SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A COOKTOP
GREASE FIRE:
Never leave surface units
unattended at high settings.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
Grease should not be allowed to
accumulate on fan or filter.
Use proper pan size. Always use
cookware appropriate for the size of
the surface element.
or when flambéing food
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY
TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF
A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
Smother flames with a closefitting lid, baking sheet or other
metal tray, then turn off the gas
burner. Be careful to prevent
burns. If the flames do not go out
immediately, evacuate and call
the fire department.
Do not use water, including wet

RECESSED CONTROLS
Controls for Pro ventilation hoods and hood
liners are recessed under the front edge of the
ood. Refer to the illustration below.
h
LIGHT CONTROL
The left rotary switch operates the halogen
lights. There are two settings, HIGH and LOW.
The LOW setting can be used as a night-light.
From the OFF position, turn the switch to the
desired light setting, left for LOW and right for
HIGH light setting.
HEAT LAMP CONTROL
If your hood is equipped with heat lamps, a
center rotary switch will control the lamps.
Each heat lamp may function independently or
both lamps may be activated simultaneously
from the single switch. From the OFF position,
simply turn the switch to the right to activate
the right heat lamp or to the left to activate the
left lamp. When the switch is in the vertical
position, both heat lamps will be activated.
BLOWER CONTROL
The right rotary switch that operates the
blower is variable, allowing infinite control of
the blower speed. Rotate the switch fully
counterclockwise to turn the blower off.
HEAT SENTRY FEATURE
Heat Sentry feature turns the ventilation hood
on when heat is sensed and adjusts the blower
peed automatically. The Heat Sentry feature is
s
activated when the exhaust temperature from
the hood reaches 200˚F (95˚C) and deactivated
hen the exhaust temperature decreases to
w
186˚F (85˚C).
At 200˚F (95˚C) the blower motor will automatically adjust to HIGH speed. When the sensor
cools down to 186˚F (85˚C) it adjusts the blower
back to the setting on the blower control. For
example, if blower motor is in LOW speed and
threshold temperature is reached, the blower
will increase to HIGH speed.
FILTER REMOVAL
To remove the stainless steel filters, push each
filter up at the angle it is placed in and rotate
down. Remove the center filter first. Take out
the grease cups (if applicable) placed on the
bottom edge of the hood coinciding with the
bottom edge of the filters. Gloves should be
worn to provide the proper grip. Reinstall
using the reverse procedure as shown in the
illustration below. Outer filters may need to be
pushed over while the center filter is reinstalled.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
DO NOT operate the
ventilation hood without the filters. This may
cause damage to the blower or other internal
components of the hood.

Laboratory,

Dayton, Ohio
45413-0436, or
call 877-376-5474
(toll free).
Most surfaces of your Wolf Pro hood are
stainless steel. Although resistant to most
tains, it is not totally impervious to damage.
s
GENERAL CLEANING
Salt and some cooking liquids may pit and
stain the surface. Always remove any film
or spills immediately.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners. They will
permanently scratch the surface.
Do not use steel wool pads.
Be careful not to soak the rotary switches.
Although they are sealed, excessive
moisture may cause damage to the
controls.
A spray degreaser will remove fingerprints
and greasy spatters. Spray on a cloth and
wipe surface. Buff dry immediately to avoid
streaking.
Use white vinegar and water to remove
hard water stains.
DECORATIVE RAIL
lean the decorative hood rail using warm
C
soapy water. Then hand dry with a clean,
soft cloth.
It is not necessary to remove the decorative
rail from the hood assembly. It should be
cleaned in place.
Be careful not to pull or hang on the bar, as
this could damage the hood assembly.
STAINLESS STEEL FINISH
Use a soft, nonabrasive stainless steel cleaner
like Signature Polish (see side note) and apply
with a soft lint-free cloth. To bring out the
natural luster, lightly wipe the surface with a
water-dampened microfiber cloth, followed
with a dry microfiber cloth. All work should
follow the same grain direction as the finish.
Best results are obtained by keeping the cloth
in continuous contact with the metal.
Use a clean cloth or sponge, wipe with
warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and
dry immediately.
Apply a protective polish like Signature
Polish (see side note) to the surface to
maintain luster and protect against food
stains. Apply the polish following the same
grain direction as the finish.
Under no cir
metallic or highly abrasive cleaner or
cloth, as this will damage the finish.
