or more surface units of different
size. Refer to Cookware Selection on
page 15.

WHAT NOT TO DO
Never use your cooktop to warm or
heat a room.
When using the cooktop: DO NOT
TOUCH THE GLASS SURFACE
directly above or adjacent to the
heating elements. 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 appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in literature you

referred to a Wolf authorized service
center.
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.

CONTROL OPERATION
The Wolf electric cooktop operates 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.
When using the dual or triple elements, all
sections of the element will cycle at the same
rate. For safety reasons, the outer elements
cannot be turned on independently from the
center section.
ILLUMINATED CONTROL PANEL
The control panel of your electric cooktop is
illuminated for instant visual indication that
any one or more elements are in use. The
control panel features touch controls with
graduated control lighting. The illustrations
below show the control panel of the 36" (914)
framed electric cooktop.
