Answer:
Wolf Products
Most Wolf products do not use LED style lights as the main light source.
Wolf does not recommend using an LED bulb as a replacement for a conventional bulb.
- LED bulbs require a different voltage than what Wolf products provide to the light socket.
- Using an LED bulb when the product is not specifically designed for an LED may damage the bulb and/or unit.
- For units that allow different lighting levels, such as Wolf Ventilation hoods, an LED bulb may not work on all levels.
Any performance issues or damage resulting from the use of a part not recommended by Sub-Zero or Wolf will not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
