WHAT TO DO
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all
instructions before using this
appliance.
Read this Use & Care Information
carefully before using your new
cooktop to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock or injury to persons.
Ensure proper installation and
servicing. This appliance must be
properly installed and grounded by
aqualified technician. Have installer
show you where the gas supply
shut-off valve is located in your
home. Learn how and where to turn
offthe gas to the cooktop.
Beforeperforming any service, turn
offthe gas supply by closing the gas
shut-off valve and unplugging the
cooktop electrical power cord from
the wall receptacle.
Keep igniters clean and dry for
proper lighting and performance of
the burners.
In the event that a burner goes out
and gas escapes, open a window or
adoor. Wait at least five minutes
before using the cooktop.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
Adequate supply of air. Your kitchen
must provide an adequate supply of
fresh air to ensure proper combus-
tion and ventilation.
Start the ventilation hood approxi-
mately five minutes before cooking
on the cooktop; this establishes an
air curtain, and improves the capture
of vapor and moisture.
Wear proper apparel. Never let loose
clothing or other flammable materi-
als come in contact with the burners
while in operation. Fabric may ignite
and cause personal injury.
Always use dry pot holders when
removing pans from the cooktop.
Wet or damp pot holders can cause
steam burns. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
Choose pans with easily grasped
handles that will stay cool while
cooking. Refer to Cookware Selec-
tion on page 14.
When cooking, set burner controls
so that the flame does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
Always turn panhandles inward so
they do not extend over adjacent
work areas, burners or the edge of
the cooktop.

5
WHAT NOT TO DO
Do not repair or replace any part of
the cooktop unless specifically
recommended in literature accompa-
nying this appliance. All service
should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Do not obstruct the flow of combus-
tion and ventilation air.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any
part of the cooktop.
Never use the cooktop to warm or
heat the room.
Do not store flammable materials
near burners or let grease or other
flammable substances accumulate
on the cooktop.
Do not use abrasive or caustic
cleaners or detergents on this appli-
ance as these may cause permanent
damage. Do not use aerosol
cleaners as these may be flammable
or cause corrosion of metal parts.
Do not storeor use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Keep appliance area clear and free
from combustible material.
Always check the positions of the
control knobs to make certain the
cooktop is off when you are finished
cooking.
When deep fat frying, be sure that
the pan is large enough to accom-
modate the desired volume of food
without overflow caused by
bubbling of the fat. Never leave a
deep fat fryer unattended. Avoid
deep fat frying of moist or frost-
covered foods, as foods with high
water content may cause spattering
or spilling of the hot fat. Heat fat
slowly,and stir together any combi-
nations of oils and fats prior to
applying heat. Use a deep fat frying
thermometer to avoid heating the fat
to temperatures above the flash
point.
Always light each burner prior to
placing a pan on the burner grate.
Also, turn the control knob to the
OFF position before removing a pan
from the burner grate.

greasy spills may smoke or ignite.
Do not cover the burners and grates
with anything except properly
selected utensils. Decorative covers
should not be used.
Do not heat unopened food contain-
ers such as baby food jars and cans.
Pressure buildup may cause the
container to burst and cause injury.
Do not clean the cooktop while it is
still hot. If using a damp sponge or
cloth, wait until the cooktop has
cooled sufficiently to prevent steam
burns. Also, some cleaners can
produce harmful or unpleasant
fumes if applied to hot surfaces.
Refer to Care Recommendations on
page 15.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Do not block or obstruct the holes
in the cooktop surface below the
control knobs. Blocking these holes
may affect burner operation and
may result in a hazard.
When using the cooktop, do not
touch the grates, burner caps,
burner bases or any other parts in
proximity to the flame. These
components may be hot enough to
cause burns.
If the cooktop is near a window, do
not use long curtains as a window
treatment, as they could blow over
the cooktop and create a firehazard.
Do not leave children alone or
unattended in the area wherethe
cooktop is in use. Never allow
children to sit or stand on the
appliance. Do not let children play
with the cooktop.
Do not store items of interest to
children above or at the back of the

appliance to reach items and be
injured.
Do not use water on grease fires.
Smother the flame or use a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher and you already know
how to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in
the area where it started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your back
to an exit (NFPA Fire Safety Tips).
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF
A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE,
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:
Smother flames with a close-
fitting lid, baking sheet or other
metal tray, then turn off the gas

WOLF GAS COOKTOP USE & CARE
CONTINUOUS GRATES
The continuous low-profile cast iron grates of
your gas cooktop are designed for a close fit.
This enables you to move pans easily from
one burner to another 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 burner pan. Refer to the illustra-
tion below.
For the 30" (762) and 36" (914) gas cooktops,
the continuous grates are interchangeable with
each other, with the exception of the single
grate on the 36" (914) cooktop.

WARRANTY
Wolf products are
covered by a two
and five year
residential
warranty (exclu-
sions apply). See
warranty details
at the end of this
guide.
ILLUMINATED CONTROL PANEL
The control panel of your gas cooktop is illumi-
nated for instant visual indication that any one
ormore burners are in use. It is a safety signal
reminding you that a flame is on and active.
The illustration below shows the control panel
ofthe 36" (914) gas cooktop.
CONTROL KNOBS
Each control knob is positioned to correspond
to the burner regulated.
For the 15" (381) and 36" (914) cooktops, 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. The
illustration below shows the configuration of
the control knobs for the 36" (914) gas cooktop.
Each knob on the 30" (762) cooktop control
panel has a diagram above it. The diagram
shows which burner it regulates.
It is normal for the knobs to be slightly raised
above the surface. This space is an air inlet
necessary 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.
