Wolf Oven

Quick Start

• Press Bake, set the temp on the touchpad, press Start
• Allow 10–15 min to preheat — the light on the door turns off when it's ready
• Middle rack is the sweet spot; upper runs hotter, lower runs cooler

Pro Tips

• Convection mode circulates heat for faster, more even bakes — great for cookies, pastries, roasted veg
• If the cooling fan keeps running after you turn the oven off, that's normal — it can run 15–30 minutes after a high bake until the electronics cool down

If It's Not Working

• Fan won't quit after cooking: Not a malfunction. The cooling fan runs until internal temps drop — give it 15–30 minutes and it shuts off on its own.
• Display error code: Power it off for 30 seconds and turn back on. If the code returns, just text me.
• Uneven heat: Make sure racks are fully seated and the door closes flush.

Wolf Stovetop

Quick Start

• Push the knob in, turn counter-clockwise to "LITE" — listen for click, watch for flame
• Then dial down to your desired heat — low for simmering, high for boiling
• Match burner size to pan; oversized cookware can starve the burner of oxygen

Pro Tips

• If the igniter clicks for a few seconds before lighting after the burners haven't been used in a while, that's air in the gas line — totally normal
• Keep the burner caps flat in their slots. A misaligned cap is the #1 reason a burner clicks forever

If It's Not Working

• Burner won't stop clicking: Turn it off, wait one minute, try again. If it still clicks, lift the burner cap and reseat it flat in the slot — that fixes it most of the time.
• Just clicking, no flame: Moisture got in (boil-over or recent cleaning). Pull the cap off and let it air-dry several hours. No hair dryer — the heat damages the spark electrode.
• Flame keeps lifting / igniter re-fires: Pan is too big and starving the burner. Drop to a smaller pan or lower the flame.
• Knob feels stuck: Push down gently and release — a stuck knob can cause continuous clicking.

Sub-Zero Fridge

Quick Start

• Already set to 38°F fridge / 0°F freezer — no need to change anything
• Open and close the door firmly until you hear the seal catch
• Door bins are deep — watch for tall jars blocking the door from latching

Pro Tips

• If the alarm goes off and you need quiet for a minute, hold Alarm and Power together for 5 seconds — silences for 24 hours
• Wipe the door gasket if it ever feels sticky; even a crumb on the seal will hold the door open a few millimeters and trigger the alarm

If It's Not Working

• Beeping or "door ajar" alarm: 9 times out of 10 it's a jar lid or drawer keeping the door from latching fully. Open it, look inside the door bins, push everything back, close firmly.
• Beeping won't stop: Hold Alarm + Power for 5 seconds to silence for 24 hours while you figure it out.
• Wrench icon on the display: That's a service code — leave it and just text me.
• Nothing's working at all: The breaker labeled "Sub-Zero" can be flipped off for 30 seconds and back on for a hard reset.

Miele Coffee Station

Quick Start

• Press the power button (top right). The machine auto-rinses — wait for "Ready"
• Place a cup, tap espresso / americano / cappuccino on the touchscreen
• Beans go in the hopper on top; fresh whole beans only

Pro Tips

• The grinder dial is on the right side door — set fine for espresso, middle for americano. This is the move
• Pre-warm the cup under the hot water spout for 5 seconds before brewing — keeps the shot hot through the crema

If It's Not Working

• Espresso comes out weak / watery: Turn the grind dial one notch toward "Fine." Most-common owner fix.
• "Descale appliance" prompt: Use only the Miele descaling tablets in the pantry — vinegar voids the warranty. Fill the tank to the MAX line, start the cycle, and let it run all the way through (~20 min). Interrupting it makes the machine ask again next time.
• No crema, fast pour: Beans are stale or the brew unit needs a rinse. Try fresh beans first.
• Pale shot after a descale: Run a short hot-water dispense to fully purge the line, then re-pull.

Microwave

We're filming our own walkthrough soon.

Quick Start

• Place food inside and close the door securely
• Use the keypad to enter time and select a power level (1–10, with 10 being maximum power)
• Press Start; the timer counts down and beeps when done

Pro Tips

• Sensor Cook mode (button on the front) is surprisingly smart—select your food type and let it adjust time and power automatically
• For uneven foods like leftover pizza or fish, use power level 6 or 7 and stir halfway through

If It's Not Working

• Won't start: Make sure the door is fully closed and latched
• Child lock on: If the display shows a lock icon, press and hold the lock button (usually on the side) for 3 seconds to disable
• Beeping but not heating: Check that you selected a power level above 0 and the timer isn't set to 0:00
