S A F E T Y I N S T RU C T I O N S A N D P R E C AU T I O N S  
W H AT TO DO  
Use only dry pot holders when  
removing pans from the cooktop.  
Wet or damp pot holders on hot  
surfaces may result in burns from  
steam. Do not let pot holders touch  
hot heating elements.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all  
instructions before using this  
appliance.  
Read this Use & Care Information  
carefully before using your new  
cooktop to reduce the risk of fire,  
electric shock or injury to persons.  
Select cookware of the proper size,  
material and construction for the  
particular type of cooking being  
done. This unit is equipped with one  
or more surface units of different  
size. Refer to Cookware Selection on  
page 19.  
Ensure proper installation and  
servicing. This appliance must be  
properly installed and grounded by  
a qualified technician. Have the  
installer show you where the fuse  
box is located so that you know  
where to turn off power.  
Always turn pan handles inward so  
they do not extend over adjacent  
work areas, heating elements or  
edges of cooktop to reduce the risk  
of burns, ignition of flammable  
materials and spillage due to  
unintentional contact with pan. Do  
not turn handles toward the room,  
where they may be bumped or  
easily hit.  
Wear proper apparel. Never let loose  
clothing or other flammable  
materials come in contact with the  
elements while in operation. Fabric  
may ignite and result in personal  
injury.  
Always use a setting of eight bars  
or less on the bridge element when  
cooking on a griddle. Higher settings  
are not needed and can damage the  
cooktop and cookware. Refer to  
Bridge-Zone Element on page 15.

W H AT NOT TO DO  
Do not operate the cooktop if the  
ceramic glass top is broken or  
severely pitted. Call a Wolf  
authorized service center to repair  
the appliance.  
Never use your cooktop to warm or  
heat a room.  
When using the cooktop DO NOT  
TOUCH THE GLASS SURFACE  
directly above or adjacent to the  
heating elements. The glass surface  
may become hot enough to cause  
burns.  
Do not store flammable materials  
near hot components or let grease  
or other flammable substances  
accumulate on the cooktop.  
Do not leave children alone or  
unattended in the area where the  
cooktop is in use. Never allow  
children to sit or stand on the  
appliance. Do not let children play  
with the cooktop.  
Do not clean the cooktop while it is  
still hot. If using a damp sponge or  
cloth, wait until the cooktop has  
cooled sufficiently to prevent steam  
burns. Also, some cleaners give off  
noxious fumes when applied to hot  
surfaces. Refer to Cooktop Cleaning  
on page 18 and Cooktop Care on  
page 20.  
Do not repair or replace any part of  
the appliance unless it is specifically  
recommended in literature you  
received. All service should be  
referred to a Wolf authorized service  
center.  
Do not use a griddle, open roaster  
or fish poacher across two heating  
elements unless the bridge element  
is turned on. This type of use  
without the bridge element turned  
on could damage or crack the glass.  
Refer to Bridge-Zone Element on  
page 15.  
Do not use water on grease fires.  
Smother the flame or use a dry  
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.  
Never leave the cooktop unattended  
when using high heat settings.  
Boilovers and greasy spillovers may  
smoke or ignite.  
Do not block the cooling fan  
exhaust or intake vents. The cooling  
fan automatically turns on to cool  
internal parts. It may continue to run  
even after the cooktop has been  
turned off.  
DO NOT store items of interest to  
children above or at the back of  
the cooktop, as they could climb  
on the appliance to reach items  
and be injured.

elements rises above 150˚F (65˚C). ”HOT” will  
illuminate in the control panel. It will remain  
illuminated until the entire surface temperature  
has decreased to a safe level. Even if the  
cooktop controls are turned off, you are alerted  
that an area of the cooktop remains hot.  
During the first uses of your new electric  
cooktop, you may smell a slight burning odor  
or see light smoke. Both of these conditions  
are normal in new ceramic glass cooktops.  
COOLING FA N  
The electric cooktop is equipped with a cooling  
fan that automatically turns on to cool internal  
parts. The fan will turn off once internal  
temperatures have been lowered. During  
extended use, the cooling fan may continue to  
run even after the cooktop has been turned off  
until internal temperatures have been lowered.  
Make sure that the cooktop surface is  
clean and dry before operating.  
Do not place hot cooking utensils directly  
over the control panel.

To turn on a triple-zone heating element,  
touch the OFF ON touch pad of the control  
that corresponds with the triple-zone element.  
Refer to the illustration below.  
When activated, the bridge-zone element  
creates an oblong heating area for use with a  
griddle, open roaster or fish poacher.  
To turn on the bridge-zone heating element,  
touch the OFF ON touch pad of either control  
that corresponds with the bridge zone element.  
Refer to illustration below.  
Set the heat setting for the inner element  
zone as described on page 14.  
Touch ZONE 2 and the middle element  
zone will be turned on to the same heat  
setting as the inner zone. A light will remain  
on under the ZONE 2 touch pad to indicate  
the middle element zone is on.  
Set the heat setting for either the front or  
rear element as described on page 14.  
Touch BRIDGE. The bridge element and the  
element that is not turned on will both be  
set to the same heat setting as the first  
element. Lights will remain on under the  
front, rear and bridge element touch pads  
to indicate the bridge-zone elements are on.  
Touch ZONE 3 and the outer element zone  
will be turned on to the same heat setting  
as the inner and middle element zones.  
A light will remain on under the ZONE 3  
touch pad to indicate the outer element  
zone is on.  
Changing the heat setting of the entire  
bridge-zone element is done the same as  
for a single element. All three elements  
maintain the same heat setting.  
Changing the heat setting to the entire  
triple-zone element is the same as for a  
single element.  
Touch BRIDGE again to turn off the bridge  
element. The light under the bridge element  
touch pad will go out. The front and rear  
elements will remain at the current heat  
setting and will become independent of one  
another.  
If ZONE 3 is turned on directly, ZONE 2 will  
automatically be turned on. Similarly, if all  
three zones are turned on, turning off ZONE 2  
will automatically turn off ZONE 3  
.
When ZONE 3 is turned on, lights under the  
other two zones will dim. This is normal.  
The illustrations below show the control panel  
of Model CT36E.

C O O K TO P F R A M E ( F R A M E D M O D E L S )  
Lock the cooktop before cleaning by touching  
and holding the key symbol for 3 seconds.  
For general cleaning after each use, apply a  
nonabrasive cleaner to the stainless steel  
cooktop frame and gently wipe with a clean  
towel or cloth. Be sure to remove any cleaner  
residue from the frame and ceramic glass  
surface before using the cooktop.  
Clean the top surface thoroughly before  
operating the cooktop for the first time. Apply  
approximately 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of nonabra-  
sive cleaner (such as Elco Cook Top Cleaning  
Creme) to the surface of the ceramic glass with  
a lightly dampened clean cloth. Use a second  
clean cloth to remove any remaining cleaner  
residue. Wipe the cooktop surface with a dry  
cloth to completely eliminate any remaining  
moisture.  
The cooktop should be cleaned after each use.  
To avoid personal injury, be careful not to wipe  
or clean any hot areas. It will be safe to clean  
each element area whenever the hot-surface  
indicator light has gone out.  
To remove heavy or burned-on spills, allow the  
cooktop to cool. Use the razor blade scraper  
provided with the cooktop to scrape off any  
burned-on substances. Remove any remaining  
residue using the cleaning method described  
above.  
Pitting of the ceramic glass is possible if  
spills with a high sugar content are left in  
the hot zone. Use the razor blade  
provided to move the spill to a cool area  
for cleaning after the cooktop cools.

COOKWARE S E L E C T I O N  
COOKWARE S E L E C T I O N G U I D E  
Cooktops with a ceramic glass surface do not  
require special pots and pans; however,  
cookware will affect overall cooking efficiency.  
For best results, we recommend medium- to  
heavy-gauge metal cookware with flat, thick  
and smooth bottoms and a good-fitting lid.  
Use the following guidelines when selecting  
cookware:  
Choose cookware that corresponds to the following element  
diameters and dimensions (bridge-zone element):  
E L E M E N T  
P OW E R O U T P U T  
D I A M E T E R  
Triple-Zone Element  
36" (914) cooktops

2200 W (middle)  
2700 W (outer)  
6" (152)  
8" (203)  
12" (305)  
Select cookware with a diameter that  
matches the cooking zone. When a pan is  
placed on the heating element, it should not  
extend beyond the ring around the cooking  
zone. Cookware for the bridge-zone element  
should match the cooking zone size as  
closely as possible. Refer to the Cookware  
Selection Guide.

aluminum and copper. These metals are  
sometimes found ”sandwiched” between  
the inner and outer layers of the pan. If  
present, whether visible from the outside or  
not, they aid in evenly conducting heat.

Cast iron and especially glass cookware will  
be slower to heat. Glass cookware should  
only be used as recommended by the  
cookware manufacturer.  
*Power output differs for Model CT30-208/S. Refer to page 7 for this model.  
Cover pans while cooking; covers improve  
cooking efficiency. Water boils faster, using  
less energy, and the kitchen stays cooler.  
Select high-sided (deep) pans rather than  
ones with very wide bases and low sides.  
High sides will minimize liquids boiling  
over the pan.  
Avoid pots and pans with uneven or  
rounded bottom surfaces. Some specialty  
cookware such as woks, pressure cookers,  
canning modules and deep fat fryers  
must be carefully selected to meet the  
guidelines above.  
Dimensions in parentheses are in  
millimeters unless otherwise specified.

COOKTOP C A R E  
C E R A M I C G L A S S TO P C A R E  
M A I N T E N A N C E  
The electric cooktop is a sealed system that  
does not require internal maintenance. The  
cleaning and care information outlines the  
necessary maintenance for the ceramic glass  
surface. A Wolf authorized service center must  
perform all other maintenance.  
Follow these guidelines to avoid injury  
and prevent permanent damage to the  
cooktop.  
Do not use the cooktop as a cutting board.  
Do not slide rough-bottom cookware, such  
as cast iron, across the glass surface.  
Remove any resulting marks immediately  
using the razor blade scraper and cleaning  
cream as mentioned in Cooktop Cleaning  
on page 18.  
Do not allow any item that could melt to  
come in contact with the hot ceramic glass  
surface. If such a condition occurs, remove  
it immediately from the hot element with a  
razor blade.  
Do not place food directly on cooktop  
surface when it is warm or hot.  
Do not operate the cooktop if the ceramic  
glass surface is broken. Contact a Wolf  
authorized service center.  
Do not place a trivet, wok support ring or  
other metal stand directly onto the cooktop  
surface.  
Do not apply chlorine bleach, ammonia or  
other strong chemicals or cleaners to the  
cooktop surface.  
Do not use abrasive cleaners or applicators.  
Do not wipe the cooktop surface with a  
sponge or dish cloth that may leave a film  
of detergent; it will cause the cooktop to  
discolor during the next heating cycle.  
Do not set hot cooking utensils near the  
sealed outer edges of flush-mounted  
Models CT30EU or CT36EU. This will  
cause damage to the silicone seal.
