Wolf downdraft ventilation systems are recommended for use with Wolf electric and gas cooktops and integrated modules, excluding the grill, steamer and fryer modules. The down- draft should be at least as wide as the cooking surface.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Wolf downdraft ventilation systems cannot be used with Wolf dual fuel ranges, gas ranges, sealed burner rangetops and gas rangetops. A Wolf Pro ventilation hood should be used.
The 45" (1143) downdraft will fit most 45" (1143) wide cabinets. Cabinet backs may need to be removed. It is recommended that over- sized cabinets be used for easier installation.
To incorporate a downdraft system and a Wolf cooktop, you must allow for a minimum 251/8" (638) flat counter space from front to back. A countertop with a raised lip and/or backsplash may not allow enough space for proper installation. 2 3/8" (60) of flat countertop is required behind the cooktop and 13/4" (44) is necessary between the back edge of the cooktop and inside of cabinet back.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is not recommended and may cause interruption of operation.
You must follow all National Electrical Code regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes and ordinances when installing your service.
This appliance must be used with a Wolf approved remote mounted control module and top cover, which is included with the down- draft.
