It is the responsibility of the owner and
the installer to determine if additional
requirements and/or standards apply to
specific installations.
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.
DO NOT install refrigerators,
dishwashers, ovens (without ventilation),
or washing machines below the cooktop.
Note: We strongly recommend the
installation of a ventilation system with
this appliance.
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
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.

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
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).

en-us Prepare Installation Space
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.
Drilled Hole for Control Knob
Possible types of installation:
▯Installation in the front of the base cabinet
▯Installation in the countertop next to the appliance
▯Installation in the countertop in front of the appliance
Note: Follow the installation instructions provided for the
control knobs.
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:
▯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.

Installation Procedure en-us
▯If the minimum clearance of 25/32 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.
Mounting Control Knobs
Note: Follow the installation instructions provided for the
control knobs.
1. Depending on the distance between the control
knobs, it may be necessary to break off the retaining
plate at the perforation. Hold the retaining plate in
place against the back of the control panel or the
bottom of the countertop, or secure it with the
enclosed screws.
2. When installing a single control knob or when the
retaining plate has been broken at the perforation, use
2 screws to hold each individual retaining plate in
place to prevent it from rotating (C).
For stone countertops, use temperature-resistant two-
component adhesive (for metal to stone) to adhere the
retaining plate.
3. Remove the protective film on the back of the
illuminated ring (A).

en-us Installation Procedure
4. Insert the control knob into the drilled hole (B) and
screw the nut on the back with the enclosed
installation aid (D).
5. Connect all of the control knobs with the enclosed
shorter cables. The plugs must snap into the sockets
(E).
Note: The two cable connectors on the control knob
are identical.
6. Connect the longer cable to the control cable for
connection to the appliance. The plug must snap into
the socket (F).
Note: The appliance can be connected to any control
knob.
7. After installing, check that all plug connections fit
correctly.
8. After installing all the cables, secure them to the
retaining plate by bending the tab down (E).
Installing the heat shield
9CAUTION
Sharp edges. Use protective gloves when installing
the plate.
For safety reasons, the heat shield must be properly
installed when closed cabinets are used. 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 bottom of the burner box.
After unpacking the cooktop, unscrew the heat shield.
