W O L F E L E C T R I C C O O K TO P U S E & C A R E C O N T RO L O P E R AT I O N M O D E S O F O P E R AT I O N The Wolf electric cooktop operates by using high frequency pulsation, cycling the heating elements between zero power and full power. As the heat is increased on the control panel, the element will stay at full power for longer periods and have shorter periods of zero power.
W O L F E L E C T R I C C O O K TO P U S E & C A R E H OT S U R FAC E I N D I C AT O R S I N I T I A L S TA RT- U P As an additional safety precaution, hot surface indicator lights will illuminate when the surface temperature of the glass is above 150˚F (65˚C). Each heating element has an independently controlled light located to the right of that element as shown in the illustration below. Even if the cooktop controls are turned off, you are alerted to any area of the cooktop that remains hot.
W O L F E L E C T R I C C O O K TO P U S E & C A R E C O O K TO P O P E R A T I O N To activate a heating element, touch the OFF ON touch pad that corresponds to the element you wish to use. The power bar indicator graph will begin to blink and show a half-power status.

Apply approximately one teaspoon of nonabrasive cleaner such as Elco Cook Top Cleaning Creme, to the surface of the glass ceramic with a lightly dampened clean cloth. Use a second clean cloth to remove any remaining cleaner residue.
W O L F E L E C T R I C C O O K TO P U S E & C A R E C O O K WA R E S E L E C T I O N Cooktops with a glass ceramic surface do not require special pots and pans; however, cookware will affect the overall heating efficiency. For best results, we recommend medium to heavy gauge metal cookware with flat, thick and smooth bottoms and a goodfitting cover. Use the following guidelines when selecting cookware: Select cookware with a diameter to match the cooking zone.
W O L F E L E C T R I C C O O K TO P U S E & C A R E C O O K TO P C A R E G L A S S C E R A M I C TO P C A R E 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 the cleaning section.
