Electric Safety
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.
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.

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).

Related Equipment Safety
The appliance should only be used if
installed by a qualified technician in
accordance with these installation
instructions. The manufacturer is not
responsible for any damage resulting
from incorrect installation.
Remove all tape and packaging before
using the appliance. Destroy the
packaging after unpacking the appliance.
Never allow children to play with
packaging material.
Never modify or alter the construction of
the appliance. For example, do not
remove leveling legs, panels, wire covers
or anti-tip brackets/screws.
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.

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.

Countertop Requirements
9WARNING
To reduce the risk of ignition of surrounding
combustible materials, install at least 12" (300 mm)
from both sidewalls and at least 2" (50 mm) from
the rear wall.
The countertop must be level and horizontal. The stability
of the countertop must be maintained after the cut-out
has been made.
Solid surface countertops often require special
installations. For example, heat-reflective tape and
rounded corners may be necessary. Contact the
countertop manufacturer for instructions specific to your
countertop.
Technical Data
Prepare Installation Space
PrepareInstallationSpace 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.
Produce the cut-out in the countertop for one or more
Vario appliances as shown in the installation sketch. The
angle between the cut surface and the countertop must
be 90°.
The cut edges at the sides must be flat to ensure a good
fit of the retaining springs on the appliance. In laminated
worktops, it may be necessary to fit strips at the sides of
the cut-out.
Remove shavings after cutting. Seal cut surfaces for
resistance to heat and so they are watertight.
Pay attention to a minimum gap of 3/8“ (10 mm) from the
underside of the appliance to kitchen units.
Use suitable base constructions to ensure load-carrying
capacity and stability, especially in the case of thin
countertops. Pay attention to the weight of the appliance,
including any payload. Reinforcement material used must
be resistant to heat and moisture.
Note: Wait until the appliance has been installed in the
installation opening before checking that it is level.

en-us Prepare Installation Space
Flush mounting: Flush mounting into a countertop is
possible.
Flush installation: The appliance can be installed in the
following temperature- and water-resistant countertops:
▯Stone countertops
▯Plastic countertops (such as Corian®)
▯Solid wood countertops: Only in consultation with the
manufacturer of the countertop (seal cut-out edges)
▯Installation in other countertops only in consultation
with the manufacturer of the countertop.
Installation in countertops made of particleboard is not
possible.
Note: Any cut-out work on the countertop must be
performed in a workshop according to the installation
diagram. The cut-out must be made cleanly and precisely
since the cut-out edge is visible on the surface. Clean
and degrease the cut-out edges with a suitable cleaning
agent (bear in mind silicone manufacturer's processing
instructions).
Combining several Vario devices: The connecting strip VA
420 000/001/010/011 is required for the combination of
several Vario appliances. This is available separately as a
special accessory. Consider additional space
requirement for the connecting strip between the
appliances when making the cut-out (see installation
instructions VA 420 000/001/010/011).
Appliances can also be installed in individual cut-outs,
bearing in mind a minimum distance between the devices
of 2" (51 mm).
When combining several appliances with or without
appliance cover, you can use the appliance extensions
VA 450 110/-401/-600/-800/-900 (depending on
appliance width) to balance out dimension differences.
