9WARNING
Before you plug in an electrical cord
or turn on power supply, make sure
all controls are in the OFF position.
For appliances equipped with a cord and
plug, do not cut or remove the ground
prong. It must be plugged into a matching
grounding type receptacle to avoid
electrical shock. If there is any doubt as
to whether the wall receptacle is properly
grounded, the customer should have it
checked by a qualified electrician.

Do not use an adapter.
If required by the National Electrical
Code (or Canadian Electrical Code), this
appliance must be installed on a separate
branch circuit.
The circuit breaker should have a contact
separation of at least 3 mm on all poles.
Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified
technician. Installation, electrical
connections and grounding must comply
with all applicable codes.
Before installing, turn power OFF at the
service panel. Lock service panel to
prevent power from being turned ON
accidentally.
Installer – show the owner the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
Gas Safety
Install a gas shutoff valve near the
appliance. It must be easily accessible in
an emergency.
Leak testing must be conducted by the
installer according to the instructions in
this manual.
The appliance and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing at pressures in excess of ½ psi
(3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less
than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
The minimum supply pressure must be 1"
water column above the manifold
pressure printed on the rating label.
The maximum supply pressure must not
exceed 14.0 inches water column
(34.9 Millibars).
A metal flex line or fixed metal pipe shall
be used to connect gas to the appliance.
If a metal gas line cannot be used,

en-us Before you begin
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface units, cabinet
storage space located above the surface
units should be avoided. If cabinet storage
is to be provided, the risk can be reduced
by installing a hood that projects
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches
(127 mm) beyond the bottom of the cabinet.
Verify that cabinets above the cooktop are a
maximum of 13" (330 mm) deep.
When installing a cooktop over a single
oven, be sure to follow both the oven’s and
cooktop’s installation manuals.
Ventilation Recommendations
We strongly recommend the installation of a
ventilation hood above this appliance. The
hood must be installed according to
instructions furnished with the hood.
9CAUTION
The appliance should not be installed
with a ventilation system that blows air
downward toward the burners. This
type of ventilation system may cause
ignition and combustion problems with
the gas cooking appliance resulting in
personal injury or unintended
operation.

en-us Installation Procedure
Installation Procedure
InstallationProcedure Prepare Installation Space
Prepare Install ati on Sp a c e 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.
Create the cut-out in the countertop for one or several
Vario appliances according to the installation diagram.
The angle of the cut surface to the countertop must be
90°.
After creating cut-out, remove shavings. Seal cut
surfaces in a heat-resistant manner.
Some solid surface countertops require special
installations. For example, heat reflective tape and
rounded corners may be necessary. Contact the
countertop manufacturer for instructions specific to your
countertop.
Observe minimum distance between appliance underside
and furniture parts of 3/8" (10 mm).
To improve flame stability, we recommend installing an
intermediate floor underneath the appliance in the
installation cabinet.
When installing multiple Vario appliances: Take into account
spacerequirement for VV 200 connection strip between
the appliances.Appliances can also be installed in
individual cut-outs, bearingin mind a minimum distance
between the appliances of 19/16" (40 mm).
Install Appliance
9WARNING
Before you plug in an electrical cord or turn on
power supply, make sure all controls are in the OFF
position.
1. Secure the appliance cover VD 200 020 (available
separately as special accessories) before fitting on
the appliance (see installation instructions
VD 200 020).
2. Insert appliance evenly into the cutout. Push it firmly
into the cutout from above.
Note: The appliance must be firmly fixed in the cutout
and must not be able to move around (e.g. during
cleaning). If the width of the cutout is at the upper
tolerance limit, fasten the ledges at the sides in the
cutout if necessary.
