SITE PREPARATION
IMPORTANT NOTE: Installation of the Wolf
electric cooktop must meet the following
location requirements. All dimensions listed
are minimum requirements for safe operation.
Refer to the illustration below.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface units,
cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk
can be reduced by installing a ventilation
hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (127) beyond the bottom
cabinets.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MULTIPLE COOKTOP INSTALLATION
If the framed electric cooktop is to be used
with any combination of additional cooktop
units or modules with a filler strip, the cut-out
width is calculated by adding the correspon-
ding units' cut-out dimensions plus 11/4"(32)
for each additional unit. Refer to the illustra-
tion below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For Model CT15E, the
cut-out width should be increased from 133/8"
(340) to 14" (356) when installed with multiple
units.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unframed electric
cooktops Models CT30EU and CT36EU are not
designed to be installed in combination with
other cooktop units.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When multiple units are
installed side by side, each unit must have its
own separate recommended electrical circuit.
