Gaggenau VL 414, Installation Instructions Manual

Page: 9 / 44

Preparing the cabinet (Fig. 1a)
The kitchen unit must be heat-resistant to at least 90? (about
190°F). The stability of the unit must be maintained after
producing the cut-out.
Produce the cut-out in the worktop for one or more Vario
appliances as shown in the installation sketch. The angle
between the cut surface and the worktop 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 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 worktops.
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.
Flush installation (Figure 1b)
Flush installation in a worktop is possible.
The appliance can be installed in the following temperature-
resistant and waterproof worktops:
■
Stone worktops
■
Worktops made of plastics (e.g. Corian
®
)
■
Solid wood worktops: Only by arrangement the with worktop
manufacturer (seal recess edges)
■
For other materials, coordinate with the worktop manufacturer
with regard to use.
Installation in laminated wood worktops is not possible.
Note: All recessing work on the worktop must be performed in a
specialist workshop on the basis of the installation sketch. The
recess must be produced neatly and precisely because the cut
edge is visible on the surface. Clean and degrease the recess
edges with a suitable cleaning agent (observe the silicone
manufacturer's processing notes).
Fitting several Vario appliances (Fig. 1c)
You can order the connecting strip VA 420 000/001/010/011
as a special accessory to combine several Vario appliances.
Allow for the additional space required for the connecting strip
when producing the cut-out (see installation instructions
VA 420 000/001/010/011).
Appliances can also be fitted in individual recesses, if a
minimum ridge width of 50 mm between the recesses is
observed.
To enable combination of appliances with and without an
appliance cover, dimension differences can be balanced out by
the extension VA 450 110/-400/-600/-800/-900 (depending on
appliance width).
Holes for the control knob (fig. 2a + 2b)
The built-in control panel can be integrated into the lower
cabinet at drawer height. Panel thickness: 16-26 mm
1.
In accordance with the diagram, make holes of 35 mm
diameter in the front of the lower cabinet for securing the
control knob. For precise positioning of the drill holes, use the
drill template provided.
2.
If the front panel thickness is greater than 26 mm: Mill out the
reverse of the front panel so that it is not more than 26 mm
thick. The dimensions of the area which is milled out should be
appropriate for the control panel.
Installing the control panel (Figures 3 + 4)
Note:
Only install appliance with the control panel of the
corresponding type.
1.
Remove the control knob's packaging and extract the
protective film from behind the illuminated ring.
2.
Hold the retaining plate from behind against the front panel.
Insert the control knob from the front into the hole and screw it
tight from behind using the nut. Secure the retaining plate
against twisting using the enclosed screws.
3.
Secure the control panel onto the retaining plate from below
using the screws provided.
Caution!
Damage to the appliance. Establish potential equalisation.
Before the control cable can be plugged into the control panel,
the earthing wire must be connected from the control unit on the
control panel.
Fitting the appliance
1.
Insert the control cable into the socket on the control panel.
The plug must snap into place
(Fig. 5)
.
2.
Secure the control unit to the side panel of the fitted unit.
Caution!
Penetrating moisture may result in an electric shock. Do not
secure the control unit to the base of the fitted unit.
3.
Shorten the front cooktop according to the worktop
thickness
(Fig. 6).
Break off the plates from the pull linkage.
Note: Ensure that the cooktop is not shortened too much – the
clamping effect on the worktop must be secure.
Insert the appliance horizontally into the cut-out and align it.
Use the screws to tighten the cooktop in the inside of the
appliance
(Fig. 7).
Notes
■
Do not tighten the cooktop too much – ensure that the
circumferential sealing gap is equal the whole way round.
■
The rear cooktop swings out by itself.
■
The appliance must not be glued to the worktop using
silicone.
4.
Use an installation aid
(Fig. 8).
Insert the downdraft ventilation
horizontally into the cut-out and align it. Remove the locking
mechanism. Insert the installation aid at an angle into the
ventilation cut-out and align it vertically with the appliance.
Insert the appliance at an angle before the downdraft
ventilation and use the installation aid to press it into the cut-
out. Remove the installation aid. Secure the downdraft
ventilation as described above.
Notes
■
If the downdraft ventilation is combined with several Vario
appliances in the last or penultimate position, the enclosed
installation aid must be used.
■
The installation aid protects the edges of the appliance
against damage.
5.
Install the connecting pieces in the required position
(Fig. 9).
Notes
■
The flat duct can only be connected below induction
appliances.
■
Depending on the installation situation, the exhaust air can
be guided in three different directions.
■
Depending on the room conditions, the connecting piece
can be rotated by 180°.
