Before using for the first time, you should
clean your multi-function cooktop thoroughly
with hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse and
dry with a soft cloth. This removes any
residual oil and grease left on the surface from
the manufacturing process. Apply a stainless
steel polish to protect the finish and add luster.
Refer to Care Recommendations on page 14.
To light the burner, push down and turn the
control knob counterclockwise to the
setting. You will hear a clicking sound and see
the burner ignite. Once the burner is lit,
continue turning the knob counter clockwise to
any one of the settings —

Select a flame that is just high enough to
maintain the desired cooking speed and is
sized to fit the base diameter of the pan. Never
extend the flame beyond the base of the pan.
The flame on natural gas should be blue with a
deeper blue core. There should be minimal
trace of a yellow flame. A yellow flame indi-
cates an improper mixture of air and gas or
impurities in the gas supply to the cooktop. If
this occurs consistently, call a Wolf authorized
service center to adjust the mixture. With LP
gas, some yellow tipping to the flame is
acceptable and may not require an adjustment.

For best results, we recommend medium- to
heavy-weight pans that have a flat base, metal
handle and a good-fitting cover.
Look for pans that are made of materials with
good heat conductivity, such as aluminum and
copper. These metals are sometimes found
"sandwiched" between the inner and outer
layers of the pan. If present, whether visible
from the outside or not, they aid in evenly
conducting heat.
Use the following guidelines when selecting
cookware:
The diameter of a flat bottom pan should
.
not exceed 305 mm. If using a pan with an
oversized base on
be trapped beneath the pan causing perma-
nent damage to the surface finish.
When using pans made of cast iron,
enameled steel or glass ceramic, or coated
with a nonstick finish, select lower flame
settings. High heat applied to such materi-
als will cause "hot spots," scorching and
burning.
Cover pans while cooking; covers improve
cooking efficiency. Water boils faster, using
less fuel, and the kitchen stays cooler.
Select high-sided (deep) pans rather than
ones with very wide bases and low sides.
High sides will minimize liquids boiling
over the pan.
Refer to the following specific information
on woks.
Never leave a pan on the
unattended. Be particularly cautious
when cooking food in fat or grease. It can
become hot enough to ignite.
