voltage, frequency and amperage ratings are listed on the
product rating plate.
Record the model and serial numbers before installing the
warming drawer. Both numbers are listed on the product
rating plate, located on the left front floor area of the inner
cabinet. To access the rating plate, the drawer must be
fully open. Refer to the illustration below.

•
The warming drawer must be installed with a Wolf
stainless steel or integrated drawer front. Make sure
you have the accessory drawer front called for in your
installation. Specific installation instructions are
included with the drawer front.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS REQUIRED
•
Minimum 3/4" (19) thick lumber for the solid platform
that supports the warming drawer—must be able to
support 200 lbs (90 kg).
•
•
•
•
•
Wood screws and hardware to install the platform.
•
•
For all installations, the warming drawer must be fully
enclosed, top and bottom.
Lumber for anti-tip block.
Power saw.
The warming drawer platform must be able to support
200 lbs (90 kg). The platform must be a minimum of 1"
(25) above the toe kick to allow for the warming drawer
trim which overlaps 5/8" (16) on all four sides.
Level.
Drill and 1/16" bit, 1/2" bit also for integrated drawer
front application.
•
•
Check with local utilities for electrical codes that apply
in your area. Local codes vary. Installation, electrical
connections and grounding must comply with applica-
ble codes. In the absence of local codes, the drawer
should be installed in accordance with National Electri-
cal Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1990 or latest edition.

Electrical Requirements
Refer to the illustrations showing combination installations
on pages 10–13. Also refer to installation instructions
provided with the other Wolf products.
The electrical supply should be located as shown in the
illustration for your specific installation on the following
pages. A separate circuit, servicing only this appliance is
required.
•
The warming drawer may be installed in combination
with a Wolf built-in oven and/or microwave oven.
Additional clearance between warming drawer and
oven openings may be required. To allow the warming
drawer trim and the oven trim to meet, a 7/8" (22)
platform may be used to separate the two openings.
This will act as the support platform for the oven and
the anti-tip device for the warming drawer. An anti-tip
block may be installed at the rear of the cabinet in
place of the platform. If the warming drawer is installed
above an oven, a 7/8" (22) platform is required to allow
for clearance of overlaps.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must follow all National Electrical
Code regulations. In addition, be aware of local codes and
ordinances when installing your service.
If two warming drawers are installed side by side, they can
operate from the same electrical outlet. A 30 amp circuit
breaker is required for this installation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When installed outdoors, a ground
fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required to reduce the risk
of electrical shock.
Electrical Requirements
•
The warming drawer may be installed below a Wolf
cooktop or sealed burner rangetop. Allow enough
room for gas and electrical connections for the
cooktop.

The E series 2" (51) thick drawer front with pro handle, in
30" (762) and 36" (914) widths, is designed to be installed
below a sealed burner rangetop or outdoor gas grill, so
the panel aligns properly with the front of the rangetop or
grill.
Keep in mind, overall dimensions for the warming drawer
remain the same, even though the drawer front may be
wider to match a Wolf 36" (914) wide oven, sealed burner
rangetop or outdoor grill.

Installation Options
STANDARD, RECESSED OR FLUSH INSET INSTALLATION
Mounting holes will need to be drilled in the back of the
drawer front panel. Holes should be drilled on site to
ensure proper fit and gaps are achieved. A drilling
template is provide with the integrated drawer front.
The warming drawer with E series drawer front can be
installed in a standard, recessed or flush inset application.
For a standard installation, the drawer collar and front
panel sit proud of the cabinet face frame. A recessed
installation requires the cabinetry be recessed by 3/16" (5)
so the collar is flush with the cabinet face frame but the
drawer front will sit proud. A flush inset installation
requires the drawer collar and front panel be recessed to
be flush with surrounding cabinetry. Refer to illustrations
on the following pages for minimum cabinet dimensions
for your specific installation.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be sure to finish the inside lip of the
opening and the front face of the platform and cleats.
These areas may be visible when the drawer is open.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be aware of the location of the
mounting holes on the warming drawer frame to make
sure screws used to attach the cleats do not interfere with
screw holes for mounting the warming drawer.
INSTALL RECESSED CLEATS AND PLATFORM
For a recessed or flush inset application, you will need to
install a recessed platform and cleats into the opening.
Proper recess of the platform and cleats is critical to the
function and esthetics of the warming drawer installation.
The depth of the platform may increase with the cabinet
depth. Be sure to rigidly mount the platform so that it
can support a minimum of 200 lbs (90 kg). Refer to the
illustrations below.

Anti-Tip Block
Install the Warming Drawer
INSTALL ANTI-TIP BLOCKING
Unpack the warming drawer on a flat surface. Remove all
packaging materials from inside the warming drawer. Do
not discard the package containing the two wood screws
needed for installation.
Install an anti-tip block against the rear cabinet wall. When
the warming drawer is installed below a built-in oven, you
may use a 7/8" (22) thick platform to allow the warming
drawer trim and the oven trim to meet. The platform will
act as an anti-tip device for the warming drawer.
Turn power off to the electrical outlet.
Slide the left corner of the warming drawer into the
opening. If the electrical outlet is installed inside the
opening, plug the power cord into the outlet. The excess
cord should be coiled behind or beside the unit. If the
outlet is located in an adjacent cabinet, thread the power
cord through the hole in the cabinet wall. Push the drawer
back into the opening until the trim meets the cabinet
front. Make sure the power cord does not get trapped
under the warming drawer.
An anti-tip block or platform must be installed to
prevent the warming drawer from tipping forward while
opened when loaded. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury and damage to the cabinet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not lift up on the handle to push
the drawer into place.
Open the warming drawer to its full extension. Drill pilot
holes in each side hole, located toward the front on each
side of the warming drawer. Install the wood screws
provided with the unit. Refer to the illustration below.
Turn power back on to the electrical outlet.
