OPERATION OF THE 15", 30" and 36" WOLF GAS COOKTOP
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.
This cooktop has a unique dual stacked burner design that combines all the burner parts in one configuration. A
15K burner providing 15,000 Btu/hr rating on HIGH, Large burners providing a 12,000 Btu/hr rating on HIGH and a
small burner providing 9,200 Btu/hr rating 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. This is the ultimate control for simmering food.
After removing burner parts for any reason, it is extremely important that the burners are re-assembled correctly.
The burner cap has a special orientation and should be seated flatly. Rotate burner cap until you feel it drop and
click into position.
This patent pending 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.
Grate Placement
Low profile cast iron grates are designed for a close fit. This enables pans to move easily from one burner to anoth-
er 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 cooktop pan. Continuous grates are interchangeable with the exception of the single grate.
Control Knobs
Each knob is positioned to correspond to the burner regulated. For the 36-inch cooktop, the knob on the lower left
side regulates the lower left burner. Conversely, the knob on the upper right side regulates the upper right burner.
Each knob on the 30-inch cooktop control panel has a diagram above it. The diagram shows which knob to regu-
late.
It is normal for the knobs to be slightly elevated above the control panel surface. This space is an air inlet neces-
sary for good combustion of gas. Each knob rests on a valve stem with a rubber grommet at the base. This design
prevents liquid spills from dripping into the controls below the burners.
Burner Lighting
Each burner has full flame and full simmer capabilities. Knobs are designed as a two- tiered, "push-to-turn" knob.
One tier is used for HIGH through LOW flame settings. The second tier controls SIMMER settings.
Push down and turn the corresponding control knob counter clockwise to the HIGH setting. You will hear "clicking"
and see the burner ignite. Once the burner is lit, continue turning the knob counter clockwise to any one of the set-
tings, HIGH through LOW.
To select a simmer setting, turn the knob to the LOW setting. You will feel a stop-detente in the knob rotation. Push
down on the knob, continuing to turn it counter clockwise. This moves it to the second tier. Now, select any varia-
tion within the SIMMER flame settings, HIGH through LOW.
Illuminated Control Panel
This unique feature of the cooktop is an instant visual indicator that one or more burners are in use. It is also a
safety signal reminder that a flame is on and active.
