Wolf Induction Cooktops Design Guide
ICB REVISED 4/2023 v25
Introduction to Induction Cooktops
Experience almost instantaneous temperature response with virtually no wasted heat. Induction cooking, popular among European chefs and homeowners for decades, is now brought to North American kitchens by Wolf. Its core technology relies on magnetism: electromagnetic elements cause iron and magnetic stainless cookware to heat up instantly and with perfectly distributed heat. Heat generation ceases the moment you turn off the element or remove the pan, keeping the cooktop's surface cool and your kitchen cooler. Transitional models feature a brushed stainless steel trim, while contemporary models offer a flush-mount installation option.
The following models share the same stainless steel frame, suitable for paired installations: ICBCI243TF/S, ICBCI304TF/S, and ICBCI365TF/S.

Standard Installation
For standard installations of 60 cm, 76 cm, and 91 cm Induction Cooktops:
- Countertop Cutout Dimensions: Width (W) varies by model (see table below), Depth 495 mm. A 64 mm clearance is required on each side of the cutout.
- Side View Clearance: 330 mm depth required below the countertop.
- Front View Dimensions: 457 mm height, 650 mm width.
- Note: The shaded area above the countertop indicates minimum clearance to combustible surfaces; combustible materials cannot be located within this area. Electrical supply location notes apply only to installations with a built-in oven.
Standard Installation Cutout Widths
Cooktop Size | Width (W) |
---|---|
60 cm Cooktop | 562 mm |
76 cm Cooktop | 737 mm |
91 cm Cooktop | 889 mm |
Flush Installation (76 cm / 91 cm Models)
For flush installations of 76 cm and 91 cm Induction Cooktops:
- Countertop Profile: Maximum thickness 22 mm, with an 8 mm edge.
- Recess Dimensions: 537 mm depth, with a minimum 40 mm recess depth.
- Countertop Cutout Dimensions: Width (W) varies by model (see table below), Depth 495 mm. A 64 mm clearance is required on each side of the cutout. The 'A' dimension indicates the recess depth.
- Side View Clearance: 330 mm depth required below the countertop.
- Front View Dimensions: 457 mm height, 650 mm width.
- Note: The shaded area above the countertop indicates minimum clearance to combustible surfaces; combustible materials cannot be located within this area. Electrical supply location notes apply only to installations with a built-in oven. Outside corner radius 11 mm.
Flush Installation Cutout Widths and Recess Depths
Cooktop Size | Width (W) | Recess Depth (A) |
---|---|---|
76 cm Cooktop | 737 mm | 765 mm |
91 cm Cooktop | 889 mm | 918 mm |
Planning Information
A minimum height clearance of 159 mm is required from the top of the countertop to any combustible surface directly below the cooktop.
Contemporary Induction Cooktops can be mounted flush with the top of the countertop, or as a frameless standard installation sitting on top of the countertop surface. If the cooktop is to be mounted flush with the countertop, a recessed area surrounding the cooktop cutout must be provided.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Flush mount installations are intended for granite, solid surface, or stone countertop surfaces only.
Electrical Requirements
Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes and be properly grounded (earthed). Locate the electrical supply as shown in the illustrations. A separate circuit servicing only this appliance is required. Performance may be compromised if the electrical supply is less than 220 volts. The cooktop is supplied with a single phase and 3-phase convertible power inlet box.
Electrical Supply Specifications
Supply Type | Voltage | Frequency |
---|---|---|
Single Phase | 220–240 V AC | 50/60 Hz |
3-Phase | 380–415 V AC | 50 Hz |
