IMPORTANT NOTE: READ AND SAVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Suitable for use in household
cooking area.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
A)
SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal
tray, then turn off the burner. BE
CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS.
If the flames do not go out immedi-
ately EVACUATE AND CALL THE
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
B) NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN
– you may be burned.
C) DO NOT USE WATER, including
wet dish-cloths or towels – a violent
steam explosion will result.
D) Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
You know you have a Class ABC
extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in
the area where it started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your
back to an exit.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
A)
Use this unit only in the manner
intended by the manufacturer. If you
have any questions, contact the
manufacturer.
B) Before servicing or cleaning unit,
switch power OFF at service panel
and lock panel to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally.
When the service disconnecting
means cannot be locked, securely
fasten a prominent warning device,
such as a tag, to the service panel.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE:
A)
Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high settings. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on
low or medium settings.
B) Always turn hood ON when
cooking at high heat or when
cooking flaming foods (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Pepper-
corn Beef Flambe’).
C) Clean ventilating fans frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter(s).
D) Use proper pan size. Always use
cookware appropriate for the size of
the surface element.
Take care when using cleaning
agents or detergents.
Two people are required for
proper installation.
To reduce the risk of injury, dis-
connect power before servicing.
To reduce risk of fire and to
properly exhaust air, be sure to
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 fire or electric
shock, do not use this fan with any
solid-state speed control device.

HEAT SENTRY:
This product is equipped with a
thermostat which may start blower
automatically. To reduce the risk of
injury and to prevent power from
being switched on accidentally,

connection kits that have been
investigated and found acceptable
for use with this model hood.
AUTOMATICALLY OPERATED DEVICE.
IMPORTANT NOTE: TO REDUCE THE
RISK OF INJURY, DISCONNECT FROM

THE UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH AN
INTEGRAL DISCONNECTING SWITCH
LOCATED INSIDE THE BLOWER
HOUSING.
Proper maintenance of the ventila-
tion hood will assure proper
performance of the unit.

INTEGRAL
DISCONNECTING
SWITCH

Do not use to exhaust hazardous
or explosive material and vapors.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO
PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
A)
Installation work and electrical
wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards
including fire-rated construction.
B) 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 equip-
ment manufacturer’s guideline and
safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), and
the American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE), and the local
code authorities.
C) When cutting or drilling into wall
or ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring and other hidden utilities.
D) Ducted fans must always be
vented to the outdoors.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only
metal ductwork.

Hood controls
HEAT SENTRY THERMOSTAT
Your hood is equipped with a HEAT SENTRY™
thermostat. This thermostat is a device that
will turn on or increase the speed of the
blower if it senses excessive heat above the
cooking surface.
If the blower is OFF, it turns the blower ON
to HIGH speed.
If the blower is ON at a lower speed setting,
it increases the blower speed to HIGH.
When the temperature level drops to normal,
the blower will return to its original setting.
The HEAT SENTRY thermostat can start
the blower even if the hood is turned OFF.
When this occurs, it is impossible to turn
the blower OFF with its switch. If you
must stop the blower, do it from the main
electrical panel.

WOLF COOKTOP LOW-PROFILE HOOD USE & CARE
GREASE FILTER(S)
30" (762) and 36" (914) low-profile wall hoods
have one aluminum mesh grease filter and the
45" (1143) wall hood has two. The low-profile
island hood also has two grease filters.
The grease filter(s) should be cleaned at
regular intervals, depending on use. The
(F)
icon in the hood controls will illuminate to
indicate when the grease filter(s) should be
cleaned. This indicator light comes on after
approximately 30 hours of operation. To reset
the hour counter, touch the
(F) control pad
while the icon is illuminated.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You may need to clean
the filter(s) more often if your cooking style
generates large amounts of grease, like frying
foods or wok cooking.

using a biodegradable detergent.
When filter(s) are dry, reinstall using the
reverse procedure.

ventilation hood without the filter(s). This may
cause damage to the blower or other internal
components of the hood.

HALOGEN LIGHTING
Wolf cooktop low-profile wall and island hoods
use halogen light bulbs.

information, visit the Showroom Locator
section of our website, wolfappliance.com.
HALOGEN BULB REPLACEMENT
To replace the halogen light bulbs: Open the
light cover by pressing in the slots as shown in
the illustration below. Replace with halogen
bulbs of the same type.

first use.
ACCESSORIES
Optional acces-
sories are available
through your
Wolf dealer. To
obtain local dealer
information, visit

GENERAL CARE
Most surfaces of your cooktop low-profile
hood are stainless steel. Although resistant to
most stains, it is not totally impervious to
damage. Salt and some cooking liquids may
pit and stain the surface. Always remove these
spills immediately.
CLEANING
Using a clean cloth or sponge, wipe with warm
water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry
immediately. Apply protective polish, always
in the same direction as the grain.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use steel wool
pads or abrasive cleaners; they will perma-
nently scratch the surface.
Spray Degreasers: Removes fingerprints and
greasy spatters. Spray on a cloth and wipe the
surface. Buff dry immediately to avoid streaks.
Hard Water Stains: Use white vinegar and
water.
Protective Polish: Apply to the surface to
maintain luster and protect from some food
stains. Use a soft, non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner like Signature Polish (see side note)
and apply with a soft lint-free cloth.
