WARNING
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.

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.
