Troubleshooting
If your Wolf gas cooktop is not operating properly, use the
following troubleshooting guide before calling Wolf factory
certified service. This guide will save you time and trouble
and may help you avoid the expense of a service call.
Cooktop does not operate.
• Check the household fuse or circuit breaker to see if it
has been blown or tripped. A power outage may also
have caused a disruption in service.
• Verify that the electrical connection to the cooktop has
not been disconnected.
Burner flame does not burn evenly.
• Burner cap is not positioned properly. Check position.
Burner fails to ignite.
• Igniter is damp. Allow it to dry completely.
Burners extinguish themselves when using more than
one large pan simultaneously.
• Good gas combustion requires the correct amount of
airflow to maintain the flame. Using two oversized pans
simultaneously restricts air movement.
Food boils out of the pan and overflows.
• Heat setting is too high or pan is too small for its
contents.
Food boils or burns more in one area of a pan.
• Pan is not centered above the burner or base of pan
does not rest flat on the burner grate.
• Pan does not conduct heat evenly.
Water does not come to a boil fast enough.
• Cover pan for most efficient use of the high setting.
• Diameter of pan is too large or base of pan is warped.
Simmer setting does not maintain constant temperature.
• Delicate foods may need a lower simmer setting so
that scorching does not occur.
Food cooks too slowly when sautéing.
• Too much food added at one time; sauté in batches.
• Size of food pieces is too large or temperature of food
is colder than usual.
• Pan does not conduct heat evenly.
