Planning notes

Depending on the type of installation 

(surface-mounted or flush-mounted), 

the specific definition of the cut-out 

must be observed.

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 ½" 

and for surface-mount ⅜". Ensure a 

continuous cut surface of 90°.

The weight capacity and stability, 

especially in case of thin counter tops, 

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 continuous and 

even, so that uniform placing of the 

appliance on the gasket is ensured. 

Do not use discontinuous lining.

Operates with magnetic (induction) 

iron pots and pans only. For an optimal 

heat distribution, the use of sandwich 

bottom cookware is recommended.

Immersion depth depending on 

installation situation, 3 ³⁄₁₆" for surface-

 

mount or 3 ⁵⁄₁₆" for flush-mount.

Intermediate shelf is required.

Appliance can be snapped into the 

countertop from above.

Please read additional planning notes 

on combinations with Vario 400 series 

cooktops on pages 82 – 87.

Please read the installation details 

regarding air ducting on page 121.
