Gas Rangetop Care

Cookware Selection

For best results, we recommend medium- to heavy-weight cookware. Pans should have a flat base, metal handle and good-fitting cover. Look for pans that are made of materials with good heat conductivity, such as aluminum and copper. Use the following guidelines when selecting cookware:

Select deep pans with high sides rather than ones with wide bases and low sides to avoid boilovers.

Cover pans while cooking to improve cooking efficiency. Water boils faster, using less fuel, and the kitchen stays cooler.

Select lower flame settings when using pans made of cast iron, enameled steel or glass ceramic, or pans coated with a nonstick finish. High heat may cause “hot spots”, scorching and burning.

Pans with oversize bases that extend beyond the rangetop frame should not be used. On high settings, heat may be trapped beneath the pan causing perma- nent damage to the surface finish.

For ease in handling, use front burners for larger pans.

Use a wok with a flat bottom.

Troubleshooting

If your Wolf gas rangetop is not operating properly, use the following troubleshooting guide before calling your Wolf authorized service center. This guide will save you time and trouble and may help you avoid the expense of a service call.

Rangetop does not operate.

Check that the electrical connection to the rangetop has not been disconnected, or if the household fuse or circuit breaker has been blown or tripped.

A power outage may have caused a disruption in service.

Burner flame does not burn evenly.

Burner parts may not be assembled correctly. Refer to burner assembly on page 9.

Burner fails to ignite.

Igniter is damp. Allow it to dry completely.

Burners extinguish themselves when using more than one large pan simultaneously.

Good gas combustion requires the correct amount of airflow to maintain the flame. Using two oversized pans simultaneously restricts air movement.

Food boils or burns more in one area of a pan.

Pan is not centered above the burner or base of pan does not rest flat on the burner grate.

Pan does not conduct heat evenly.

Water does not come to a boil fast enough.

Cover pan for most efficient use of the high setting.

Diameter of pan is too large or base of pan is warped.
