Read this Use & Care Information
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
aqualified technician. Have the
installer show you where the fuse
box is located so that you know
where to turn off power.
Wear proper apparel. Never let loose
clothing or other flammable
materials come in contact with the
elements while in operation. Fabric

injury.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
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 elements.
Select cookware of the proper size,
material and construction for the
particular type of cooking being
done. This unit is equipped with one
or more surface units of different
size. Refer to Cookware Selection on
page 19.
Always turnpan handles inwardso
they do not extend over adjacent

of burns, ignition of flammable

unintentional contact with pan. Do
not turn handles toward the room,
where they may be bumped or

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 repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in literatureyou
received. All service should be
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.
Boilovers and greasy spillovers may
smoke or ignite.
Do not operate the cooktop if the
ceramic glass top is broken or
severely pitted. Call a Wolf
authorized service center to repair
the appliance.
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 sufficiently to prevent steam
burns. Also, some cleaners give off
noxious fumes when applied to hot
surfaces. Refer to Cooktop Cleaning
on page 18 and Cooktop Careon
page 20.
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-Zone Element on
page 15.
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 off.
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.
