Installation Overview
Installing the Wolf CG365P/S demands meticulous attention to detail from initial templating through final placement. The appliance requires a cutout measuring exactly 34.5 inches wide by 19.5 inches deep with 0.5-inch corner radii. The overall cooktop dimensions of 36 inches wide by 21 inches deep create approximately 0.75 inches of overhang around the perimeter, which rests on the countertop surface via a precision-machined stainless steel mounting flange. This professional-grade appliance weighs approximately 55-60 pounds when fully assembled, requiring robust support across all mounting points and solid substrate below. Fabricators should specify minimum 3cm material thickness for structural integrity, though reinforced 2cm installations are possible with proper engineering. The cooktop extends approximately 4-5 inches below the countertop surface, requiring clearance for gas supply connections (3/4" ID line with 1/2" NPT fitting) and 120VAC electrical service for the illuminated control panel and automatic reignition system. When coordinating with appliance installers and cabinetmakers, ensure the cabinet opening provides adequate ventilation per Wolf's specifications - professional gas burners generate significant heat that must be properly managed. The stainless steel control panel and laser-etched graphics mean any installation gaps will be highly visible, making precision cutting and dry-fitting essential. Plan seam locations carefully, keeping them at least 4 inches from cutout edges and avoiding the high-visibility area in front of the controls where gaps or color mismatches would be immediately apparent.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC fabrication for the Wolf CG365P/S requires advanced toolpath programming to achieve the precision expected in luxury installations. Program your cutting path for a 34.5" x 19.5" opening with exact 0.5" radius corners - Wolf's tight manufacturing tolerances mean even small variations can prevent proper appliance seating. For granite materials, select diamond blades appropriate for your stone's specific hardness rating, maintaining consistent feed rates between 60-100 IPM based on density. Exotic materials like Fusion or Blue Bahia may require slower speeds to prevent fracturing. With engineered quartz, reduce spindle speeds to the 3,500-4,500 RPM range to prevent heat-induced resin degradation that creates discolored cut edges. Employ a climb-cutting strategy to minimize chip-out on the top surface - particularly critical with light-colored quartz where any damage is immediately visible. The 34.5-inch width often requires seam considerations in standard slab layouts. If seams are necessary, position them perpendicular to the front edge and at least 4 inches from the cutout perimeter, using structural epoxy and proper alignment techniques. During cutting, provide adequate support for the center section through the entire breakthrough process - sudden drops can propagate cracks into the surrounding material. For natural stone, carefully inspect for fissures, veining, or weak spots before finalizing template orientation. Polish all cutout edges to minimum 220 grit, ensuring smooth surfaces for even flange pressure distribution. With porcelain slabs, use diamond blades specifically rated for ultra-compact surfaces and reduce feed rates by 30-40% compared to natural stone. Always perform a complete dry-fit test before final installation, verifying that corner radii match, the appliance seats flush, and the mounting flange makes even contact around the entire perimeter.
Material Compatibility
The Wolf CG365P/S cutout template is engineered for compatibility with all premium countertop materials specified in high-end residential and commercial applications. Granite remains the traditional choice, with 3cm thickness providing ideal structural support and natural heat resistance for the powerful 18,000 BTU burners. Exotic granites like Blue Pearl, Ubatuba, or Costa Esmeralda complement the professional stainless steel styling beautifully. Quartz engineered surfaces have become increasingly popular in Wolf installations, offering consistent patterning and color availability year-round. Premium brands like Caesarstone, Silestone, Cambria, and Dekton handle the heat exposure well, though fabricators should verify each manufacturer's heat resistance specifications. Always use 3cm quartz for cooktop installations to ensure adequate strength and heat dissipation. Quartzite provides natural stone beauty with superior durability and heat resistance exceeding granite - varieties like Taj Mahal, Sea Pearl, or Macaubas White create stunning backdrops for professional cooking equipment. Porcelain slabs represent the cutting edge of countertop technology, with brands like Neolith and Dekton offering exceptional heat resistance, scratch resistance, and ultra-thin profile options, though cutting requires specialized diamond tooling and expertise. Marble can be used aesthetically but demands careful consideration - the heat and potential oil exposure around a professional cooktop can cause etching and staining even with diligent sealing. If clients insist on marble, recommend honed finishes that hide etching better than polished surfaces, and apply penetrating sealers around the cutout perimeter. Soapstone offers natural heat resistance and rustic charm suitable for traditional kitchen designs. Avoid solid surface materials like Corian for this application - the sustained high heat from professional burners exceeds most solid surface temperature ratings. Regardless of material selection, ensure absolutely flat, level support across the entire mounting flange - any deviation will stress the appliance body and can affect burner operation and control accuracy.
Where to Buy
