OPERATING SUGGESTIONS
Open-Top Burners
Standard Oven Cooking
Allow time to preheat ovens before using (25 minutes to 400°F [204°C]). The oven thermostat regulates temperature from a low setting at approximately 250°F (121°C) to high setting at approximately 500°F (260°C). If properly used, the automatic temperature control is an efficient system. Turn thermostat down to LOW when oven is idling, or turn the oven control to OFF when not in use.
Moderate oven temperatures will produce better food, reduce shrinkage and keep maintenance costs down. Using a low temperature for roasting (recommended 325°F [162°C] or lower) will reduce meat costs by reducing shrinkage.
A pan of water (approximately 12" x 20" x 1" [305 mm x 508 mm x 25.4 mm]) may be placed in the oven bottom. This water supplies humidity to reduce shrinkage. If necessary, add water during roasting.
CLEANING
Shut off the gas before cleaning the appliance.
The appliance and its parts are hot. Be very careful when operating, cleaning, or servicing the appliance.
Exterior surfaces may be cleaned using soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use Dawn® dish detergent to clean the exterior or interior components of the range.
Do not use scouring powder. It is extremely difficult to remove completely. It can build up accumulations that will damage the oven.
Wolf equipment is strongly constructed and is designed to give you long, satisfactory service at low cost, provided you give it proper care. Frequent cleaning and occasional adjusting should reward you with low operating and maintenance costs and faster, better service.
DAILY CLEANING
Remove
While still warm, wipe top with a soft cloth or other grease absorbing material to remove spillovers, grease, etc., before they burn in.
Clean oven and oven door daily, especially if fruit pies or tomato sauces were baked, meats roasted, and if there have been spillovers.
After processing some foods at low temperatures, odors may linger in the oven. These odors may be cleared by setting the thermostat at 500°F (260°C) and allowing the oven to operate unloaded for 30 to 45 minutes.
