Planning notesDepending 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.Control knobs to be integrated in the base cabinet at drawer level.Panel�thickness�⅝"�–�1".The adjacent drawing “Installation of the control knob” must be observed, if the panel is more than 1" thick. There must be a recess at the rear for proper electronic knob installation.Plan for an electrical connection (the appliance is not operable without power supply).Air intake from above.No intermediate shelf required.The rear panel must consist of a non-flammable material. Wall trims must be resistant to heat.The minimum distance from the side of appliance edge to the wall or furnishing components must be at least 6".When used with VL 414 downdraft ventilation, the air deflector AA 414 is recommended to ensure maximum performance of the cooktop.Minimum distance between gas cooktop(s) and ventilation hood must be 30".Appliance can be snapped into the countertop from above.

Please read additional planning notes on pages 84 – 89.
