Electric Safety
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.
9WARNING
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN A
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
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.
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.
Verify that cabinets above the cooktop are
a maximum of 13" (330 mm) deep.
Consult a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if doubt
exists as to whether the appliance
is properly grounded. DO NOT USE
AN EXTENSION CORD.

Cabinet Requirements
The distance from the top of the cooktop to the bottom of
cabinets above must be a minimum of A=30" (762 mm).
This distance can be reduced to A=24" (610 mm) when
the bottom of the wood or metal cabinet is protected by
not less than ¼" (6.35 mm) flame-retardant millboard
covered with not less than no. 28 gauge sheet metal,
0.015" (0.4 mm) stainless steel, 0.024" (0.6 mm)
aluminum or 0.020" (0.5 mm) copper.
Verify that the cabinets above the cooktop are a maximum
of B=13" (330 mm) deep.
Countertop Requirements
9WARNING
To reduce the risk of ignition of surrounding
combustible materials, install at least 2" (51 mm)
from both sidewalls and the rear wall.
The countertop must be level and horizontal. The stability
of the countertop must be maintained after the cut-out

Prepare Installation Space en-us
Prepare Installation Space
PrepareInstallationSpace Create the cut-out in the countertop according to the
installation diagram. The angle of the cut surface to the
countertop must be 90°.
The lateral cut-out edges must be flat in order to ensure
that the retaining springs are positioned properly on the
appliance. With multi-layered countertops, secure strips
laterally in the cut-out if necessary.
After creating cut-out, remove shavings. Seal cut
surfaces in a heat- and water-resistant manner.
Observe minimum distance between device underside
and cabinet surfaces of 3/8" (10 mm).
The worktop into which the cooktop is installed must be
heat-resistant up to 140° F (90 °C).
The worktop must be reinforced if it is less than 13/16 inch
(20 mm) thick.
If the thickness of the worktop into which the cooktop is
installed does not comply with the specifications,
reinforce the worktop using a fire- and water-resistant
material until it reaches the minimum thickness.
Otherwise, sufficient stability cannot be assured.
▯The worktop into which the cooktop is installed should
withstand loads of approx. 133 lbs (60 kg).
▯Confirm the cooktop is level only after it has been
installed.
Cutting out countertop
Combining several Vario appliances: Consider additional
space requirement for the connecting strip VV 200 when
making the cut-out. Appliances can also be installed in
individual cut-outs, if a minimum clearance of 1½"
(40 mm) between the appliances is observed.
Installation accessories
Use the accessories only as indicated. The manufacturer
assumes no liability for incorrect usage of the
accessories.
Ventilation
To guarantee that the appliance works correctly, the
cooktop MUST be sufficiently ventilated.
Since the ventilation in the lower section of the appliance
requires a sufficient supply of fresh air, the cabinet must
be designed accordingly. The following is required for
this:
VV 200 010 Stainless steel connection strip for
combining with other Vario 200
appliances
VV 200 020 Black connection strip for combining
with other Vario 200 appliances

en-us Installation Procedure
▯A minimum clearance between the rear of the
cupboard and the kitchen wall, and between the
surface of the worktop and the upper area of the
drawer.
▯An opening at the top to the rear of the cupboard.
▯If the minimum clearance of 13/16 inch (20 mm) is not
provided at the rear of the cupboard, you must create
an opening on the underside.
Note: If the appliance is installed in an island unit or
another installation that is not described here, you must
ensure that the cooktop is sufficiently ventilated.
Installation Procedure
InstallationProcedure 9CAUTION
Sharp edges. Use protective gloves when installing
the cooktop.
Note: The appliance is heavy. It is advisable to install it
with a second person.
Installing the heat shield
9CAUTION
Sharp edges. Use protective gloves when installing
the plate.
For safety reasons, the heat shield must be properly
installed. This prevents components from overheating as
a result of the recirculation of hot air from the cooktop.
The heat shield is the same width as the cooktop. For
shipping, it is screwed to the burner box.
After unpacking the cooktop, unscrew the heat shield.
