THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED AT ALL TIMES WHEN ELECTRICAL POWER IS APPLIED.
DO NOT GROUND THE APPLIANCE WITH THE NEUTRAL (WHITE) HOUSE SUPPLY WIRE. A SEPARATE
GROUND WIRE MUST BE UTILIZED.
IF ALUMINUM HOUSE SUPPLY WIRING IS UTILIZED, SPLICE THE APPLIANCE COPPER WIRE TO THE
ALUMINUM HOUSE WIRING USING SPECIAL CONNECTORS DESIGNED AND CERTIFIED FOR JOINING
COPPER AND ALUMINUM. FOLLOW THE CONNECTOR MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE
CAREFULLY. IMPROPER CONNECTION CAN RESULT IN A FIRE HAZARD.
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 range hood that protects horizontally a
minimum of 5” (127 mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
PRE-INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
This section of the manual covers some of the installation issues a service technician may need to know when servicing
a Wolf Induction Cooktop. If additional information is needed after reviewing this section of the manual, please refer to
the Installation Guide or contact the WolfAppliance Customer Service Department.

The Wolf Induction Cooktops require a separate, grounded three-wire service with their own circuit breaker. These
appliances must be installed in accordance with National Electrical Codes, as well as all state, municipal and local
codes. The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be supplied to the appliance from a dedicated, grounded
circuit which is protected by a properly sized circuit breaker or time delay fuse. The proper voltage, frequency and
amperage ratings are listed on the product rating plate. The cooktops are provided with a 48” (1219 mm) conduit
consisting of two insulated hot lead conductors (copper) and one insulated ground conductor (copper).

Electrical Requirements (Continued)
The cooktop is provided with a flexible conduit with
electrical leads that must be connected to residential
wiring.
International units come with a terminal box and should
be connected to the residential wiring with the hot leads
connected to positions 1 and 5. The residential ground
lead should be connected to the position marked with the
ground symbol. (See Figure 2-1)
For electrical installation attach the conductors to the
residence wiring in accordance with National Electrical
Codes and all state, provincial, municipal and local
codes.
Site Preparation
NOTE: Installation of the Wolf induction cooktop
must meet the following location requirements. All
dimensions listed are minimum requirements for safe
operation.
Location In Counter top
See Figure 2-2 for the location of the following letter call
outs.
A. Minimum flat counter top surface. Must be equal to or
greater than cooktop width.
B. Minimum 1” (25mm) wide clearance from the cooktop
side edge to any combustible surface up to 18”
(457mm) above the cooktop (noted by shaded area).
C. Minimum 1” (25mm) from rear wall.
Overhead Cabinet Dimensions
D. Minimum 18” (457mm) vertical distance from the
counter top to the bottom of side cabinets within
minimum side clearance.
E. Minimum vertical distance between the counter top
and combustible materials above the cooktop must be
30” (762mm).
F. Minimum spacing between overhead side cabinets
must be greater than or equal to the nominal width of
the cooktop unit(s).
G. Maximum 13” (330mm) depth of overhead and side
cabinets directly above and within side clearance (See
letter B).

Failure to locate the cooktop without the
proper clearances will result in a fire hazard.
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” (127mm) beyond
the bottom cabinets.

Counter top Cut-out Dimensions (CT15I )
This cooktop is designed to fit a standard 24” (610 mm)
width base cabinet with a 25” (635 mm) deep counter
top. Before making the counter top cut-out, verify that
the cooktop will clear the side walls of the base cabinet
below. There should be at least 6” (152mm) clearance
between the top counter top surface and any combustible
surface directly below the unit. This includes upper edges
of drawers located directly below unit. If a shelf is installed
below the unit, a 1” (25mm) gap at the rear of the cabinet
shelf is necessary to allow for proper ventilation. Failure
to do so could result in decreased performance or product
damage. (See Figure 2-3 & 2-4)
NOTE: Locate the junction box within reach of the 48”
(1219 mm) conduit, and accessible when the cooktop unit
is installed.

is required between countertop and any combustible
surface directly below the cooktop.
NOTE: International units must also take the extra space
required for the Terminal Box into consideration.
NOTE: For flush mount application, it is recommended to measure the glass before cutting the countertop to ensure a
proper fit. Small variances may exist between the template and the cooktop.

Figure 2-9 Multiple Cooktop Arrangements
Multiple Cooktop Installations
If the induction 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 corresponding units’ cut-out dimensions plus 1-1/4”
(32mm) for each additional unit. (See Figure 2-9)
NOTE: For Model CT15I, the cut-out width should be
increased from 13-3/8” (340mm) to 14” (356mm) when
installed with multiple units.
NOTE: When multiple units are installed side by side,
each unit must have its own separate recommended
electrical circuit.
NOTE: It is recommended that you operate the Wolf
induction cooktop with either a Wolf cooktop ventilation
hood, downdraft system or Pro ventilation hood.
When two or more modules are installed together,
an integrated module filler strip (IFILLER/S) is
recommended. If a 30” (762mm) downdraft ventilation
system is also installed, an integrated module support
for downdraft ventilation (ISUPPORT) is also required.
Contact your Wolf dealer for information on these
accessory components.
Ventilation Options
NOTE: It is recommended that you operate the Wolf induction cooktop with either a Wolf cooktop ventilation hood,
downdraft system or Pro ventilation hood. Contact your Wolf dealer for details.
The following is a list of ventilation units that can be used with the induction cooktops.
Cooktop Wall Hood – 30” (762) or 36” (914) widths in classic stainless steel.
Cooktop Island Hood – 42” (1067) width in classic stainless steel.
Downdraft Ventilation System – 30” (762), 36” (914) or 45” (1143) widths, with top cover and control panel in classic,
platinum and carbon stainless steel finishes. 45” (1143) downdraft available in classic finish only.
Pro Wall Hood – 22” (559), 24” (610) or 27” (686) depths and 30” (762) to 66” (1676) widths in classic stainless steel.
Pro Island Hood – 36” (914) to 66” (1676) widths in classic stainless steel.
Pro Hood Liner – available in widths to accommodate 36” (914) to 60” (1524) hoods.
NOTE: When installing a ventilation hood, refer to the specific requirements of the hood for the minimum dimension to
counter top.

Cooktop Installation
Attach the foam strip to the underside of the cooktop
frame. Gently lower the cooktop into the cut-out area in
the counter top and center. Check that the front edge of
the cooktop is parallel to the front edge of the counter top.
Check that all required clearances are met.
Attach the brackets to the bottom of the unit, as shown in
the illustration below. Install the clamping screws into the
bracket and tighten until the screws contact the underside
of the counter top. Do not overtighten the screws. (See
Figure 2-10)
NOTE: Do not seal the cooktop to the counter top. The
cooktop must be removable if service is necessary.
If the ceramic glass top of the cooktop is
broken, turn off power to the unit. Do not
operate until glass has been replaced by a
Wolf authorized service center.
