Prepare Installation Space

The kitchen unit must be heat-resistant to at least 200° F (90°C). The stability of the unit must be maintained after producing the cut-out.

Produce the cut-out in the countertop for one or more Vario appliances as shown in the installation sketch. The angle between the cut surface and the countertop must be 90°.

The cut edges at the sides must be flat to ensure a good fit of the retaining springs on the appliance. In laminated worktops, it may be necessary to fit strips at the sides of the cut-out.

Remove shavings after cutting. Seal cut surfaces for resistance to heat and so they are watertight.

Pay attention to a minimum gap of 3/8“ (10 mm) from the underside of the appliance to kitchen units.

The worktop must be reinforced if it is less than 20 mm (¾”) thick when installed overlapping or less than

30 mm (1 3/16”) when installed flush. Otherwise, it is not stable enough. Reinforcement material used must be resistant to heat and moisture.

Notes

‒The worktop where the appliance is installed should be able to support a weight of approximately 60 kg.

‒The appliance levelling should only be checked after it is installed in the gap for the built-in unit.
