The correct voltage, frequency and amperage must be supplied to the appliance from a dedicated, grounded circuit which is protected by a properly sized circuit breaker or time delay fuse. The proper voltage, frequency, and amperage ratings are listed on the product rating plate.

Record the model and serial numbers before installing the fryer module. Both numbers are listed on the product rating plate located on the underside of the module. Refer to the illustration below.

BEFORE YOU S TART

IMPORTANT NOTE: Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer or service agency. Warranty service must be performed by a Wolf authorized service center.

Installation of the fryer module must meet the minimum clearance requirements for safe operation. Refer to Site Preparation on page 4.

The fryer module must be installed in a base cabinet that allows access to the manual drain valve for draining the oil.
Refer to the Manual Drain Outlet section on page 6.

If the fryer module is to be used with any combination of additional cooktop units or modules, refer to the Multiple Cooktop Installation section on page 6.

Electrical installation must be adequate and in compliance with all local codes and ordinances. Electrical ground is required, refer to Electrical Requirements on page 8.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A ventilation hood is recommended (but not required) for use with the Wolf electric fryer module.

SITE PREPARATION

IMPORTANT NOTE: Installation of the Wolf electric fryer module must meet the following location requirements. All dimensions listed are minimum requirements for safe operation. Refer to the illustration below.

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a ventilation hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5″ (127) beyond the bottom cabinets.

LOCATION IN COUNTERTOP

A) Minimum flat countertop surface. Must be equal to or greater than the width of the module(s).
B) Minimum 6″ (152) wide clearance from the module side edge to any combustible surface up to 18″ (457) above the countertop (noted by shaded area).

OVER HEAD CABINET DIMENSIONS

C) Minimum spacing between overhead side cabinets must be greater than or equal to the nominal width of the module(s).
D) Minimum 18″ (457) vertical distance from the countertop to the bottom of side cabinets within minimum side clearance.
E) Minimum vertical distance between the countertop and combustible materials above the module must be 30″ (762).
F) Minimum 1″ (25) from rear wall.
G) Maximum 13″ (330) depth of overhead and side cabinets directly above and within side clearance.

Failure to locate the fryer module without the proper clearances will result in a fire hazard.

INSTALLATION SPECIFICATIONS

The illustrations below provide the overall dimensions, finished cut-out dimensions and electrical placement for the Wolf electric fryer module.

The fryer module is designed to fit a standard 24″ (610) deep base cabinet with 25″ (635) deep countertop. Before making the countertop cutout, verify that the module will clear the side walls of the base cabinet below.

Refer to the Installation Specifications illustration on page 5 for location of the manual drain outlet.

MULTIPLE COOKTOP INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the fryer module is to be used with a combination of additional cooktop units or modules with a filler strip, the cut-out width is calculated by adding the corresponding units’ cut-out dimensions plus 11/4″ (32) for each additional unit. When multiple units are installed side by side, each unit must have its own separate recommended electrical circuit.

When two or more modules are installed together, an integrated module filler strip (IFILLER/S) is recommended. Contact your Wolf dealer for information on accessories.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Review specific installation instructions for product to product capabilities.

This fryer module must be installed at least 15″ (381) away from any open- flame cooking device. The open flame may cause ignition of oil.
