Planning notes
Depending on the type of installation
(surface-mounted or flush-mounted),
the specific definition of the cut-out
must be observed.
When using the appliance cover
VA 440 or adjustment strip VA450
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.
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, 3 ³⁄₁₆" for surface-
mount or 3 ⁵⁄₁₆" for flush-mount.
Intermediate shelf is required.
Appliance can be snapped into the
countertop from above.
Please read additional planning notes
on combinations with Vario 400 series
cooktops on pages 82 – 87.
Please read the installation details
regarding air ducting on page 121.
