Know before you buy
Induction cooktops require magnetic cookware, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel. If a magnet sticks firmly to the bottom of your pot or pan, it is compatible with this cooktop.
Yes, this unit requires a 240/208 VAC, 60 Hz power supply and must be connected to a dedicated 50-amp circuit. We recommend consulting with a professional electrician to ensure your kitchen meets these requirements before installation.
Because induction technology heats the cookware directly rather than the surface of the cooktop, spills are less likely to bake onto the glass. The smooth, flat surface can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth or a specialized glass cooktop cleaner once the surface has cooled.
The cooktop surface stays relatively cool because it only generates heat through electromagnetic energy transferred to the cookware. While the glass may become warm from the residual heat of the pan, it does not get nearly as hot as a traditional radiant electric element.
Yes, this model is designed for built-in installation. However, you must verify the specific clearance requirements and ventilation guidelines in the installation manual to ensure compatibility with your chosen oven model.
The cooktop measures 36 inches wide by 21 inches deep. You should refer to the official Wolf installation guide for the precise cutout dimensions, as these are critical for a proper, seamless fit in your countertop.
