Installation Requirements

A minimum 2" (51) is required from the bottom of the

cooktop to combustible materials. If the cooktop is installed

above an oven, a minimum of

1

/4" (6) is required between

units.

The contemporary gas cooktop can be mounted ush with

the top of the countertop, or as a standard installation

sitting on top of the countertop surface. If the cooktop is

to be mounted ush with the countertop, a recessed area

surrounding the cooktop cut-out must be provided. The

countertop must be able to withstand temperatures up to

300°F

(149°C). Wolf downdraft systems cannot be used with

the contemporary gas cooktop.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For ush installations, do not use the

cooktop as a template to create the countertop opening.

Use the countertop cut-out template or specications pro-

vided. Failure to do so may cause damage.

SPECIFICATIONS

Electrical Requirements

Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.

on the following pages. A separate circuit, servicing only

this appliance is required. A ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) is not recommended and may cause interruption of

operation.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

Electrical Supply grounded, 120 VAC, 60 Hz

SPECIFICATIONS

Gas Supply

Installation must comply with local codes or, in the absence

of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code.

Locate the gas supply as shown in the illustrations on the

following pages.

The cooktop is equipped for use with natural or liquid

propane (LP) gas. It is design certied by the Canadian

Standards Association (CSA) for natural or LP gases. The

product rating plate has information on the type of gas that

should be used. For rating plate location, refer to the illustra-

tion below. If this information does not agree with the type

of gas available, check with the local gas supplier. The gas

pressure regulator is built into the unit.

GAS REQUIREMENTS

NATURAL GAS WC

Supply Pressure 5" (12.5 mb)

Min Line Pressure 7" (17.5 mb)

Max Regulator Pressure 14" (34.9 mb), .5 psi (3.5 kPa)

LP GAS WC

Supply Pressure 10" (25 mb)

Min Line Pressure 11" (27.4 mb)

Max Regulator Pressure 14" (34.9 mb), .5 psi (3.5 kPa)

The cooktop must be connected to a regulated gas supply.

The supply line must be equipped with an approved external

gas shut-off valve located near the cooktop in an accessible

location. Do not block access to the shut-off valve. Refer to

the illustration below.

A gas supply of

3

/4" (19) ID line must be provided to the

cooktop. If local codes permit, a certied, 3'

(.9 m) long,

1

/2" (13) or

3

/4" (19) ID exible metal appliance connector is

recommended to connect the units

1

/2" NPT male inlet to

the gas supply line. Pipe joint compounds, suitable for use

with natural or LP gas should be used.

The appliance and its shut-off valve must be disconnected

from the gas supply piping system during any pressure

testing of the system at test pressures in excess of .5 psi

(3.5 kPa)

. The appliance must be isolated from the gas

supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-

off valve during any pressure testing of the system at test

pressures equal to or less than .5 psi

(3.5 kPa).

Wolf natural gas cooktops will function up to 10,250'

(3124 m)

in altitude without adjustment and LP gas cooktops

will function up to 8,600'

(2621 m). If the installation exceeds

these elevations, contact your authorized Wolf dealer for a

high altitude conversion kit.

STANDARD INSTALLATION

1 Lower the cooktop into the countertop cut-out. Center

the cooktop in the opening with the front edge aligned

parallel to the front edge of the countertop. Using a

pencil, outline the rear edge of the cooktop on the coun-

tertop. Remove the cooktop.

2 Apply the foam strip to the perimeter of the countertop

opening. Refer to the illustration below. Do not seal the

cooktop to the countertop.

3 Insert the cooktop into the opening, aligning the rear

edge with the pencil line. Verify the cooktop is aligned

with the front edge of the countertop.

4 Attach the brackets provided, to the bottom of the unit.

Insert the 3

1

/2" (89) clamping screws into the brackets.

Use a screwdriver to tighten clamping screws against

the bottom of the countertop. Do not overtighten screws.

Refer to the illustration below.

Contemporary Cooktop

STANDARD INSTALLATION

An optional template has been provided to aid in valve hole

placement.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prior to installing the cooktop, install

valve stem spacers on valve stem retainers to achieve the

appropriate depth. A 1"

(25) thick facade does not require a

spacer. For all facades less than 1"

(25), subtract the thick-

ness of the facade from 1"

(25) to determine the required

spacer thickness.

1 Once the proper spacing is determined, remove paper

backing from spacers and apply to each valve stem.

Refer to the illustration below.

2 Insert the front of the cooktop into the opening. Slightly

angle the cooktop to align each valve stem with the

holes in the façade. Then lower the back of the cooktop

into position. Refer to the illustration below.

6 Apply a thin lm of petroleum jelly to the outermost,

underside edge of the cooktop pan. The petroleum jelly

aids in future removal.

7 Insert the cooktop into the opening.

8 Ensure the cooktop is fully seated and centered in the

opening.

9 Install bezels to valve assembly by rotating clockwise

until hand tight. Do not overtighten. Refer to the illustra-

tion below.

10 Apply sealant between the cooktop and countertop.

11 Use the squeegee to smooth the seam and remove

excess sealant.

12 Allow the sealant to set for 20 minutes.

13 Use denatured alcohol and paper towels to clean the

seam.

14 Allow 24 hours for the sealant to cure.

15 Use stainless steel cleaner/polish to remove sealant from

the countertop and cooktop.

FLUSH INSTALLATION

The following are provided:

• A required installation kit

• An optional template to aid in cooktop placement

• An optional template to aid in valve hole placement

IMPORTANT NOTE: Prior to installing the cooktop, install

valve stem spacers on valve stem retainers to achieve the

appropriate depth. A 1"

(25) thick facade does not require a

spacer. For all facades less than 1"

(25), subtract the thick-

ness of the facade from 1"

(25) to determine the required

spacer thickness.

1 Once the proper spacing is determined, remove paper

backing from spacers and apply to each valve stem.

Refer to the illustration below.

2 Clean all surfaces of dust and debris.

3 Insert the front of the cooktop into the opening. Slightly

angle the cooktop to align each valve stem with the

holes in the façade and lower the back of the cooktop

into position. Refer to the illustration below.

4 Verify there is a gap of at least

1

/16" (2) to the countertop

around the perimeter of the cooktop. The gap allows

for heat expansion. The countertop may be damaged if

there is an insufcient gap.

5 Remove the cooktop.

Gas Supply Connection

All connections to the gas piping must be wrench-tightened.

Do not overtighten or allow pipes to turn when tightening.

If a exible metal connector is being used, verify it is not

kinked, then attach the gas supply line to the regulator on

the cooktop. Open the valve and check for leaks by placing

a liquid detergent solution onto all gas connections. Bubbles

around connections indicate a gas leak. If a leak appears,

close the shut-off valve and adjust connections.

INSTALLATION

Burner Grates

24" MODEL

For 24" models, the grates must be positioned correctly to

ensure proper burner performance. The grates have an indi-

cator on the bottom of the front edge. Position the grates

with the indicator toward the front of the cooktop. Refer to

the illustration below.

erly, follow these troubleshooting steps:

• Verify electrical power is supplied to the cooktop.

• Verify the gas supply shut-off valve is in the open

position.

• If the cooktop does not operate properly, contact Wolf

Factory Certied Service. Do not attempt to repair the

cooktop. Wolf is not responsible for service required to
