Wolf cooking appliance questions

Dual VertiCross is our most advanced convection system, fitted to our M Series wall ovens and to the electric oven of our Dual Fuel and Induction Range Cookers. Where a standard fan oven uses a single circular fan on the centre of the back wall, Dual VertiCross uses two columnar blower fans in the back corners of the cavity, each running the full height of the oven, with the heating elements running parallel to them. The result is more uniform heat across every rack, faster preheat and more consistent multi-rack cooking. Read our full guide to VertiCross vs standard fan convection.

Dual VertiCross is fitted to every M Series wall oven, in both cavities of the M Series double oven, and to the electric oven of our Dual Fuel and Induction Range Cookers. E Series wall ovens use a dual convection system with a different fan arrangement rather than the columnar VertiCross blowers. Read our full guide to VertiCross vs standard fan convection.

Yes. Both ovens on our Dual Fuel Range Cookers are convection ovens, and each can also be run without the fan when a recipe calls for conventional heat.

Yes, in Convection Broil mode. In the standard Broil mode the fans do not run. Broil is the grill setting on our ovens, and it is named that way on the product pages and controls.

Induction generates heat directly in the pan through a magnetic field, so the pan responds the moment you change the setting, there are no flare-ups, and far less energy is wasted than with gas or radiant electric. A gas flame heats the pan indirectly and loses energy to the air around it. Read our guide to Wolf induction range cooking.

Our dual-stacked burners are, in effect, two burners in one: an upper tier for high heat and a lower tier for gentle, controllable low heat. Our infrared griddle gives a large, flat, evenly heated surface for searing several items at once, and our chargrill delivers direct radiant heat and bar-marks indoors, all year round. Read our guide to how Wolf achieves a restaurant-quality sear at home.

We build Wolf appliances for precise control: exact temperature, Dual VertiCross convection, dual-stacked burners that hold a true simmer as well as a fast sear, and heavy-gauge stainless steel throughout. Every Wolf appliance is designed and tested for 20 years of use, backed by our five-year UK warranty, and built in Madison, Wisconsin.

Our 122cm Dual Fuel Range Cooker pairs a large convection oven with a second, smaller oven that works as a fully independent oven with its own cooking modes. The full mode list for each model is on its product page.

Gourmet Mode is a set of nearly 50 presets that control the oven automatically for the dish you choose. It is one of ten cooking modes on our Dual Fuel Range Cookers.

Only pans with a magnetic, ferrous base work on induction, because the heat is generated in the pan itself. Cast iron and most stainless steel pans work; aluminium and copper without a magnetic base do not. Read our guide to Wolf induction range cooking.

Before first use, run the oven empty for two hours at 232°C (450°F). This is a one-off step.

Yes. When the red indicator light goes off, that means the oven has reached the set temperature.

Do not place any cookware on the oven floor, or use aluminium foil or other material to line the oven floor or side walls. Failure to adhere to this will permanently damage your porcelain.

No. Grease burns off the burner and the grate, but the stainless steel surround needs to be cleaned by hand.

Black knob kits are available for our range cookers and rangetops so the controls can be matched to a darker kitchen scheme. Kit contents depend on the model, so your dealer will confirm the correct kit for your appliance.

A No. 4 brushed finish, the same finish we use on our Sub-Zero refrigeration.

Most of the steel on our range cookers and cooktops is 18 gauge, approximately 1.2mm thick.

A stainless steel exterior with a cobalt blue porcelain interior on our Dual Fuel Range Cookers and wall ovens.

Yes. Contact our customer care team and we will arrange the conversion between natural gas and LPG.

No. The griddle and chargrill are factory-fitted, so choose the configuration you want when you specify your range cooker or rangetop.

Both work over an island. An overhead hood above an island becomes a visual full stop in the middle of the room, while our downdraft extractor keeps the island clean and the sightlines open, rising only when you cook and disappearing when you do not. Read our guide: downdraft or wall extraction?

Every Wolf appliance is designed and tested for 20 years of use, and every Wolf appliance bought through our authorised UK dealers is covered by a five-year warranty. Actual life depends on use and care, as with any appliance. Read our guide to the true cost of luxury appliance ownership.

We think so, and we back it: every Wolf appliance is designed and tested for 20 years of use, carries a five-year UK warranty and is built in Madison, Wisconsin. Judged as cost per year of service rather than cost on delivery day, a Wolf appliance is fitted once, where standard appliances are replaced two or three times over the same period. Read our guide to the true cost of luxury appliance ownership.

We sell through a network of authorised dealers, who will quote for your specification. Find your nearest Wolf dealer.

Yes. We ask that Wolf appliances are installed by experienced installers working to our specifications, so that performance, safety and ventilation requirements are met and your warranty remains valid.
