Planning notes
Depending on the type of installation —
surface- or flush-mounted, with or
without cover — the specific location
of the cut-out and the control knob
positions may vary.
The horizontal positioning of the knobs
may be aligned with the specific areas.
The 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).
If installing adjustment strip VA 450
take into account the additional space
required for the depth.
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
VA 420 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 ¾" for flush-mount.
Panel thickness ⅝" – 1".
A combination with VL 414 downdraft
is not recommended due to
insufficient air extraction from the
center zone.
Appliance can be snapped into the
countertop from above.
Appliance weight: approx. 46 lbs.
Please read additional planning notes
on pages 88 – 93.
Please read the installation details
regarding air ducting on page 127.
