First-time use guide
Before using your oven for the first time, run it at a high temperature to burn off any manufacturing oils. As the oven gets hot, you may notice some smell – this is normal. Complete the cycle, let the appliance cool down, and wipe inside with a damp cloth.
At LE Company, we recommend applying the following modes and temperatures for the burn-off:

Use and care guide
Cooking modes your Wolf offers
Wolf ovens offer a wide range of cooking modes. Here is a breakdown of the most useful ones:
- Convection: Delivers even and faster cooking. Great for multi-rack baking.
- Convection Roast: Delivers deep browning and crispness. Great for roasting meat and vegetables.
- Bake: Keeps items moist without over-browning. Great for baking cakes and quiches.
- Broil: Delivers intense top-down heat. Great for searing steak, browning, and toasting.
- Bake stone: Delivers a crisp bottom crust. Great for pizza and artisan bread. Requires the Wolf bake stone accessory.
General Wolf oven maintenance tips
At LE Company, we recommend cleaning spills immediately after each use. Before cleaning, let your oven cool down. Then wipe the interior with a damp cloth. Use a mild detergent, if necessary.
Avoid using Self-Clean more often than just a few times per year. To clarify, running this mode puts significant stress on the appliance and risks of premature wear and tear on its components.
