Safety Precautions
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Wear proper apparel. Never let loose clothing
or other flammable materials come in contact
with the elements while in operation. Fabric
may ignite and result in personal injury.
• Use only dry pot holders when removing pans
from the cooktop. Wet or damp pot holders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let pot holders touch hot heating ele-
ments.
• Select cookware of the proper size, mate-
rial, and construction for the particular type of
cooking being done. This unit is equipped with
heating elements of dierent size. Refer to ele-
ment rating on pages 6–7.
• Always turn pan handles inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, heating ele-
ments, or edges of the cooktop to reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials,
and spillage due to unintentional contact with
pan. Do not turn handles toward the room,
where they may be bumped or easily hit.
• Never heat an empty pan. It may damage the
cooktop or cookware and overheat the unit.
• Do not heat cookware with water droplets on
the outside of the pan. The droplets may begin
to boil and splatter. Cookware should always be
dry.
• Do not use aluminum foil on the surface of the
cooktop.
• Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all safety instructions
before using this appliance.
• Read this use and care guide carefully before
using your new cooktop to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
• Ensure proper installation and servicing. This
appliance must be properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician. Have the
installer show you the location of the circuit
breaker or fuse so that you know where to turn
o power.
• Warranty service must be performed by Wolf
Factory Certified Service.
• Before performing any service, disconnect the
power supply to the cooktop by switching o
the circuit breaker or removing the fuse.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Performance may be com-
promised if the electrical supply is less than 240
volts.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• When using the cooktop, do not touch the
glass surface directly above or adjacent to the
heating elements or induction zones. The glass
surface may become hot enough to cause
burns.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in
the area where the cooktop is in use. Never
allow children to sit or stand on the appliance.
Do not let children play with the cooktop.
• Do not store items of interest to children above
or at the back of the cooktop, as they could
climb on the appliance to reach items and be
injured.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appli-
ance unless it is specifically recommended in
literature you received. All service should be
referred to Wolf Factory Certified Service.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Smother
the flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when
using high heat settings. Boilovers and greasy
spillovers may smoke or ignite.
• Do not operate the cooktop if the glass-
ceramic surface is broken or severely pitted.
Call Wolf Factory Certified Service to repair the
cooktop.
• Do not store flammable materials near hot
components or let grease or other flammable
substances accumulate on the cooktop.
• Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot.
If using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until the
cooktop has cooled suciently to prevent
steam burns. Also, some cleaners give o nox-
ious fumes when applied to hot surfaces. Refer
to Care Recommendations on page 17.
• Do not use a griddle, open roaster, or fish
poacher across two heating elements unless
the bridge element is turned on. This type of
use without the bridge element turned on
could damage or crack the glass. Refer to
Bridge Element on page 13.
• Do not block the cooling fan exhaust or intake
vents. The cooling fan automatically turns on to
cool internal parts. It may continue to run even
after the cooktop has been turned o.

INDUCTION COOKTOP
In induction cooking, the electricity flows through a coil to
produce a magnetic field under the glass-ceramic surface.
When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the cook-
top, currents are induced in the pan and instant heat is
generated. Cookware made of magnetic materials, such as
cast iron or magnetic stainless steel is required for induc-
tion cooking.

ELECTRIC COOKTOP
Wolf electric cooktops operate by using high-frequency
pulsation, cycling the heating elements between zero
power and full power. As the heat is increased on the
control panel, the element will stay at full power for longer
periods and have shorter periods of zero power.
