Topics:

• How does the broiler work?
• What kind of heat is the broiler in a Gas Range?
• Does the Gas Range have an infrared broiler?
• Can the temperature range of the broiler be adjusted?
• Should the fan run while in Broil Mode?
• Should the door be open or closed when using Broil Mode on a GR or R series Gas Range?

Answer:

Wolf Gas Ranges use a gas-powered infrared burner to provide the maximum broiling temperatures over a large broiling surface area.

• The broiler element is in the ceiling of the Gas Range. The element looks like a bright red H when lit and contains metal squares that act as radiant plates to evenly distribute heat.
• A low, blue flame may also be visible in the broiler area.
• The mesh screen covering the broil element will discolor and warp through use, this is normal.
• The broiler cannot be used at the same time as the oven burner. Surface burners can be used while broiling.
• Gas Range Broil Mode disables the cooling and convection fans.
• Keep the oven door closed when broiling for best results.
• There is no broil element in the small oven of 48" ranges.

To Broil:

1. Place the rack in the appropriate position.
   • Rack position will vary by recipe. Always follow recipe directions.
2. Turn control knob counterclockwise to BROIL.
   • The heat setting is not adjustable and reaches temperatures above 550°F.
3. Preheat is not needed for most foods.
   • Some food, such as steak, may benefit from preheating the broil for a few minutes.
4. Always use the two-piece broiler pan supplied with the range and broil with oven door closed.

Cleaning:

• The broil element cannot be removed for cleaning.
• Allow the broiler to run after the food is removed in order to burn off any grease.
• Refer to Clean Black Porcelain Oven Interior for more cleaning tips.
