To reach a temperature of 375 degrees on convection mode, the Wolf Gas range range will take approximately 15 minutes to preheat. While other brands may claim faster preheating times, it’s important to understand the difference between basic preheating and the full cavity preheating that Wolf ovens employ. With basic preheating, the air temperature in the oven is raised and the preheat temperature is reached very quickly. However, immediately after the preheat is complete, the oven temperature begins to drop because the racks, walls, as well as the bottom and top of the oven start to absorb the heat due to the fact they are not at the same temperature as the air inside the oven. Full cavity preheating brings the temperature of the oven components, as well as the air in the oven up to the same temperature. Assuring that once the preheat temperature is reached, it remains constant, with no drop off.
Yes, residue and oils from the manufacturing process can be present when you receive your range. Before using your oven for the first time, clean it thoroughly with hot water and a mild detergent. Rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Next, set the oven thermostat at 250 degrees and operate for one hour. At the end of the hour, reset the oven to 500 degrees and heat for a second hour. A small amount of smoke and odor may be produced during the initial break-in period. This is normal and will pass. Once the process is complete you can jump right into enjoying your new oven or simply turn the oven off for use at a later date.
The Wolf gas range features dual brass surface burners with four position settings along with simmer capabilities and automatic reignition.

The oven door should remain closed in the both broil modes. Unlike most conventional ovens Wolf ovens are specifically designed to allow for a closed door broil.
One of the factors affecting optimum cooking results is the level of rack placement in the oven. Rack position 1 is closest to the bottom and position 5 is closest to the top. When using only one rack for roasting meats, place the rack in position 1, 2 or 3. When using two or three racks, separate each rack with at least one position between them.
No. Do not place cookware, aluminum foil, a bake stone or any other material on the oven floor or side walls. Doing so will cosmetically damage the porcelain but will not affect the functionality of the product. The porcelain can be replaced but is not covered under the Wolf warranty.

The most important step in maintaining your oven is to wipe out the interior whenever spills occur. When the oven cools, clean any splatters and spills as soon as possible. Do not allow food with a high sugar or acid content, such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling, to remain on any porcelain surface. Resistant to most stains, but not totally impervious to damage, salt and some cooking liquids may pit and stain the porcelain surface. Always remove these spills quickly to maintain the porcelains original luster.
Stainless steel can be cleaned using a soft, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner like Signature Polish. Apply with a soft 100% lint free cloth. To bring out the natural luster of the stainless steel finish, lightly wipe the surface with a water dampened microfiber cloth, followed by a dry polishing chamois. Always follow the direction of the grain. For best, results keep the cloth in continuous contact with the metal. Signature Polish can be ordered on their website at

Yes. The adjustments will vary from recipe to recipe but a good rule of thumb is to drop the temperature 15-20 degrees and reduce cook time by 5 min for every 30 minutes of the original recipe’s directions.
No, but for best results we recommend medium- to heavy-weight pans that have a flat base, metal handle and a tight-fitting lid. Please note that while no specific bakeware is required, the size, shape and finish of your bakeware will affect the cook time. Food prepared with insulated bakeware will cook more slowly than food cooked in dark metal bakeware. Dark, nonstick pans will cause food to brown more than light, nonstick pans.
This is typically caused by the cookware being used and can usually be removed with a scrubbing pad or a brass bristle brush. This metal transfer will not affect performance.
