system attests to the importance you place
upon the quality and performance of your
cooking equipment. We understand this impor-
tance and have designed and built your down-
draft with quality materials and workmanship

IMPORTANT NOTE: Read all safety
instructions before using this
appliance.
This appliance must be grounded.
For general ventilating use only. Do
not use to exhaust hazardous or
explosive materials and vapors.
Read this Use & Care Information
carefully before using your new
downdraft ventilation system to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
or injury to persons.
Ducted fans must always be vented
to the outdoors.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only
steel ductwork.
Installation work and electrical
wiring must be done by qualified
person(s) in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards,
including fire-rated construction
codes and standards.
Do not install this downdraft with
the activating switch directly behind
a burner or element. The minimum
distance between the switch and
edge of the burner should be 4"
(102 mm).
Use this downdraft only in the
manner intended by Wolf Appliance
Company. If you have questions,
contact us at 800-332-9513.
Do not wear loose-fitting or hanging
clothing when operating this appli-
ance. It may be ignited by burners or
elements on the cooktop.
Before servicing or cleaning, switch
power off at the service panel and
lock the service disconnecting
means to prevent power from being
switched on accidentally. When the
service disconnecting means can not
be locked, securely fasten a promi-
nent warning device, such as a tag,
to the service panel.
Children should not be left alone or
unattended in the area where this
appliance is in use.
To reduce the risk of fire and
properly exhaust air, be certain to
duct air outside. Do not vent
exhaust air into spaces within
walls or ceilings or into attics,
crawl spaces or garages.
Sufficient air is needed for proper
combustion and exhausting of gases
through the flue (chimney) of fuel
burning equipment to prevent back
drafting. Follow the heating equip-
ment manufacturer’s guideline and
safety standards such as those
published by the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA), the
American Society for Heating,
Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) and the local
code authorities.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO
PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A
COOKTOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE
THE FOLLOWING:
Smother flames with close-fitting
lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then
turn off the burner. Be careful to
prevent burns. If the flames do not
go out immediately, evacuate and
call the fire department.
To avoid motor bearing damage and
noisy and/or unbalanced impellers,
keep drywall spray, construction
dust, etc. off power unit.
When cutting or drilling into wall or
ceiling, do not damage electrical
wiring or other hidden utilities.
Never pick up a flaming pan – you
may be burned.
Please read the specification label
on the downdraft for further infor-
mation and requirements.
Do not use water, including wet
dishcloths or towels – a violent
steam explosion will result.
USE AN EXTINGUISHER ONLY IF:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF RANGE

D OW N D R A F T CONTROLS
To activate your new Wolf downdraft, press
the UP/DOWN button on the control
module.
In delay-off mode, both the DELAY LED and
the corresponding blower speed LED will
be illuminated.
Once the UP/DOWN button is pressed, the
downdraft blower will turn on at the last
speed used, or on medium for first time
use.
If the blower is on high speed and the
DELAY button is pressed, the blower will
stay on high speed for five minutes. It will
then switch to low speed for an additional
five minutes before turning off. The
chimney will stay up.
To adjust the speed of the blower, press
the HIGH MEDIUM or LOW button. The
,
corresponding LED will illuminate to
indicate the blower speed.
If the blower is on medium speed and the
DELAY button is pressed, the blower will
stay on medium speed for five minutes.
It will then switch to low speed for an
additional five minutes before turning off.
The chimney will stay up.
The LED next to the FILTER button on the
control module will illuminate when it is
time to clean the filters. This indicator light
comes on after approximately 30 hours of
operation. Refer to Filter Care on page 9.
If the blower is on low speed and the
DELAY button is pressed, the blower will
stay on low speed for five minutes before
turning off. The chimney will stay up.
To reset the FILTER clean LED indicator,

WO L F DOWNDRAFT U S E & C A R E
GENERAL C A R E
Most surfaces of your downdraft ventilation
system are stainless steel or aluminum.
Although these surfaces are resistant to most
stains, they are not totally impervious to
damage. Salt and some cooking liquids may
pit and stain the surface. Always remove these
spills immediately.
Protective Polish: Apply to the surface to
maintain luster and protect from some food
stains. Use a soft, non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaner like Signature Polish (see side note)
and apply with a soft lint-free cloth.
S I G N AT U R E
P O L I S H
FILTER C A R E
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be careful not to soak the
control module. Although they are sealed,
excessive moisture may cause damage to the
controls.
The aluminum mesh filters should be cleaned
approximately every month, depending on
use. The FILTER clean LED on your control
module will illuminate when it is time to clean
the filters. This indicator light comes on after
approximately 30 hours of operation. You may
need to clean the filters more often if your
cooking style generates large amounts of
grease, like frying foods or wok cooking.
Signature Polish
is available from
Signature Limited
Laboratory,
P. O. Box 13436,
Dayton, Ohio
45413-0436, or
call 877-376-5474
(toll free).
C L E A N I N G
Using a clean cloth or sponge, wipe with warm
water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry
immediately. Apply protective polish, always
in the same direction as the grain.
The filters and filter covers are dishwasher
safe and are designed to fit most dishwashers.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use steel wool
pads or abrasive cleaners; they will perma-
nently scratch the surface.
To remove the filters, push down on the filter
frame while pulling the filter out away from
the downdraft. Refer to the illustration below.
Place the aluminum mesh filter and stainless
steel cover into the dishwasher at approxi-
mately 140˚F (60˚C), or hand wash, and use a
biodegradable detergent. When filters are dry,
reinstall using the reverse procedure.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Painted surfaces should
be cleaned with warm water and mild deter-
gent only.
Spray Degreasers: Removes fingerprints and
greasy spatters. Spray on a cloth and wipe the
surface. Buff dry immediately to avoid streaks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT operate the
downdraft without filters. This may cause
damage to the blower or other internal
components of the downdraft system.
Hard Water Stains: Use white vinegar and
water.
