Planning notes
Depending on the type of
installation — surface-/ or
flush-mounted, with or without
cover — the specific location of the
control knob positions may vary.
When using the appliance cover
VA 440 or adjustment strip VA 450
additional space for cut-out depth
needs to be considered.
In a combination of Vario cooktops
with at least one appliance cover,
the adjustment strip VA 450 is
required.
In a combination of several Vario
400 series cooktops a connection
strip must be used.
Depending on the type of
installation — surface-/ or
flush-mounted, with or without
cover — the respective VA 420
connecting strip must be used.
For flush installation the edge
height in the cut-out needs to be at
least ½" and for surface-mount ⅜" .
Ensure a continuous cut surface
of 90°.
The weight capacity and stability,
especially in case of thin
countertops, must be supported
using suitable substructures. Take
the appliance weight and additional
loads into account.
Flush installation is possible
in countertops made of stone,
synthetics or solid wood. Heat
resistance and watertight sealing
of the edges must be observed. For
other materials, please consult with
your countertop manufacturer.
The groove must be continuous and
even, so that uniform placing of the
appliance on the gasket is ensured.
Do not use discontinuous lining.
The joint width may vary due to size
tolerances of the combinations and
of the countertop cut-out.
If installing several Vario products
in individual cut-outs allow for a
minimum distance of 2" between
the cooktops.
Operates with magnetic (induction)
iron pots and pans only. For an
optimal heat distribution, the use
of sandwich bottom cookware is
recommended.
Immersion depth 2 ⅝" – 2 ¾"
depending on type of installation.
Built-in control panel can be
integrated in the bottom cabinet at
drawer level.
Front panel thickness ⅝" – 1".
The adjacent drawing “Installation
of the control knobs” must be
observed if the panel is more than
1" thick (there must be a recess at
the rear for proper control module
installation).
Appliance clicks into place when
inserted into the countertop from
above.
Please read additional planning
notes on pages 72 – 79.
