Wolf: Professional Grade
Dual Fuel Ranges
Wolf Dual Fuel ranges unite a gas range top (with professional-grade sealed burners) and an electric convection oven. The finesse of dual-stacked, sealed burners heat to cook at higher highs and lower lows. And the convection ovens control heat and airflow expertly for just the right cooking environment – for everything from Cornish hens to cherry pie.

Wolf Induction Range for Precise Stovetop Cooking
Meet Wolf’s most efficient heat delivery system available in the The Wolf Induction Range.

Achieve 40 percent faster boils and sears through a four-zone induction power-boost. For the Oven, delicious results are guaranteed with a variety of cooking modes including Convection Roast, Proof, and Dehydrate.
Convection Plus Steam Ovens
Engineered with a climate sensor, Wolf’s convection plus steam ovens ensure flavorful results that are guesswork-free. These steam ovens provide the perfect environment of steam heat for vegetables, fish and rice, as well as traditional heating methods for crispy yet tender baked goods and main dishes.
