Gas Rangetop Operation

10

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.

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

rangetop 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 illustra-

tion below.
