WOLF APPLIANCE, INC. ENHANCES
APPLIANCES TO INCLUDE WIDER RANGE
OF BTUS
Upgraded products offer absolute
control from simmer to sear for
delicious results
What is a Btu? A Btu, also known as a British
thermal unit, is the amount of energy needed to heat
or cool one pound of water by one degree
Fahrenheit. The higher the Btu output, the more
powerful the heating or cooling system.
PRODUCT UPDATES
Wolf dual fuel ranges, rangetops and gas cooktops have never
been more powerful or offered a greater range of control. Wolf's
original dual-stacked, sealed burner first launched featuring a maximum
output of 15,000 Btu. "Dual-stacked" refers to the two independent
tiers of flame ports on each burner, one above the other. The upper tier
of flame ports produces high heat for restaurant quality sears and
faster boils, while the lower tier provides control - down to a mere
breath of flame—for simmering without boiling, and melting without
scorching.
Now, the most powerful burners on each appliance offer up to 33
percent more Btu output than before – with options of 18,000 and
20,000 maximum Btus – all while using the same high performance
burner design.
BENEFITS OF A WIDER BTU RANGE
• Higher Highs—Wolf's new burner enhancements offer owners
greater control over a wide range of heat output for flawless,
restaurant-quality sears and up to 25 percent faster boil times.
• Lower Lows—Low-heat finesse, not just high Btu-power, sets Wolf
appliances apart from its rivals, protecting owners' investments in
fine ingredients. The lower Btu output allows users to cook with a
small, yet constant flame that doesn't interrupt cooking by cycling on
and off, for gentle simmering of soups and sauces.
• Performance—Owners can cook with confidence knowing each
dish will turn out just as they intended. Sauce warms low-and-slow,
rice simmers without burning, fresh vegetables sauté crisply and
colorfully, and salmon sears on high—all at the same time.
