Electric Cooktop Operation

Control Panel

The control panel of your electric cooktop is illuminated for instant visual indication that one or more elements are in use. The control panel features touch controls with graduated control lighting. A power bar indicator in each control will display the heat setting level for the element. Refer to the illustration below.

Wolf electric cooktops operate 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.

When using the dual-zone or triple-zone elements, all sections of the element will cycle at the same rate. For safety reasons, the outer elements cannot be turned on independently from the center section.

Do not place hot cookware directly over the control panel.

LOCK MODE

In lock mode, all touch pad operations on the control panel are disabled and all heating elements are turned off. A steady glowing light within the “key” symbol indicates that the cooktop is locked. Refer to the illustration below.

To lock the control panel, touch and hold the key symbol for 3 seconds. Three chimes will sound and the light within the key symbol will illuminate. The cooktop is now in lock mode.

To unlock the control panel, touch and hold the key symbol for 3 seconds. Two chimes will sound and the light within the key symbol will go out. The cooktop is now in idle mode.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When the cooktop is powered up for the first time or if there has been a power outage, the cooktop will default to lock mode.

IDLE MODE

After unlocking the control panel as described in lock mode, the cooktop enters the idle mode of operation. Available touch pad operations include OFF ON for each element, lock mode and timer functions.
