WHAT TO DO
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all
instructions before using this
appliance.
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
a qualified 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
cooking surface while in operation.
Fabric may ignite and result in
personal injury.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
Use only dry pot holders when
removing pans from the cooktop.

WOLF INDUCTION COOKTOP FEATURES
INDUCTION COOKING
Induction cooking has been used in Europe for
decades by professionals and homeowners
demanding the best in performance.
In induction cooking, the electricity flows
through a coil to produce a magnetic field
under the ceramic cooktop.
When a cast iron or magnetic stainless steel
pan is placed on the ceramic glass surface,
currents are induced in the cooking utensil and
instant heat is generated due to the resistance
of the pan. Induction only works with cooking
vessels made of magnetic materials, such as
cast iron and magnetic stainless steel (it will
not work with aluminum or copper pots). To
test the cookware, a magnet must stick to the
bottom of the vessel in order to function.
BENEFITS OF INDUCTION COOKING
Speed. Heating is immediate. Adjustment is
immediate. No slow change from heating up to
cooling down. Heats up to 50% faster than gas
or electric cooktops.
Controllability. Homogeneous cooking to
distribute the heat perfectly (no hot or burned
spots). You can keep sauces and chocolates
melted at 50 watts of power, or with the touch
of a finger, activate Hi-Power mode and boil
water in half the time you normally do.
Energy efficiency. Energy is supplied directly
to the cooking vessel so 85% to 90% of the
electric energy gets used to cook. This means
a cooler kitchen and cooktop.
Easy to clean. The surface remains relatively
cool, so overflows and spills do not stick or
burn onto the element. The surface will be
warm after removing a saucepan with hot
contents. Wait until the surface cools to clean
with soapy water.

HI-POWER MODE
Hi-Power mode boosts power on the element
by diverting power from an adjacent element.
The exception is the 4000 W element on the
36" (914) induction cooktop, which does not
divert power from another element in order to
boost. This mode is suitable for frying foods or
boiling water rapidly.

HOT-SURFACE INDICATOR
As a safety precaution, a hot-surface indicator
light will illuminate when the surface
temperature of any one of the induction
elements rises above 150˚F (65˚C). ”HOT” will
illuminate in the control panel. It will remain
illuminated until the entire surface temperature
has decreased to a safe level. Even if the
cooktop controls are turned off, you are alerted
that an area of the cooktop remains hot.
INITIAL START-UP
Before operating the induction cooktop, please
read the entire Use & Care Information.
Clean the cooktop surface as outlined in the
Ceramic Glass Top cleaning section on page
20. The cooktop surface must be free of any
foreign substance, especially those that could

WOLF INDUCTION COOKTOP USE & CARE
COOKWARE SELECTION
Cookware selection is crucial in the perform-
ance of induction cooking. Use the following
guidelines when selecting cookware:
The bottom surface of the cookware must
be a ferrous material (containing iron).
Aluminum, copper, glass and certain stain-
less steel cookware will not work.
Magnetic stainless steel or cast iron
cookware is required for induction cooking.
To test the cookware, a magnet must stick
to the bottom of the vessel in order to
function.
Select cookware with a diameter that
matches the diameter of the induction
element. When a pan is placed on the
element, it should not extend beyond the
ring around the element. Refer to the
Cookware Selection Guide.
Avoid pots and pans with uneven or
rounded bottom surfaces. Some specialty
cookware such as woks, pressure cookers,
canning modules and deep fat fryers must
be carefully selected to meet induction
cooking criteria.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Digital and magnetic
thermometers may produce inaccurate
readings.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Performance is depen-
dant on cookware material. For optimum
performance use cookware with diameters
corresponding to the element diameter.
See your local fine cookware dealer for
induction-appropriate cookware.

WOLF INDUCTION COOKTOP USE & CARE
COOKTOP CLEANING
CERAMIC GLASS TOP
Lock the cooktop before cleaning by touching
and holding the
key symbol for 3 seconds.
Clean the top surface thoroughly before
operating the cooktop for the first time. Apply
approximately 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of nonabra-
sive cleaner (such as Elco Cook Top Cleaning
Creme) to the surface of the ceramic glass with
a lightly dampened clean cloth. Use a second
clean cloth to remove any remaining cleaner
residue. Wipe the cooktop surface with a dry
cloth to completely eliminate any remaining
moisture.
The cooktop should be cleaned after each use.
Be careful not to wipe or clean any hot areas
to avoid personal injury. It will be safe to clean
each element area whenever the correspond-
ing residual heat indicator light has gone out.
COOKTOP FRAME
For general cleaning after each use, apply a
nonabrasive cleaner to the stainless steel
cooktop frame and gently wipe with a clean
towel or cloth. Be sure to remove any cleaner
residue from the frame and ceramic glass
surface before using the cooktop.
COOKTOP CARE
CERAMIC GLASS TOP CARE
Do not use cooktop as a cutting board.
Do not slide rough-bottom cookware across
the glass surface. Remove any resulting
marks immediately using the method
mentioned in Cooktop Cleaning.
Do not allow any item that could melt to
come in contact with the hot ceramic glass
surface. If such a condition occurs, remove
it immediately from the hot element with a
razor blade.
Do not place food directly on cooktop
surface when it is warm or hot.
Do not operate the unit if the ceramic glass
surface is broken. Contact a Wolf authorized
service center.
Do not place a trivet, wok support ring or
other metal stand directly onto the cooktop
surface.
Do not apply chlorine bleach, ammonia or
other strong chemicals or cleaners to the
cooktop surface.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or applicators.
Do not wipe the cooktop surface with a
sponge or dish cloth that may leave a film
of detergent; it will cause the cooktop to
discolor during the next heating cycle.
MAINTENANCE
The induction cooktop is a sealed system that
contains a cooling fan and does not require
internal maintenance. The cleaning and care
information outlines the necessary mainte-
nance for the ceramic glass surface. A Wolf
authorized service center technician must
perform all other maintenance.
Follow these guidelines to avoid injury
and prevent permanent damage to the
cooktop.
