat, convection fans and elements are used to quickly and uniformly heat the oven. • Roasting bags may be used. • When roasting a large item, such as a turkey, the pan should not cover the entire rack and block heat from circulating naturally. • Cook stuffed turkeys weighing over 15 lbs (6.8 kg) in roast mode. Always cook stuffing to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 26 Broil Mode In broil mode, the top heating element is used to produce an intense, radiant heat that browns one side of the food at a time. Broiled foods usually must be turned over to brown the other side and finish cooking. The high heat cooks quickly and gives a rich, brown outer appearance. This mode is best for meats, fish and poultry pieces up to 1" (25) thick. The temperature probe cannot be used with this mode. Refer to the Wolf cooking guide on pages 45–47.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 27 wolfappliance.com Convection Bake Mode The convection area of the oven dial is shown in black on the oven selector knob bezel. Refer to the Wolf cooking guide on pages 45–47. Use cooking times as a guide for similar foods. WOLF TIPS FOR SUCCESS • Always preheat for convection bake mode. • Reduce standard recipe temperatures by 25° in this mode. • The 30" and 36" ovens can bake multiple pies on the same rack, rather than on different racks.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 28 Convection Roast Mode In convection roast mode, heat from both convection fans, with additional heat from the broil element, intensifies the convective and radiant heating. In the 18" oven, the single convection fan works with the top heat. This combination gently browns the exterior and seals in juices, making it perfect for roasting tender cuts of beef, lamb, pork and poultry. The temperature probe may be used in this mode.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 29 wolfappliance.com Convection Broil Mode In convection broil mode, intense radiant heat from the top element browns and sears the surface of the food while both convection fans circulate hot air around the food. The 18" oven has a single convection fan. This mode shortens broiling times for thicker cuts of meat, fish and poultry. The heat of the broiler browns the exterior, while the convection fans keep the interior moist and juicy.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 30 Convection Mode In convection mode, dual convection fans, each with a heating element, operate from the back of the oven to move the heated air throughout the entire oven cavity. The 18" oven has a single convection fan. Uniform air movement makes it possible to multi-level rack cook in this mode. The heat is cycled on and off to maintain the temperature, resulting in evenly browned food. The temperature probe may be used in this mode.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 31 wolfappliance.com Proof Mode In proof mode, a combination of broil and bake elements are used to heat and balance the air to maintain temperature. This mode is ideal for proofing, or rising bread dough. There is a proof mode on the oven selector knob bezel on the 18" oven. Both the 30" and 36" ovens have a proof feature that can be initiated through bake mode. WOLF TIPS FOR SUCCESS • No need to preheat for proof mode. • Proof bread until dough has doubled in bulk.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 32 Bake Stone Mode A specially designed rack and bake stone are used for bake stone mode to assure the food quality expected from this specific form of cooking. To produce a hot oven environment necessary for baking on a ceramic stone, the heat from all elements creates the perfect “brick oven” effect. Both convection fans help circulate the air throughout the oven cavity, so even temperatures are achieved. The temperature probe may be used in this mode.
Dual Fuel Range Oven Operation 33 wolfappliance.com Bake Stone Mode SETTING CONTROLS BAKE STONE ACCESSORY 1) Turn oven selector knob bezel counterclockwise to STONE. Refer to the illustration below. The bake stone accessory is available through your authorized Wolf dealer. For local dealer information, visit the find a showroom section of our website, wolfappliance.com.
