The front of your Wolf gas rangetop must be clear of any obstruction. For proper operation and servicing, a clear area of at least 36" (914) in front of the rangetop is recommended.
Your kitchen must provide an adequate supply of fresh air to assure proper combustion and ventilation. For the gas rangetop, fresh air intakes are located below the bullnose and control knobs. Never block the fresh air intakes, as they provide air required for proper operation. Refer to the illustration below.
Due to the high volume of ventilation air required, a source of outside replacement air is recommended. This is particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A qualified HVAC contractor should be consulted.
Keep combustibles such as solvents, cleaning fluids, mops and rags, away from the area surrounding all gas appliances.
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is recommended that you operate the Wolf gas rangetop with a Pro ventilation hood. Contact your Wolf dealer for details.
Pro Wall Hood – 22" (559), 24" (610) or 27" (686) depths and 30" (762) to 66" (1676) widths in classic stainless steel.
Pro Island Hood – 36" (914) to 66" (1676) widths in classic stainless steel.
Pro Hood Liner – available in widths to accommodate 30" (762) to 60" (1524) hood shells.
All Pro ventilation hoods have welded seams, sealed halogen lighting and removable, dish- washer-safe stainless steel filters.
Blower requirements may vary due to length of duct work and number of angles. The basic recommendation is 1 CFM per 100 Btu/hr.
Always consult your HVAC professional for more concise blower requirements.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When installing a ventilation hood, refer to the specific requirements of the hood for the minimum dimension to countertop.
