SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all safety instructions
before using this appliance.
• Read this use & care guide carefully before using
your new cooktop to reduce the risk of re, electric
shock or injury to persons.
• Ensure proper installation and servicing. This appli-
ance must be properly installed and grounded by
a qualied technician. Have the installer show you
the location of the circuit breaker or fuse so that
you know where to turn off power.
• Warranty service must be performed by Wolf
factory certied service.
• Before performing any service, disconnect the
power supply to the cooktop by switching off the
circuit breaker or removing the fuse.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Performance may be compromised if the electrical supply is less than 240 volts.
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Wear proper apparel. Never let loose clothing or
other ammable materials come in contact with the
elements while in operation. Fabric may ignite and
result in personal injury.
• Use only dry pot holders when removing pans
from the cooktop. Wet or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch hot heating elements.
• Select cookware of the proper size, material and
construction for the particular type of cooking
being done. This unit is equipped with heating
elements of different size. Refer to element rating
on pages 6–7.
• Always turn pan handles inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, heating elements
or edges of cooktop to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of ammable materials and spillage due to
unintentional contact with pan. Do not turn handles
toward the room, where they may be bumped or
easily hit.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
•
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 splatter. Cookware should always be dry.
•
Do not use aluminum foil on the surface of the
cooktop.
• Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.
• When using the cooktop, do not touch the glass
surface directly above or adjacent to the heating
elements or induction zones. The glass surface
may become hot enough to cause burns.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the
area where the cooktop is in use. Never allow
children to sit or stand on the appliance. Do not let
children play with the cooktop.
• Do not store items of interest to children above or
at the back of the cooktop, as they could climb on
the appliance to reach items and be injured.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless it is specically recommended in literature
you received. All service should be referred to Wolf
factory certied service.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when using
high heat settings. Boilovers and greasy spillovers
may smoke or ignite.
• Do not operate the cooktop if the glass-ceramic
surface is broken or severely pitted. Call Wolf
factory certied service to repair the cooktop.
• Do not store ammable materials near hot compo-
nents or let grease or other ammable substances
accumulate on the cooktop.
• Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot.
If using a damp sponge or cloth, wait until the
cooktop has cooled sufciently to prevent steam
burns. Also, some cleaners give off noxious fumes
when applied to hot surfaces. Refer to care recommendations on page 17.
• Do not use a griddle, open roaster or sh poacher
across two heating elements unless the bridge
element is turned on. This type of use without
the bridge element turned on could damage or
crack the glass. Refer to bridge element on
page 13.
• Do not block the cooling fan exhaust or intake
vents. The cooling fan automatically turns on to
cool internal parts. It may continue to run even
after the cooktop has been turned off.
• Do not use water on grease res. Smother
the ame or use a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.

INDUCTION COOKTOP
In induction cooking, the electricity ows through a coil to
produce a magnetic eld under the glass-ceramic surface.
When an induction-compatible pan is placed on the
cooktop, currents are induced in the pan and instant heat is
generated. Cookware made of magnetic materials, such as
cast iron or magnetic stainless steel is required for induction
cooking.
