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 ½" 

and for surface-mount ⅜". 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 continuous and 

even, so that uniform placing of the 

appliance on the gasket is ensured. 

Do not use discontinuous 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" between the cooktops.

Operates with magnetic (induction) 

iron pots and pans only. For an optimal 

heat distribution, the use of sandwich 

bottom cookware is recommended.

Immersion depth 2 ⅝" – 2 ¾" 

depending on type of installation.

Built-in control panel can be integrated 

in the bottom cabinet at drawer level.

Front panel thickness ⅝" – 1".

The adjacent drawing “Installation of 

the control knobs” must be observed 

if the panel is more than 1" thick (there 

must be a recess at the rear for proper 

control module installation).

Appliance clicks into place when 

inserted into the countertop from 

above.

Please read additional planning notes 

on pages 82 – 87.
