Operation of the Wolf BBQ Grill
About the Wolf BBQ
The grill grates are composed of five-inch heavy duty porcelain cast iron and are designed for easy handling and
cleaning. Just below the grill surface are the stainless steel heat radiants which concentrate the heat. The Wolf
BBQ design eliminates the use of briquettes or lava rock. BBQ burners produce 10,000 BTU/hr and are located
every five inches across the bottom of the unit. The optional open top side burners are rated at 16,00BTU/hr and
have a spark igniter for rotary knob lighting.
Lighting Instructions
The Wolf BBQ Grill is pre-set for the gas specified when the unit is purchased,
either natural or LP gas. The properly adjusted flame should have a bluish-green
inner cone and a dark blue outer mantle. The flame should be clean and soft
with no yellow tips. Blowing or lifting of the flame should not occur. If the air
shutters are not visible as in
made by loosening the air shutter screw, setting then retightening.
(This should give you proper mixture of the air and gas.)
Before Lighting
Prior to lighting, inspect the gas supply piping or hose. Look for evidence of
abrasion, cuts, wear and tear, or other damage which would require replacement
prior to use. Make sure all burner control knobs are in the OFF position. Do not
attempt to light the burners if the smell of gas is present. Make sure there is
gas in the cylinder and the cylinder is upright. Make sure all radiants are positioned
properly over the grill burners.
Lighting the Grill
1. Open the hood.
2. Push in the gas control knob for the grill and turn counter clockwise to HIGH.
3. Keep your face as far away from the burners as possible.
4. Turn the black igniter knob clockwise which corresponds with the gas control knob you have turned on until you
hear a loud click. Repeat immediately if the burner does not light on the first try.
5. Listen for a
“whoosh”
sound. If the burner does not light by the fourth attempt with the igniter, turn the control
knob to the OFF position. Wait five minutes until the gas clears.
6. Repeat the procedure or refer to the Manual Lighting Procedure.
7. If the burner is lit, you can see flames by looking through a series of holes just above the control knob of
the corresponding burner.
8. Upon successful lighting, repeat the process on the other burners as needed
Lighting the Open Burners
1. Remove the open burner cover or any utensils from the grate.
2. Follow the steps as above in lighting the grill.
NOTE:
The front and rear open burners are lit by a single electrode. The igniter knob is the same for the front and
rear open burners.
Lighting the Rotisserie Burner
The position of the infrared rotisserie burner makes it more susceptible to be blown out and should not be used if
windy conditions prevail or in an unprotected area. For this reason the burner is equipped with a safety valve which
will not allow the burner to operate unless the pilot is lit.
1. Open the hood and remove the rotisserie burner cover.
2. Push in and turn the rotisserie gas control knob to HIGH.
3. After 15 to 30 seconds, turn the rotary igniter knob clockwise until a clicking sound is heard. (This will give the
gas enough time to travel through the tubing to the pilot at the left corner of the burner.)
4. Once the pilot is lit, the burner will light in approximately 30 seconds. The flame is not visible but will give off
heat and a red-orange glow after a few minutes.
