Installation Overview
Successful installation of the Wolf CG365T/S begins with accurate templating and extends through precise cutout fabrication and final placement. The appliance requires a cutout measuring 35.0 inches wide by 19.5 inches deep with 0.5-inch radius corners - note that this transitional model has a slightly wider cutout than the professional CG365P/S due to the glass control panel design. The overall cooktop dimensions of 36 inches wide by 21 inches deep provide minimal overhang around the perimeter, resting on the countertop via a precision-engineered mounting flange. This design means the countertop material must provide solid edge support around the entire cutout perimeter without gaps or unsupported spans. Fabricators should specify minimum 3cm material thickness for structural integrity and proper visual proportion, though reinforced 2cm installations are feasible with appropriate substrate support. The assembled unit weighs approximately 55-60 pounds, requiring robust mounting surface and even support distribution. Below the countertop surface, the cooktop extends approximately 4-5 inches and requires clearance for gas supply connections (3/4" ID line with 1/2" NPT female fitting) and 120VAC electrical service powering the LED-backlit control panel and automatic reignition system. When coordinating with cabinetmakers and appliance installers, ensure the cabinet cutout provides adequate ventilation per Wolf specifications - the five powerful burners generate substantial heat requiring proper airflow management. The all-glass control panel with brushed stainless knobs creates a high-visibility surface where any installation gaps or misalignment will be immediately apparent, making precision cutting and careful dry-fitting essential before final installation. Plan seam locations strategically, maintaining minimum 4-inch distance from cutout edges and avoiding the control panel area where color matching is critical.
CNC Cutting Notes
CNC programming for the Wolf CG365T/S demands precision to achieve the flawless fit expected with transitional styling and glass control surfaces. Configure your toolpath for a 35.0" x 19.5" opening with exact 0.5" radius corners - the transitional model's glass panel makes proper corner radii even more critical as stress points can telegraph through to visible cracking. For granite fabrication, select diamond blades matched to your specific stone hardness, maintaining steady feed rates between 60-100 inches per minute depending on material density and natural fissuring. Exotic granites like Fusion, Van Gogh, or Netuno Bordeaux may require reduced speeds to prevent fracturing along weak planes. With quartz engineered surfaces, reduce spindle RPM to the 3,500-4,500 range to minimize heat buildup that can scorch resin binders and create discolored cut edges - particularly problematic with light colors like Calacatta or Statuario patterns. Use a climb-cutting approach to minimize top-surface chipping, essential when working with materials where the cutout area will be visible before appliance installation. The 35-inch cutout width requires careful slab layout planning - standard slabs may necessitate seams in some configurations. Position seams perpendicular to the front edge and at minimum 4 inches from the cutout perimeter, using high-quality structural epoxy and precision alignment. During the cutting operation, provide continuous support for the center section through complete breakthrough - sudden release can propagate microcracks into the surrounding material that may not be immediately visible but can lead to later failures. For natural stone materials, carefully inspect for fissures, veining patterns, or mineral inclusions before finalizing template orientation on the slab. Orient the template to avoid positioning the cutout across major fissures or weak veining. Polish all cut edges to minimum 220-grit smoothness - while these edges will be concealed beneath the appliance flange, smooth surfaces ensure even pressure distribution and prevent point-loading that can cause stress cracks. For ultra-modern porcelain slab installations, use diamond blades specifically engineered for ultra-compact surfaces and reduce feed rates by 30-50% compared to natural stone cutting. Always conduct a thorough dry-fit verification before final installation, confirming corner radii match perfectly, the appliance seats completely flush, and the mounting flange makes uniform contact around the entire perimeter.
Material Compatibility
The Wolf CG365T/S cutout template is designed for universal compatibility with all premium countertop materials specified in contemporary kitchen design. Granite remains a perennial favorite, with 3cm thickness providing excellent structural support and natural heat resistance ideal for the powerful gas burners. The transitional styling pairs beautifully with both traditional granites like Absolute Black or Uba Tuba and contemporary patterns like White Fantasy or Super White. Quartz engineered surfaces have become the dominant choice in modern Wolf installations, offering consistent patterning, extensive color selection, and reliable performance characteristics. Premium brands including Caesarstone, Silestone, Cambria, and Hanstone handle the heat exposure well when properly fabricated at 3cm thickness. The transitional glass control panel aesthetically complements quartz patterns ranging from solid whites to dramatic veinings mimicking natural marble. Quartzite provides natural stone authenticity with superior durability - varieties like Taj Mahal, Fantasy Brown, or Macaubas create stunning visual impact while offering heat resistance exceeding traditional marble. The natural depth and movement in quartzite patterns enhance the sophisticated transitional styling. Porcelain slabs represent cutting-edge countertop technology, with manufacturers like Neolith, Dekton, and Lapitec offering exceptional heat resistance, scratch resistance, and ultra-thin profiles suitable for contemporary design. Porcelain's technical properties make it ideal for demanding cooktop applications, though fabrication requires specialized diamond tooling and expertise. Marble can be specified for aesthetic purposes but requires careful client education about maintenance - the heat exposure and potential oil/food contact around an active cooktop can cause etching and staining despite diligent sealing. If clients insist on marble, recommend honed finishes that disguise etching better than polished surfaces, and apply multiple coats of penetrating sealer around the cutout perimeter. Soapstone offers natural heat resistance and develops character through use, suitable for traditional or farmhouse-style kitchens. Avoid solid surface materials like Corian for this application - sustained heat from the 18,000 BTU burners exceeds most solid surface temperature ratings and can cause discoloration or deformation. Concrete countertops can accommodate this cooktop but require proper reinforcement around the cutout and heat-resistant sealing. Regardless of material selection, the installation must provide absolutely flat, level support across the entire mounting flange - any variation will stress the glass control panel and can affect both appearance and burner operation.
Where to Buy
The Wolf CG365T/S 36-inch transitional gas cooktop is available through authorized Wolf dealers, premium appliance retailers, and kitchen design showrooms nationwide. This popular transitional model is widely stocked by major appliance retailers including Abt Electronics, AJ Madison, Designer Appliances, Ferguson Bath & Kitchen Gallery locations, and regional luxury appliance specialists in metropolitan markets. For optimal purchasing experience and warranty coverage, buying through authorized Wolf dealers ensures access to trained staff who understand installation requirements, can coordinate delivery timing with fabrication schedules, and provide comprehensive manufacturer warranty support. Many upscale kitchen showrooms maintain working display units where homeowners can experience the LED-backlit glass control panel and dual-stacked burner performance firsthand - this tactile experience often helps clients appreciate the quality justifying the investment. When specifying the CG365T/S for client projects, verify the required fuel type - natural gas (model CG365T/S) versus liquid propane (model CG365T/S/LP) - as post-purchase conversion requires factory-authorized service technicians. Pricing typically ranges from $2,200-$2,900 depending on retailer, regional market, promotional timing, and fuel type. Professional fabricators benefit from developing relationships with local authorized Wolf dealers who can provide advance delivery notification, coordinate installation scheduling, and facilitate direct communication if specification questions arise during fabrication.
