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 arelisted on the product
rating plate.
Recordthe model and serial numbers before

WOLF INDUCTION COOKTOPS
LOCATION IN COUNTERTOP
A) Minimum flat countertop surface. Must be
equal to or greater than cooktop width.
B) Minimum 1" (25) wide clearance from the
cooktop side edge to any combustible
surface up to 18" (457) above the cooktop
(noted by shaded area).
OVERHEAD CABINET DIMENSIONS
C) Minimum spacing between overhead side
cabinets must be greater than or equal to
the nominal width of the cooktop unit(s).
D) Minimum 18" (457) vertical distance from
the countertop to the bottom of side
cabinets within minimum side clearance.
E) Minimum vertical distance between the
countertop and combustible materials
above the cooktop must be 30" (762).
F) Minimum 1" (25) from rear wall.
G) Maximum 13" (330) depth of overhead and
side cabinets directly above and within side
clearance.
SITE PREPARATION
IMPORTANT NOTE: Installation of the Wolf
induction 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.
Failure to locate the cooktop without the
proper clearances will result in a fire
hazard.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Wolf induction cooktops are designed to be
installed in combination with other cooktop
units.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When multiple cooktops
and/or modules are installed side by side, refer
to countertop cut-out dimensions on page 9.
Wolf induction cooktops can accommodate a
Wolf downdraft ventilation system. Refer to
installation instructions provided with the
downdraft for additional specifications.
Dimensions in parentheses are in
millimeters unless otherwise specified.
INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
The illustrations on pages 6–8 provide the
overall dimensions, installation specifications
and countertop cut-out for each of the Wolf
induction cooktop models.
These cooktops are designed to fit a standard
24" (610) deep base cabinet with a 25" (635)
deep countertop. Before making the counter-
top cut-out, verify that the cooktop will clear
the side walls of the base cabinet below.
Clearance is required for the terminal block
located at the right rear of the cooktop. Refer
to the illustration below for dimensions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Aminimum height clear-
ance of 6" (152) is required between the coun-
tertop and any combustible surface directly
below the cooktop. This includes upper edges
of drawers located directly below unit. If a
shelf is installed below the unit, a 1" (25) 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MULTIPLE COOKTOP INSTALLATION
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 11/4"(32) for each
additional unit. Refer to the illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For Model CT15I/S, the
cut-out width should be increased from 133/8"
(340) to 14" (356) when installed with multiple
units.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When multiple units are
installed side by side, each unit must have its
own separate recommended electrical circuit.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance 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, located on the underside of the
cooktop.
The cooktop is provided with a terminal box
and 4' (1.2 m) conduit consisting of two insu-
lated hot lead conductors (copper) and one
insulated ground conductor (copper). Refer to
the wiring diagram below.
For Electrical Installation –attach the
conductors to the residence wiring in accor-
dance with National Electrical Codes and all
state, provincial, municipal and local codes.
The complete 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 agency
certified for joining copper and aluminum.
Follow the connector manufacturer's
recommended procedure carefully.
Improper connection can result in a fire
hazard!
