dimensions shown in the illustration for your specific
model on the previous pages. The platform must be able
to support 250 lbs (113 kg) for a 36" (914) rangetop and
300 lbs (136 kg) for a 48" (1219) rangetop. The platform
must include a cut-out at the center rear for electrical and
gas supply connections.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The platform must be level to ensure
that the cooking surface is level.
Remove and discard all packing materials from the
rangetop.
If your installation requires a riser, it must be attached to
the rangetop before installation. Refer to the installation
instructions packaged with the riser.
Position the rangetop on the platform. Electrical and gas
supply connections should be made before the rangetop
is placed in its final position.
Gas Supply Connection
Before connecting the gas supply, make sure all valves
are in a closed position.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All connections to the gas piping must
be wrench-tightened. Do not make connections too tight,
this may crack the regulator and cause a gas leak. Do not
allow the pipes to turn when tightening fittings.
Assemble the flexible metal connector from the gas supply
pipe to the gas pressure regulator. Determine the fittings
required depending on the size of your gas supply line,
flexible metal connector and shut-off valve. Refer to the
illustration below. If a flexible metal connector is used, be
sure the tubing is not kinked. Open the shut-off valve in
the gas supply line. Wait a few minutes for the gas to
move through the line.
GAS LEAK TESTING
Brush a liquid detergent solution onto all gas connections
to test for leaks. Bubbles around connections will indicate
a gas leak. If a leak appears, close the gas shut-off valve
and adjust connections. Check for leaks again. Clean off
the detergent solution.
Never test for a gas leak with a match or other flame.

Verify Rangetop Operation
IMPORTANT NOTE: P
sure to read the entire Wolf gas rangetops use & care
guide included with the rangetop for important safety,
service and warranty information.
SURFACE BURNERS
Place the burner parts on each burner base and position
the burner grates before lighting.
Surface burners of the gas rangetop use electronic
igniters. When the control knob is pushed in and turned to
the HIGH position, the system creates a spark to light the
burner. This sparking continues until the electronic ignition
senses a flame.
To check operation of the surface burners, push in and
turn each control knob to the HIGH position. The flame
should light within four seconds.
If the burners do not light properly, turn control knobs to
the OFF position. Check that burner parts are in the
proper position. Make sure electricity is being supplied to
the rangetop and that the gas shut-off valve is in the open
position. Check operation again, waiting at least five
minutes; if the burners still do not light properly, contact a
Wolf authorized service center.
