MULTIPLE COOKTOP INSTALLATION

If the fryer module is to be used in combination with
additional cooktops or modules with a filler strip, refer to
the chart below for the countertop cut-out width. The
dimensions are derived by adding an additional 1

1

/4" (32)
for each additional unit, to give you the total countertop
cut-out width. Dimensions include the filler strip.

When multiple cooktops are installed side by side, each
unit must have its own separate, recommended electrical
circuit.

When two or more cooktops or modules are installed
together, an integrated module filler strip is recommended.
The filler strip and other accessories are available through
your authorized Wolf dealer. To obtain local dealer informa­tion, visit the find a showroom section of our website,
wolfappliance.com.
