Planning notes
Depending on the type of installation
- surface-/ or flush-mounted, with or
without cover - the specific location of
the control knob positions may vary.
When using the appliance cover VA 440
or adjustment strip VA 450 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 1/2"
and for surface-mount 3/8". 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 continuos and
even, so that uniform placing of the
appliance on the gasket is ensured. Do
not use discontinuos lining.
The joint width may vary due to size
tolerances of the combinations and of
the countertop cut-out.
If installing several Vario products in
individual cut-outs allow for a minimum
distance of 2" inbetween the cooktops.
Air extraction operation in combination
with AR 400/401 remote/inline blower
or recirculation mode with AR 413.
Please refer to page xxx for
recommended configurations of
downdraft ventilations and remote fan
units and the needed ducting elements.
Maximum cooktop width between two
VL downdraft elements is 24".
If used next to gas cooktops, the air
deflector AA414010 is recommended to
ensure maximum performance of the
cooktop.
No duct connection pieces are
included, they must be ordered
separately. Either AD724040 transition
to 5" round duct to connect to bottom/
left/right side of of VL and AD724041
transition ifconnecting duct to left or
right side of VL downdraft.
When connecting 2 VL downdrafts,
2x 5" round ducts are required to
connect to one of the AR blowers.
Note: when connecting 2 VL downdrafts
with AR 401 740 remote blower, an Y-
adaptor is required (can be purchased
at local hardware store).
When connecting 3 or 4 VL downdrafts,
only AR400740 inline blower can be
used.
Please ensure when installing the
exhaust air ducting that no sharp bends
are caused and that the cross-section
of the ducting is not constricted in any
way. This can have an impact on the
blower performance.
Appliance can be snapped into the
countertop from above. Additional
fixing by clamps that are accessible
from the top, clamping range from 1
3/16" to 1 15/16".
