province, or region where this appliance is
being installed.
Make sure you have everything necessary
for correct installation. It is the responsibil-
ity of the installer to comply with the instal-
lation clearances specified on the product
rating plate. The rating plate is located on
the underside of the cooktop.
Electrical ground is required; see Electrical
Requirements on pages 14–15.

This cooktop is intended for indoor use.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Save these Installation
Instructions for the local inspector’s use.
Please read the entire Installation Instruc-
tions prior to installation.
This installation must be completed by a
qualified technician.
Installer: please retain these instructions
for local inspector’s reference, then leave
them with the homeowner.
Homeowner: please read and keep these
instructions for future reference and be sure
to read the entire Use & Care Information
prior to use.
IMPORTANT NOTE: 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.
Record the model and serial numbers before
installing the cooktop. Both numbers are on
the rating plate, located on the underside of

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
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.
UNFRAMED INDUCTION COOKTOPS
IMPORTANT NOTE: A minimum height clear-
ance of 61/2" (165) is required between the
countertop 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unframed induction
cooktops are not designed to be installed in
combination with other cooktops.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Unframed induction
cooktops cannot be installed with a downdraft
ventilation system.
For installation options of the unframed induc-
tion cooktops, refer to Unframed Installation
on pages 12–13.
Dimensions in parentheses are in
millimeters unless otherwise specified.
INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS
The illustrations on pages 6–11 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.
FRAMED INDUCTION COOKTOPS
IMPORTANT NOTE: A minimum 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.
Wolf induction cooktops are designed to be
installed in combination with other cooktop
units.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MULTIPLE COOKTOP INSTALLATION
If the framed 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 correspon-
ding units' cut-out dimensions plus 11/4" (32)
for each additional unit. Refer to the illustra-
tion 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: Unframed induction
cooktops are not designed to be installed in
combination with other cooktops.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When multiple units are
installed side by side, each unit must have its
own separate recommended electrical circuit.
