appliance must be properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.
• Warranty service must be performed by a Wolf
authorized service center.
• nstallation work and electrical wiring must be done
by qualified person(s) in accordance with all applica-

can not be locked, securely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
• Sufficient air is needed for proper combustion and
exhausting of gases through the flue (chimney) of
fuel burning equipment to prevent back drafting.
• Follow the heating equipment manufacturer’s guide-
line and safety standards such as those published
by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA),
the American Society for Heating, Refrigeration and
Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local
code authorities.
GENERA SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• For general ventilating use only. Do not use this
ventilation hood to exhaust hazardous or explosive
materials and vapors.
• For best capture of cooking impurities, the bottom of
the hood should be a minimum of 30" (762) and a
maximum of 36" (914) above the countertop.
• Ducted fans must always be vented to the outdoors.
• To reduce the risk of fire, use only metal ductwork.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
use this fan with any solid-state speed control
device.
• Use only with ventilation hood cord connection kits
that have been investigated and found acceptable
for use with this model hood.
• When cutting or drilling into wall or ceiling, do not
damage electrical wiring or other hidden utilities.
To reduce the risk of fire and to properly exhaust
air, always duct air outside. Do not vent exhaust air
into spaces within walls or ceilings or into attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
To reduce the risk of injury, disconnect the power
supply before servicing. This hood is equipped with
an integral disconnecting switch located inside the
blower housing. Refer to page 13.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN
THE EVENT OF A COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE

prevent burns. f the flames do not go out immedi-
ately, evacuate and call the fire department.

GENERA SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
• Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance
unless specifically recommended in this guide. All
other service should be performed by a qualified
technician.
• This ventilation hood is equipped with a thermostat
which may start the blower automatically. To reduce
the risk of injury and to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally, switch power off at service
panel and lock or tag service panel.

under the ventilation hood.
• This product may have sharp edges. Be careful to
avoid cuts and abrasions during installation and

or when flambeing foods (i.e. Crepes Suzette,
Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé).
C) Clean ventilating fans frequently. Grease should
not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter.
D) Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the surface element.

Cooktop Low-Profile Hood Opertation 8
Heat Sentry Feature
The heat sentry feature turns the ventilation hood on when
heat is sensed and adjusts the blower speed automati-
cally. The heat sentry feature is activated when the
exhaust from the hood reaches a threshold temperature
and deactivated when the exhaust temperature decreases.
f the blower is off, it automatically turns the blower on to
H GH speed. f the blower is on at a lower speed setting, it
will automatically adjust to H GH speed. When the temper-
ature level drops, it adjusts the blower back to the setting
on the blower control.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The heat sentry thermostat can start
the blower even if the hood is turned off. When this
occurs, the blower cannot be turned off by the hood
controls. f you must turn off the blower, do it from the
main electrical panel.

Care Recommendations
STAIN ESS STEE EXTERIOR
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners; they will
permanently scratch stainless steel surfaces. Salt and
some cooking liquids may pit and stain the surface.
Remove these spatters immediately.
Use a spray degreaser to remove fingerprints and greasy
spatters. Spray on a cloth and wipe the surface. Buff dry
immediately to avoid streaking. For hard water stains, use
white vinegar and water.
For general cleaning, use a soft, nonabrasive stainless
steel cleaner like Signature polish and apply with a soft
lint-free cloth. To bring out the natural luster, lightly wipe
the surface with a water-dampened microfiber cloth
followed by a dry polishing chamois. All work should
follow the grain direction of the finish. Better results are
obtained by keeping the cloth in continuous contact with
the stainless steel.
Signature polish is available from Signature Limited
Laboratory, P. O. Box 13436, Dayton, Ohio 45413, or call
