¡ Measuring tape
¡ Cross head screwdriver
¡ Drill with bit 1/4" (6mm)
¡ Jigsaw
Note:Additional materials may be necessary for installation in solid surface countertops. Contact the countertop
manufacturer.
2.3 Cabinet requirements
Ensure that the cabinetry at the installation location meets
the requirements for a safe installation.
Ensure that the countertop into which the cooktop is to be
installed meets these requirements for a safe installation.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of ignition of surrounding combustible
materials, install at least 2" (51mm) from both sidewalls
and the rear wall.
¡ The countertop must be level and horizontal.
¡ The stability of the countertop must be maintained after
the cut-out has been made.
¡ Solid surface countertops often require special installa-
tions. For example, heat-reflective tape and rounded
corners may be necessary.
¡ Contact the countertop manufacturer for instructions
specific to your countertop.
Prepare installation space
3 Prepare installation space
Prepare installation space
Create the cutout in the countertop according to the instructions.
General countertop requirements:
¡ The angle of the cut surface to the countertop must be
90°.
¡ With multi-layered countertops, secure strips laterally in
the cutout if necessary.
¡ After creating the cutout, remove all shavings.
¡ Seal the cut surfaces in a heat- and water-resistant
manner.
¡ Observe the minimum distance between device under-
side and cabinet surfaces of ⅜" (10mm).
¡ The countertop into which the cooktop is installed must
be heat-resistant up to 140°F (90°C).
¡ The countertop into which the cooktop is installed must
be at least ¹³/₁₆" (20mm) thick.
¡ The distance from the top of the cooktop to the bottom
of cabinets above must be a minimum of
A=30" (762mm).

¡ If the thickness of the countertop into which the cooktop
is installed does not comply with the specifications, reinforce the worktop using a fire- and water-resistant material until it reaches the minimum thickness. Otherwise,
sufficient stability cannot be assured.
¡ The countertop into which the cooktop is installed
should withstand loads of approx. 133lbs (60kg).
¡ Confirm the cooktop is level only after it has been in-
stalled.
3.1 Flush mounting
The cooktop can be mounted flush into the countertop.
Notes
¡ Any cutout work on the countertop must be performed
in a workshop according to the installation diagram.
¡ The cutout edge is visible on the surface after installa-
tion. Ensure that the cutout is made cleanly and precisely.
¡ Clean and degrease the cutout edges with a suitable
cleaning agent; follow the silicone manufacturer's processing instructions.
Countertop material guide for flush mounting
Refer to the following chart to see if flush mounting is possible. All countertop materials must be temperature- and
water-resistant.

and the kitchen wall, and between the surface of the
countertop and the upper area of the drawer.
¡ If the minimum clearance of 13/16" (20mm) is not pro-
vided at the rear of the cabinet, you must create an
opening on the underside.
¡ If the inside of the cabinet is no wider than
29½" (750mm), make cutouts in the side panels.
¡ An opening at the top to the rear of the cabinet.

Installation procedure en-us
3.7 Combining several Vario appliances
1. If you want to combine several Vario appliances, the
connecting strip VA420000/001/010/011 is required.
You can purchase it separately as a special accessory.
Consider additional space requirement for the connecting strip between the appliances when making the
cutout. Refer to the Installation Instructions of
VA420000/001/010/011.
The appliances can also be installed in individual
cutouts. Ensure a minimum distance of 2" (51 mm) between the appliances.
2. When combining appliances with appliance cover and
appliances without appliance cover, you can use the appliance extensions VA450110/401/600/800/900 to balance out dimension differences, if required.
4.1 Installing the heat shield
For safety reasons, the heat shield must be properly installed when closed cabinets are used. This prevents components from overheating as a result of the recirculation of
hot air from the cooktop. The heat shield is the same width
as the cooktop.
CAUTION
Sharp edges.
▶ Use protective gloves when installing the heat shield.
Requirement:You have unpacked the cooktop.
▶ For shipping, the heat shield is screwed to the bottom of
the cooktop. Unscrew the fastening screw on heat
shield.
a The heat shield will be able to rotate freely.
