If you are looking for cooking performance, but don’t
want to shout it out in your kitchen design, this black
ceramic glass top is your choice. There’s no stainless
steel trim, just the sophisticated, minimalist exterior
subtly patterned design to hide any unsightly
scratches.
But don’t be mistaken by fine design. Beneath this
beautiful surface there is enough cooking power ready
to be unleashed with the touch of a finger. Multiple
cooking elements with different zones offer exceptional
control. All of the heating elements offer True Simmer
along with one element that enables you to set a
temperature for melting.
Let Wolf, the corporate companion and kitchen soul
mate of Sub-Zero, fuel your passion for cooking and
beautiful kitchen design.
The Wolf Model CT36EU 36" (914)
unframed electric cooktop with black
ceramic glass surface can be mounted
flush with top of countertop or as a
frameless installation on top of the
countertop surface.
This appliance is certified by Star-K

INSTALLATION NOTES
Refer to the illustrations and specifications
for overall dimensions, cut-out dimensions and
installation specifics.
Wolf recommends using 39" (991) cabinets
with the 36" (914) cooktop.
The Wolf 36" (914) unframed electric
cooktop can be mounted flush with the coun-
tertop or installed as a frameless application. In
either installation the cooktop cut-out dimen-
sions are the same. If it is to be mounted flush
with the countertop, you will need to provide a
recessed area surrounding the cooktop cut-out.
Refer to the Installation Specifications illustra-
tion on page 4.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Flush mount installations
are intended for granite, solid surface or stone
countertop surfaces only.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the cooktop is to be
mounted flush with the countertop, fabrication
of the recessed area must take place before the
final countertop installation. A template for the
countertop cut-out will be provided with the
cooktop.
A Wolf Cooktop or Pro ventilation hood is
recommended. When installing a ventilation
hood, refer to the specific requirements of the
hood for the minimum dimension to countertop.
Also refer to Ventilation Recommendations in
the Cooktop Ventilation or Pro Ventilation
sections of our website, wolfappliance.com.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Wolf does not recommend
the use of downdraft ventilation with the
unframed electric cooktops.
The Wolf 36" (914) unframed electric
cooktop requires a separate, grounded 3-wire
240 V AC, 60 Hz, 50 amp or 208 V AC, 60 Hz,
40 amp service with its own circuit breaker.
It is provided with a 4' (1.2 m) flexible 3-wire
conduit for connection at the electrical supply.
Locate electrical within the shaded area shown
in the Installation illustration on page 4.
A Wolf 36" (914) or 30" (762) built-in single
oven may be installed below this cooktop. For
this installation, the electrical supply for the
cooktop should be installed in the adjacent
cabinet. Refer to the Built-In Ovens section of
our website, wolfappliance.com for additional
specifications. Be aware of the depth of the
cooktop when planning for this installation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Wolf electric cooktops are
designed and agency approved for installation
with Wolf built-in ovens only.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When a oven is installed
below the cooktop, unless you are using
cabinets deeper than 24" (610), it is recom-
mended that the electrical supply for the oven
be placed in an adjacent cabinet within reach of
the conduit. A 2" (51) diameter hole to route the
conduit through cabinetry will be required. Refer
to the Built-In Ovens section of our website,
wolfappliance.com for additional specifications.
You must follow all National Electrical Code
regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes
and ordinances when installing your service.
When a 36" (914) oven is installed below a
cooktop, it is recommended that the rough
opening for the oven be 7 3/4" (197) from the
floor to ease the use of the oven door. The
bottom cabinet support must be able to support
250 lbs (113 kg).
Refer to the installation instructions
shipped with each Wolf product for detailed
specifications.
This cooktop is intended for indoor use only.
