All Wolf gas range ovens have an infrared
broiler, except for the small oven on the 48"
(1219) gas range models. The 18,000 Btu/hr
(5.3 kW) broiler is located inside the oven. The
broil burner heats a metal screen at the top of
the oven cavity. When the screen reaches a
reddish glow, it creates enough infrared heat
to broil food by searing the exterior and
sealing in the juices.

Position the oven rack at the correct level;
the level affects doneness. The farther away
the food is from the broiler, the more well
done it will be inside and the cooking time
will be longer.
Always use the two-piece broiler pan
packaged with your oven.
Do not preheat; place food in a cool oven
and close the door.
Push in and turn the oven control knob
counterclockwise to the BROIL setting. The
infrared burner will light within 45 seconds.
Use a minute timer to signal half of cooking
time; turn the food over and reset the timer.
When broiling is complete, turn the control
knob clockwise to the OFF setting.
B R O I L I N G T I P S
Trim any excess fat from the food; score
remaining fat to prevent the food from
curling during broiling.
If excessive smoking occurs, the food is too
close to the heat.
Never use heat-proof glass for broiling; it
can shatter.
Refer to the Wolf Broiling Guide on page
32. Use cooking times as a guide for other
similar foods.
When opening the oven door to add or
remove food, keep your face away from
the oven door opening. High heat or
grease flare-ups could cause burns.
