Safety Instructions 4
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all safety instructions before
using this appliance.
• Read this use & care guide carefully before using
your new cooktop to reduce the risk of re, electric
shock or injury to persons.
• Ensure proper installation and servicing. This appli-
ance must be properly installed and grounded by
a qualied technician. Have the installer show you
the location of the circuit breaker or fuse so that you
know where to turn off power.
• Warranty service must be performed by Wolf factory
certied service.
• Before performing any service, disconnect the power
supply to the cooktop by switching off the circuit
breaker or removing the fuse.
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• Wear proper apparel. Never let loose clothing or
other ammable materials come in contact with the
elements while in operation. Fabric may ignite and
result in personal injury.
• Use only dry pot holders when removing pans
from the cooktop. Wet or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch hot induction elements.
• Select cookware of the proper size, material and
construction for the particular type of cooking being
done. This unit is equipped with induction elements
of different size. Refer to cookware selection on page
16.
• Always turn pan handles inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, induction elements
or edges of cooktop to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of ammable materials and spillage due to
unintentional contact with pan. Do not turn handles
toward the room, where they may be bumped or
easily hit.

Safety Instructions 5
wolfappliance.com
• Do not use water on grease res. Smother the ame
or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high
heat settings. Boilovers and greasy spillovers may
smoke or ignite.
• Do not operate the cooktop if the glass-ceramic
surface is broken or severely pitted. Call Wolf factory
certied service to repair the cooktop.
• Do not store ammable materials near hot compo-
nents or let grease or other ammable substances
accumulate on the cooktop.
• Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. If using
a damp sponge or cloth, wait until the cooktop has
cooled sufficiently to prevent steam burns. Also,
some cleaners give off noxious fumes when applied
to hot surfaces. Refer to care recommendations on
page 14.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• Never use your cooktop to warm or heat a room.
• When using the cooktop, do not touch the glass
surface directly above or adjacent to the induction
elements. The glass surface may become hot enough
to cause burns after removing a pan with
hot contents.
• Never heat an empty pan. It may damage the
cooktop or cookware and overheat the unit.
• Do not heat cookware with water droplets on the
outside of the pan. The droplets may begin to boil
and splatter. Cookware should always be dry.
• Do not use aluminum foil on the surface of the
cooktop.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area
where the cooktop is in use. Never allow children to
sit or stand on the appliance. Do not let children play
with the cooktop.
• Do not store items of interest to children above or at
the back of the cooktop, as they could climb on the
appliance to reach items and be injured.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless it is specically recommended in literature
you received. All service should be referred to Wolf
factory certied service.

Induction Cooktop Operation 9
wolfappliance.com
Control Panel
The control panel of your induction cooktop is illuminated
for instant visual indication that one or more elements
are in use. The control panel features touch controls with
graduated control lighting. A power bar indicator in each
control will display the heat setting level for the element.
Refer to the illustration below.
CAUTION
Do not place hot cookware directly over the control
panel.
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 ows through a coil to
produce a magnetic eld under the ceramic cooktop.
When a cast iron or magnetic stainless steel pan is placed
on the glass-ceramic 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 nger, activate Hi-Power mode and boil
water in half the time you normally do.
Energy efciency. 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
overows 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.

light within the key symbol will go out. All touch pad
operations are enabled.
•To lock the control panel, touch and hold the key
symbol for 3 seconds. Three chimes will sound and the
light within the key symbol will illuminate. The cooktop
is now in lock mode.

INITIAL START-UP
Before using your induction cooktop for the rst time,
clean the glass-ceramic surface as recommended in the
cleaning section on page 15. The cooktop surface must be
free of any foreign substances, especially those that could
melt and permanently adhere to the glass-ceramic surface.
When the cooktop is powered up for the rst time it will
default to lock mode. To unlock the control panel, touch
and hold the key symbol for 5 seconds.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A small amount of smoke and odor
may be noticed during the initial break-in period.
