Fresh Air Intakes
V E N T I L AT I O N C O N S I D E R A T I O N S
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.
V E N T I L AT I O N O P T I O N S
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, dishwasher-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.

Prepare the finished rough opening for the
rangetop according to the Installation Specifications illustration for your model on pages
8–9. The platform must be
3
/4" (19) thick and
include a cut-out at the back for gas supply
and electrical connections.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The platform must be
level to ensure that the cooking surface is
level.
Remove and discard all packing materials,
including cardboard and tape on the outside of
the rangetop. Remove burner grates from the
cooking surface.
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. Gas
supply and electrical connections should be
made before the rangetop is placed in its final

There are two types of gas, natural and liquid
propane (LP). Conversions are required in
order for appliances designed for one gas to be
operated with the other gas. Such conversions
must be performed by a Wolf authorized
service center. Make sure your Wolf gas
rangetop is correctly adjusted for the type of
gas being used.
The product rating plate has information on the
type of gas that should be used. The rating
plate is located under the drip pan that
supports the cooking grates, on the left inside
wall of the rangetop. The rating plate for
French Top models (except Model RT484F) is
located on the right inside wall. If this information does not agree with the type of gas

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The gas rangetop must
be connected to a regulated gas supply.
Provide a gas supply line of
3
/4" rigid pipe to
the rangetop location. A smaller size pipe on
long runs may result in insufficient gas supply.
Pipe joint compounds, suitable for use with
LP gas should be used. For LP gas, piping or
tubing size can be
1
/2" minimum. LP gas suppliers usually determine the size and materials
used on the system. If local codes permit, a
certified, 3' (.9 m) long,
1
/2" or3/4" ID flexible
metal appliance connector is recommended
for connecting this rangetop to the gas supply
line. The pipe coming off of the unit has
1

female threads.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The supply line must
be equipped with an approved external gas
shut-off valve located near the rangetop in an
accessible location. Do not block access to the
shut-off valve. Refer to the illustration below.
The Wolf gas rangetop functions up to 6,000'
(1828 m) in altitude without any adjustment. If
installation is above 6,000' (1828 m), contact
your Wolf dealer.
Before connecting the gas supply, make
sure all valves are in a closed position. Do
not connect the gas supply to an appliance that shows any sign of physical
damage.

Use a brush and liquid detergent to test all gas
connections for leaks. Bubbles around connections will indicate a leak. If a leak appears, shut
off the gas valve and adjust connections. Then
check connections again. Clean all the detergent solution from the rangetop.
Never test for a gas leak with a match or
other flame.
The maximum gas supply pressure to
