steel ductwork.
This unit must be grounded.
To avoid motor bearing damage and
noisy and/or unbalanced impellers,
keep drywall spray, construction
dust, etc. off power unit.
For maximum ventilation capability,
the bottom of the hood should be a
minimum of 24" (610) and maximum
of 30" (762) above the countertop.
Please read specification label on

or island hood.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP
GREASE FIRE:
Never leave surface units
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking
at high heat or when cooking
flaming foods.
Clean ventilating fans frequently.
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
Use proper pan size. Always use
cookwareappropriate for the size of
the surface element.
USE AN EXTINGUISHER ONLYIF:
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 whereit started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your back
to an exit (NFPA Fire Safety Tips).
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF
A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
Smother flames with a close-
fitting lid, baking sheet or other
metal tray, then turn off the gas
burner. Be careful to prevent
burns. If the flames do not go out
immediately, evacuate and call
the firedepartment.
Do not use water, including wet
dish cloths or towels – a violent
steam explosion will result.

WOLF COOKTOP VENTILATION HOOD USE & CARE
VENTILATION HOOD CONTROLS
The ventilation hood is operated using the
controls along the front edge of the hood.
The
LIGHT button turns the halogen lights
onand off. The
LIGHT button also allows
you to brighten or dim lighting. Lighting
has three levels, high, medium and low.
The blower operates at three speeds. The
HIGH , MEDIUM or LOW button can be
pressed to activate the blower. The corre-
sponding LED indicator will illuminate to
indicate the blower speed.
To turn the ventilation hood off, depress the
speed control a second time. For example,
if you have the blower running at low
speed, press the
LOW button to turn off the
blower.
The LED next to the
FILTER button on the
controls will illuminate when it is time to
clean the filters. This indicator light comes
on after approximately 30 hours of opera-
tion. Refer to Filter Careon page 11.
Toreset the FILTER clean LED indicator,
press the
FILTER button.
DELAY-OFF MODE
The delay-off mode will allow the ventilation
hood blower to continue operating at the
selected speed for approximately five minutes
after the
DELAY button has been pressed. This
mode allows you to leave the cooking area,
while the ventilation hood is still in operation;
it will then shut off.
In delay-off mode, both the
DELAY LED and
the corresponding blower speed LED will
be illuminated.
If the blower is on high speed and the
DELAY button is pressed, the blower will
stay on high speed for five minutes. It will
then switch to low speed for an additional
five minutes beforeturning off.
If the blower is on medium speed and the
DELAY button is pressed, the blower will
stay on medium speed for five minutes.
It will then switch to low speed for an
additional five minutes beforeturning off.
If the blower is on low speed and the
DELAY button is pressed, the blower will
stay on low speed for five minutes before
turning off.
If the
DELAY button is pressed when the
blower is off, no operation will take place.
If the
DELAY button is pressed when the
unit is already in delay-off mode, the delay-
off mode will be cancelled.

WOLF COOKTOP VENTILATION HOOD USE & CARE
HEAT SENTRY FEATURE
The heat sentry feature will help you maintain
your cooking environment and allows your
ventilation hood to sense when blower opera-
tion is needed.
The heat sentry feature is always in wait and
is activated when the exhaust temperature
from the hood reaches 206˚F (97˚C). At this
temperature, the blower motor speed will
automatically adjust to the next highest speed.
For example, if the blower motor is in low
speed and the threshold temperature is
reached, the blower will increase to medium
speed. The corresponding LED on the control
will blink to indicate the heat sentry feature
blower speed.
Once heat sentry feature is activated, the
ventilation hood will continue to monitor
exhaust temperatures every three minutes. If
the exhaust temperature reaches 206˚F (97˚C),
the blower speed will increase to the next
highest speed and the corresponding LED
will blink. If after three minutes the exhaust
temperature falls below 174˚F (79˚C), the
blower speed will decrease to the next lowest
speed.
If the blower was off prior to heat sentry
feature activation, the unit will turn off when
exiting the heat sentry feature.
When the blower speed returns to the original
setting prior to heat sentry feature activation,
the corresponding LED will stop blinking and
remain constant. The unit has exited the heat
sentry feature.

WOLF COOKTOP VENTILATION HOOD USE & CARE
HALOGEN LIGHTING
The Wolf 30" (762) wall hood requires
two halogen bulbs (type T4, 12V, 20W).
The Wolf 36" (914) wall hood requires
three halogen bulbs (type T4, 12V, 20W).
The Wolf 42" (1067) Island hood requires
four halogen bulbs (type T4, 12V, 20W).
Replacement halogen light bulbs for the Wolf
cooktop wall and island hoods are available
through your Wolf dealer. To obtain local
dealer information, visit the Locator section of
our website, wolfappliance.com.
HALOGEN BULB REPLACEMENT
1) Turn ventilation hood blower and lights off.
2) Remove filters from underside of the hood.
3) Reach into the underside of the hood and
squeeze tabs on the back side of the bulb
housing.
4) Grasp the front lens assembly and twist to
loosen.
5) Remove the glass bulb cover and replace
the bulb. Use a paper towel when handling
the replacement bulb.
6) Push the bulb securely into the socket and
snap the lens assembly closed.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use a paper towel when
handling the replacement halogen bulb to keep
oil on fingers from touching the bulb. Failure
to do this will cause the bulb to burn out at
first use.
Be sure that the bulb is cool before
replacing. Halogen bulbs get hot
instantly and adjacent parts may retain
heat.

GENERAL CARE
Most surfaces of your cooktop wall or island
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Becareful not to soak the
electronic controls. Although they are sealed,
excessive moisture may cause damage to the
controls.
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.
HardWater 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 SignaturePolish (see side note)
and apply with a soft lint-free cloth.
FILTER CARE
The aluminum mesh filters should be cleaned
approximately every month, depending on
use. The FILTER clean LED on your controls
will illuminate when it is time to clean the
filters. This indicator light comes on after
approximately 30 hours of operation. You may
need to clean the filters more often if your
cooking style generates large amounts of
grease, like frying foods or wok cooking.
The filters and filter covers are dishwasher
safe and are designed to fit most dishwashers.
To remove the filters, push the filter toward the
back of the hood and rotate the filter
downward. Place the aluminum mesh filter
and stainless steel cover into the dishwasher
at approximately 140˚F (60˚C), or hand wash,
using a biodegradable detergent. When filters
aredry, reinstall using the reverse procedure.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT operate the
ventilation hood without the filters. This may
cause damage to the blower or other internal
components of the hood.
