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 for an adjacent 15" Vario
cooktop and 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 counter tops,
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" in 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 depending on
installation situation, 2 ⅝" for surface-
mount or 2 ¼" for flush-mount.
Built-in control panel can be inte grated
in the bottom cabinet at drawer level.
Panel thickness ⅝" – 1".
The adjacent drawing “Installation of
the control knob” must be observed, if
the panel is more than 1" thick. There
must be a recess at the rear for proper
control module installation.
A combination with V 414 downdraft is
not recommended due to insufficient
air extraction from the center zone.
Appliance can be snapped into the
countertop from above.
Please read additional planning notes
on pages 82 – 87.
Please read the installation details
regarding air ducting on page 121.

When installating with appliance cover or adjustment strip, pay attention
to the deeper cut-out and the front and rear groove width.
