the front kick panel) and oven exhaust vent (located
at the back of the cooking surface) are unobstructed
at all times.

•
Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or deter-
gents on this appliance as these may cause perma-
nent damage. Do not use aerosol cleaners as these
may be flammable or cause corrosion of metal parts.
• Do not clean the oven gasket, because rubbing or
moving the gasket may eliminate the required tight
door seal.
• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using
the gas range.
• Do not touch the burner or interior surfaces of the
oven. The burner may be hot even though it is dark
in color. The interior of the oven becomes hot

may become hot enough to cause burns. These
surfaces include the oven door, window, oven vent
and the surface near the oven vent.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner
protective coatings, such as aluminum foil, on any
part of the oven.
• Do not place cookware on the floor of the oven.
• Do not use oven for warming or heating a room.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Smother any
flames with a lid, baking sheet or flat tray. Flaming
grease can be extinguished with baking soda or a
multi-purpose chemical or foam extinguisher.
• Do not heat unopened food containers as they could
burst and cause injury.
• Do not store combustible, flammable or explosive
materials in the oven or adjacent cabinets. Do not store items of interest to children above the
gas range, as they could climb on the appliance to
reach items and be injured.

Bake Stone
Aspecially designed rack and bake stone are used to
assure the food quality expected from this specific form
of cooking. To produce a hot oven environment necessary
for baking on a ceramic stone, the heat from the burner
creates the perfect “brick oven” effect. The convection fan
helps circulate the air throughout the oven cavity, so even
temperatures are achieved.
BAKE STONE LACEMENT
To prepare the oven for bake stone use, remove all
oven racks. Slide the bake stone rack onto rack guide
position 1 and place the bake stone on the rack with the
lip hanging over front edge of rack. Refer to the illustration
below.
IM ORTANT NOTE: Use care in handling the bake stone.
It will chip or break if dropped.

POSITION 1
Bake stone placement.
BAKE STONE CARE
Remove excess food from the bake stone using a scraper.
Brush off any crumbs. Allow the bake stone to cool
completely before wiping with a wet cloth. Wet cloths on
a hot surface can cause steam burns. Do not soak or
immerse the bake stone in water and do not use soap or
detergent. The ceramic stone could absorb the taste and
transmit those flavors to the food.
Stubborn stains may occur on the bake stone. These will
not impair the flavor of the food being cooked.
Avoid cooking foods with a high fat content on the
bake stone. The porous ceramic material will absorb
grease and discolor the stone. Flare-ups can occur.

WOLF TI S FOR BREAD DOUGH
•umidity affects moisture of the bread dough. On a
humid day, add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until
the desired dough texture is acquired. On a dry day,
add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough
becomes softer.
•Food processor bowls needed for the recipes on the
following pages should hold 12 cups (2.8 L) to 14 cups
(3.3 L). This will allow for two 11/2lb (.7 kg) loaves of
bread to be mixed at one time. Smaller processor
bowls would require cutting the ingredients in half,
except the dry yeast.
•Allow the food processor to knead the dough. This
usually takes 30 to 45 seconds after dough becomes
a ball inside the food processor bowl.
•The dough blade can be substituted for the metal
cutting blade. Follow manufacturer’s directions for your
specific food processor.
WOLF TI S FOR BAKING BREAD
•After the initial baking time of 10 minutes, the oven
temperature can be reduced to control outside
browning of the bread.
•The exterior of yeast breads can be made more crusty
by using a spray bottle to spray the oven interior with
water before and during baking.
Using the Bake Stone
WOLF TI S FOR SUCCESS
•Turn on the convection fan.
•Always preheat after positioning the oven rack and
bake stone. For best results, preheat oven for one hour
before adding food.
•Use only the Wolf bake stone in the gas range.
•Use only one bake stone rack per oven.
•Food is usually cooked directly on the stone. To
prevent sticking, apply plenty of cornmeal or flour to
the bottom of the food.
•The pizza peel is used to remove foods easily from the
oven. Simply slide the peel under the food on the bake
stone and lift out of the oven.
•When baking a series of breads or pizzas in a row,
allow 5 minutes between foods for the bake stone to
return to the proper temperature.
•Bake stone and rack should be removed after baking.
•Keep the oven door closed until the oven has cooled
completely to protect components from heat.
