Planning notes
Depending on the type of installation —
surface- or flush-mounted — 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
cooking areas and zones.
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).
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 — 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 resistant and
watertight sealing of the edges must
be observed. For a suitable heat
resistant filler 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 flat bottom
cookware is recommended.
Immersion depth depending on
installation situation, 2 ⅝" for
surfacemount or 2 ¾" for flush-mount.
A combination with VL 414 downdraft
is not recommended due to
insufficient air extraction from the
center zone.
To insure that the appliance works
correctly, the cooktop must be
sufficiently ventilated either from the
rear or base of the cabinet.
Please see the installation instructions
for further detail.
Appliance can be snapped into the
countertop from above.
Appliance weight: approx. 46 lbs.
