LOCATION IN COUNTERTOP
A) Minimum flat countertop surface. Must be
equal to or greater than cooktop width.
B) Minimum 2" (51) wide clearance from the
cooktop side edge to any combustible
surface up to 18" (457) above the cooktop
(noted by shaded area).
C) Minimum 2" (51) 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
D) Minimum spacing between cabinets directly
over cooktop must be greater than or equal
to the nominal width of the cooktop unit(s).
E) Minimum 18" (457) vertical distance from
the countertop surface to the bottom of
cabinets adjacent to the cabinet directly
above the cooktop unit.
F) Minimum 24" (610) clearance between top
of cooking surface and bottom of wood or
metal cabinet which is protected by not less
than 1/4" (6) flame retardant millboard
covered with not less than No. 28 MSG
sheet steel, .015" (.4) stainless steel, or .024"
(.6) aluminum or .02" (.5) copper.Minimum
30" (762) clearance between the top of the
cooking surface and the bottom of an
unprotected wood or metal cabinet.
G) Minimum 0" (0) from rear wall.
H) Maximum 13" (330) depth of overhead
cabinets.
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.
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 protects horizontally a
minimum of 5" (127) beyond the bottom
of the cabinets.
Failure to locate the cooktop unit
without the proper clearances will result
in a fire hazard.

INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
The illustrations below provide the overall
dimensions, finished cut-out dimensions and
electrical placement for the Wolf induction
cooktop.
When the cooktop is installed above cabinets,
the electrical placement is not critical. A
grounded junction box needs to be placed
within 4' (1.2 m) of the right rear of the
cooktop.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Aminimum height clear-
ance of 6" (152) is required. 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.

MULTIPLE COOKTOP INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT NOTE: Ifthe 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 corre-
sponding units' cut-out dimensions plus 11/4"
(32) for each additional unit.
If multiple modules are to be installed, the cut-
out width of the induction cooktop should be
increased from 133/8"(340) to 14" (356). Refer
to the illustration below.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When multiple units are
installed side by side, each unit must have its
own separate recommended electrical circuit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When two or more
modules are installed together, an integrated
module filler strip (IFILLER/S) is required. If a
downdraft ventilation system is also installed,
an integrated module support for downdraft
ventilation (ISUPPORT) is required. Contact
your Wolf dealer for information on these
accessory components.
WOLF INDUCTION COOKTOP
INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
COUNTERTOP CUT-OUT
The induction cooktop is designed to fit a
standard 24" (610) deep base cabinet with 25"
(635) deep countertop. Before making the
cooktop cut-out, verify that the cooktop will
clear the side walls of the base cabinet below.
There should be at least 51/2"(140) clearance
between the top countertop surface and any
combustible surface directly below the unit.
This includes upper edges of drawers located
directly below unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When multiple cooktops
and/or modules are installed side by side, refer
to the illustration below for countertop cut-out
dimensions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Plastic or other utensils
with low melting temperatures should not be
located in drawers directly below unit.

The Wolf induction cooktop requires a
separate, grounded 3-wire service with its own
circuit breaker. Locate electrical within the
shaded area shown in the Installation Specifi-
cations illustration on page 5.
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 arelisted on the product
model/serial rating plate, located on the
underside of the cooktop.
Verify that power is disconnected from
the junction box before proceeding.
The cooktop is provided with a 4' (1.2 m)
conduit consisting of two insulated hot lead
conductors (copper) and one insulated ground
conductor (copper).
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 manu-
facturer's recommended procedure care-
fully.Improper connection can result in a
fire hazard!
