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

WOLF INDUCTION COOKTOP FEATURES
INDUCTION COOKING
Induction cooking has been used in Europe for
decades by professionals and homeowners
emanding the best in performance. Now Wolf
d
is pleased to introduce this sleek, 15-inch
powerhouse.
In induction cooking, the electricity flows
hrough a coil to produce a magnetic field
t
under the ceramic cooktop.
When a cast iron or magnetic stainless steel
pan is placed on the ceramic glass 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 like stainless steel and cast iron (it will not work with
aluminum or copper pots).
BENEFITS OF INDUCTION COOKING
peed.Heating is immediate. Adjustment is
S
immediate. No slow change from heating up to
cooling down. Heats up to 50% faster than gas
r electric cooktops.
o
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 finger, activate Hi-Power mode and boil
water in half the time you normally do.
Energy efficiency.
Energy is supplied directly
to the cooking vessel so 85% to 90% of the
electric energy gets used to cook. This means
a cool kitchen and a cool stovetop.
Easy to clean.
The surface remains relatively
cool, so overflows 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.
WOLF
WARRANTY
Wolf products are
covered by a two
and five year
residential
warranty (exclusions apply). See

RESIDUAL HEAT INDICATORS
As an additional safety precaution, residual
heat indicator lights will illuminate when the
urface temperature of the glass is above 150˚F
s
(65˚C). Each heating element has an independently controlled light located to the right of the
lement as shown in the illustration. Even if
e
the cooktop controls are turned off, you are
alerted to any area of the cooktop that remains
hot.
Do not set griddles or oversized pans on
residual heat indicator lights.
INITIAL START-UP
Before operating the cooktop, please read the
entire Use & Care Information.
Clean the cooktop surface as outlined in the
eramic Glass Top Cleaning section on page
C
12. The cooktop surface must be free of any
foreign substance, especially those that could
elt and permanently adhere to the glass.
m
During the first uses of your new induction
cooktop, you may smell a slight burning odor
or see light smoke. Both of these conditions
are normal in new ceramic glass cooktops.
NOTE: A sound may be detected when the
cooktop begins operation. This is normal.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When the cooktop is
powered up for the first time, the unit will
default to
Lock mode
. To unlock the control

COOKWARE SELECTION
Cookware selection is crucial in the performance of induction cooking. Choose your
ookware according to the following guide-

lines:
The bottom surface of the cookware must
be a ferrous material (containing iron).
luminum, copper, glass and certain stain-
A
less steel cookware will not work.
Magnetic stainless steel or cast iron
cookware is required for induction cooking.
Select cookware with a diameter to match
the diameter of the heating element. When
a pan is placed on the element, it should
not extend more than 1" (25 mm) beyond
the ring around the element. Refer to the
Cookware Selection Guide for recommendations.
Avoid pots and pans with uneven or
rounded bottom surfaces. Some specialty
cookware such as woks, pressure cookers,
canning modules and deep fat fryers must
be carefully selected to meet induction
cooking criteria.
See your local fine cookware dealer for
induction-appropriate cookware.
