INSTALLATION
Before installing, verify that the electrical service and type of gas supply (natural or L. P. gases) agree
with the specifications on the rating plate, located behind the top trim panel on the front of the oven. If
the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact your
dealer or Wolf Range immediately.
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the oven is found to be damaged,
save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Carefully unpack the oven and place in a work-accessible area near to its final installed position.
Do not use the doors or their handles to lift the oven.

LOCATION
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.
When installed, minimum clearance from combustible construction must be 1 inch (25 mm) at the left
side, 4 inches (102 mm) at the right side and 6 inches (152 mm) at the rear. Minimum clearance from
noncombustible construction must be 0 inch (0 cm) at the left side, 4 inches (102 mm) at the right side
and 6 inches (152 mm) at the rear. The oven may be installed on combustible floors.
The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. There
must be 18 inches (457 mm) of clearance on the right side of the oven from any open flame.
The oven must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed.
Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided. Make sure there
is an adequate supply of air in the room to allow for combustion of gas at the oven burners.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the oven. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the oven.
Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.

INSTALLING BASIC OVEN
The basic oven must be installed on legs or be mounted on a modular stand. Installations on concrete
bases or other supports restricting air circulation underneath the oven is not advisable and may void
the warranty.
Ovens Mounted on Casters
Ovens mounted on casters must use a flexible connector (not
supplied by Wolf) that complies with the Standard for Connectors
for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16 and a quick-
disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-
Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI-Z21.41 • CSA
6.9. Inaddition,adequatemeansmustbeprovidedtolimitmovement

Remove two screws from the rear of the oven and install the tie-
down strap shipped with the casters using these screws (Fig. 1).
Attach the gas line strain relief to the tie-down strap at the rear of
the oven (Fig. 1).
Fig. 1
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect
this restraint prior to turning the gas supply on and returning the oven to its installation position.
Separate instructions for installing casters to the oven are included with the casters.
Note: If the oven is installed on casters and is moved for any reason, it is recommended that the oven
be releveled front to back and side to side.
Assembling the Legs to the Oven
The legs must be installed on the bottom of the oven. Gently position the
oven on its side, taking care not to scratch or damage it.
BACK
Attach each of the four leg assemblies to the bottom of the oven with the
24 bolts and lockwashers (six per leg). Carefully raise the oven to its
normal position.
ASSEMBLING THE STAND TO THE OVEN
FRONT
Attach each of the four leg assemblies to the bottom of the oven with the
24 bolts and lockwashers (six per leg). Carefully raise the oven to its
normal position. Attach the undershelf to the legs with eight bolts and
lockwashers (two per leg).
RACK SUPPORT
RACK GUIDE
Install the rack guides into the undershelf at desired locations (for pan or
flat rack), then attach the rack supports to the top end of the rack guides.
Attach rack supports to the leg assembly by removing one middle bolt and
reattaching back through the end holes in the rack support (Fig. 2).

ASSEMBLING STACKED OVENS (OPTIONAL)
STACKING FLUE
Unpack the ovens and stack kit. Position the oven to be
used as the bottom oven on its back for access to the
oven bottom, taking care not to scratch or damage it. The
gas pipe protrudes beyond the back; provide for this
when the oven is tipped back by resting it on suitable
spacers (2 x 4's, etc.). Attach the four leg assemblies with
the 24 bolts and lockwashers (six per leg).
Place the lower oven (with legs) on the floor and remove
two 7/16 inch (11 mm) diameter knockouts on each side of
the top cover. Remove vent guard and discard it.
Move the oven with legs to the installed position and place
upper oven on top of lower oven using the locating studs.
Install the stacking flue (Fig. 3) with the four screws
provided.
Connect the piping between the top oven and bottom
oven. For all gas supply connections, pipe joint compound
must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
PL-53564
Fig. 3
LEVELING
Make sure that the oven racks are level in the final installed position. If the oven is installed on legs,
turn the adjustable feet in or out to level the oven front-to-back and side-to-side. If the oven is installed
on casters, loosen set screws and turn casters in or out to level the oven front-to-back and side-to-side.
Retighten set screws after leveling.
GAS CONNECTION
Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
Location of the gas inlet is at the rear of the oven. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve must be
installed in the gas line ahead of the oven.
Connect gas supply after leveling the oven. The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of
3
/
4
inch (19 mm) iron pipe. Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt or pipe joint
compound.
The ovens are equipped with fixed burner orifices which coincide with installation elevation.
The oven is provided with a regulator integral to the gas solenoid valve and requires no external
regulator.
Natural gas pressure regulators are preset for 3.5 inches W.C. (Water Column) (0.9 kPa); propane gas
pressure regulators are preset for 10 inches W.C. (2.5 kPa).
Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply for leaks. Use soap and
water solution. Do not use an open flame.
A. Check all joints prior to the gas valve (solenoid) before lighting unit.
B. Check all joints beyond gas valve (solenoid) after unit is lit.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
– 6 –
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When gas supply pressure exceeds 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the oven and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When gas supply pressure is 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the oven should be isolated from the gas supply
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.
BURNER AIR ADJUSTMENT
Although main burner air is adjusted before shipment, it should be checked at the time of installation.
Excessive air will cause flames to lift off a burner when cold or may cause flash-back during normal
cycling of oven, particularly when propane gas is used.
Insufficient air will cause flames to burn with a yellow tip and result in carbon accumulation in the flame
chamber and heat exchanger tubes.
Contact your local Wolf Range servicer if required.
VENT SYSTEM
DO NOT obstruct the flow of flue gases from the flue located on the rear of the oven. It is recommended
that the flue gases be ventilated to the outside of the building through a ventilation system installed by
qualified personnel.
Ovens may use an optional down draft diverter flue method. This optional down draft diverter must be
purchased from the oven manufacturer and vented to the outside; otherwise, the installation of any such
device will void all oven certifications and warranties. When the diverter is supplied, it may be
connected to a Type “B” vent.
From the termination of the flue to the filters of the hood venting system, a minimum clearance of
18 inches (457 mm) should be maintained.
Information on the construction and installation of ventilating hoods may be obtained from Vapor
Removal from Cooking Equipment, NFPA Standard No. 96 (latest edition), available from the National
Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the applicable
portions of the National Electrical Code and/or other local electrical codes.
Appliances equipped with a flexible electric supply cord are provided with
a three-prong grounding plug. It is imperative that this plug be connected into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type,
contact an electrician. Do not remove the grounding prong from this plug.
WKG series ovens with 120 V/60 Hz/1 PH electrical specification are equipped with a cord and plug
as standard equipment.
A wiring diagram is located on the inside of the control housing.

ROAST & HOLD OPERATION — (When Equipped)
Roast & Hold cooks the product in two stages. During first-stage cooking, the oven temperature is
regulated by the temperature setpoint and the R & H Time setting. After the time counts down to 00:00,
second-stage cooking begins. During second-stage cooking, the heating elements are off as the
temperature in the oven declines to the hold temperature. The doors should remain closed during
second-stage cooking.
When the hold temperature is reached, the display flashes HOLD. Temperature in the oven will be
maintained at the hold temperature until the oven is turned off.

PROPER UTENSILS
The use of proper utensils can enhance oven operation. Medium and lightweight pans allow the product
to warm faster. Roast meats in shallow pans deep enough to hold all juices yet allow free air circulation.
OPERATING HINTS
When using the convection oven for the first time with a particular food, check the degree of doneness
periodically before the suggested time has elapsed. This will ensure the desired doneness is achieved.
Record your temperature and time settings for various products. The convection oven can provide
consistent and repeatable results.
The convection oven is faster than conventional deck-type ovens; temperature settings are lower and
cook times are shorter. Since recipes and foods are subject to many variations and tastes, the
guidelines regarding Times and Temperatures in this manual are SUGGESTIONS ONLY. Experiment
with your food products to determine the cooking temperatures and times that give you the best results.
– 13 –
RACK ARRANGEMENTS
All models are supplied with five racks and have a maximum operating capacity of six racks per oven.
The 11-position rack supports provide for maximum flexibility and proper rack spacing.
The following arrangements are recommended. The
position numbers are in numerical sequence starting at the
bottom (Fig. 4).

Arrangement #3 — Three racks in positions #1, #5 and #9 are for baking breads or cakes in loaf or tube
pans and high meringue pies. This arrangement can also be used for casseroles, meat dishes or
cooking in pans up to 51/2 inches (140 mm) deep with products up to 6 inches (152 mm) high.
Arrangement #4 — Two racks in positions #1 and #6 are for cooking turkeys and other roasts up to
7 inches (178 mm) high.
With the rack in position #1, there is limited space for a water pan (see cooking chart in this manual).
When mixed loads or partial loading is regular practice, some users have developed other rack
arrangements to suit their particular needs.
SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR BAKING
Yeast Bread: Cooking starts immediately in the convection oven. Yeast breads do not usually rise as
much in a convection oven as in a conventional oven. Therefore it is usually necessary to allow fuller
proof, 21/2 to 3 times increase in volume, for best results.
Pies: When baking pies in your convection oven, three or four pies should be put on an 18 x 26" sheet
or bun pan. This procedure helps the bottom crust to bake, makes handling easier and reduces the
possibility of boilover spoiling the appearance of the pies on the lower racks.
HIGH LIMIT SWITCH
All ovens are equipped with a high limit switch, which senses the temperature of the oven to prevent
overheating. The high limit switch operates independently and will automatically shut the oven down
should the primary control fail. If this situation occurs, DO NOT attempt to bypass the high limit. Shut
the oven down and contact your local Wolf Range authorized service agency.

RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES AND TIMES FOR ROASTING
Meat roasting is most satisfactory at temperatures of 225 to 325°F (107 to 163°C) for beef, lamb, poultry
and ham; 325°F (163°C) for fresh pork as recommended by USDA and American Meat Institute.
A pan, approximately 12 x 20 x 1" (305 x 508 x 25 mm) full of water, may be placed in the oven bottom.
This water supplies humidity to reduce shrinkage. Water should be added if necessary during roasting.
Roasting pans should be no deeper than necessary to hold drippings (usually 2 to 21/2" (51 to 64 mm)).
Cooking time and shrinkage may vary with roasting temperature, cut, grade of meat and degree of
doneness. Smaller cuts will generally show greater time savings than larger cuts at a given
temperature.

COOKING HINTS
Forced air convection cooking is faster than conventional oven cooking, and therefore overcooking is
more common. Do not cook products faster than is practical for the best results. Since forced air
convection supplies heat to the surface of the product, the thicker or more massive a product is for its
type, the longer it will take to absorb enough heat to cook.
The oven will cook or bake full or partial loads at standard recipe temperatures. As with any oven, you
may wish to use a temperature of up to 25°F (-4°C) higher or lower than the recipe for the particular
product result that you prefer.
Once established, convection oven time and temperature settings should be noted on your recipe.
SUGGESTED COOKING GUIDELINES
Recommended temperatures, times and number of racks are intended as a guide only. Adjustments
must be made to compensate for variations in recipes, ingredients, preparation and personal
preference in product appearance.
The oven does not require special recipes. Excellent results can be obtained from any good
commercial recipe with reduced cooking times.

CLEANING
Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow lockout / tagout
procedures.
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.
Heat Circulation Tube
The heat circulation tube, located in the back of the oven cavity, should never be blocked. The heat
circulation tube should be kept clean at all times for proper operation of the oven. Clean with standard
oven cleaner at least once a week. Be sure to thoroughly clean all cleansing solution off before using
the oven again. It is also recommended that the oven be run at 400°F (204°C) for 20 minutes before
using to burn off any cleaning solution that was not thoroughly rinsed from the heat circulation tube.
Daily
Exterior stainless steel oven panels should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Stubborn soil may be
removed with detergent. (DO NOT USE DAWN®.) Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with a soft, clean
cloth.
Clean porcelain oven interior daily with soap or detergent and water. Rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with
a soft, clean cloth.
Nickel-plated racks and rack supports are dishwasher-safe and may be removed for cleaning.
For exterior burned-on foods and grease which resist simple soap and water cleaning, an abrasive
cleanser (scouring powder) mixed into a paste may be used. Apply with stainless steel wool or sponge,
always rubbing with the grain. This treatment is equally effective for heat tint (slightly darkened areas
caused by oxidation). Again, remember to rub in the direction of the polish lines. Rinse with clear water
and dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use scouring powder on the glass window; it will scratch and fog the glass.
After processing some foods at low temperatures, odors may linger in the oven. These odors may be
cleared by setting the temperature to 500°F (260°C) and allowing the oven to run unloaded for 30 to
45 minutes.
GUIDELINES FOR MAINTAINING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
There are three basic things that can break down the surface layer of stainless steel and allow corrosion
to develop: 1) Abrasion; 2) Deposits and water and 3) Chlorides.
Avoid abrasion from rubbing with steel pads, wire brushes or scrapers that can leave iron deposits on
stainless steel; instead, use plastic scouring pads or soft cloths. For stubborn stains, use products such
as Cameo, Talc or Zud First Impression. Always rub parallel to the polish lines or with the grain.
Hard water can leave deposits that promote rust on stainless steel. Treated water from softeners or
certain filters can eliminate these mineral deposits. Deposits from food must be properly removed by
cleaning. Use mild detergent and nonchloride cleaners. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe dry. If using chloride
-containing cleaners or sanitizers, rinse repeatedly to avoid stainless steel corrosion. Where
appropriate, apply a polish recommended for stainless steel (such as Benefit or Super Sheen) for extra
protection and lustre.

MAINTENANCE
The oven and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or
servicing the oven.
Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow lockout / tagout

VENT
Periodically check the flue, when the oven is cool, to be sure it is free of obstructions.
