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.

Stone countertops . Plastic countertops ( such as Corian ® ) . Solid wood countertops: Only in consultation with the manufacturer of the countertop ( seal cut- out edges) . Installation in other countertops only in consultation with the manufacturer of the countertop. Installation in countertops made of particleboard is not possible. Note: Any cut- out work on the countertop must be performed in a workshop according to the installation diagram. The cut- out must be made cleanly and precisely since the cut- out edge is visible on the surface. Clean and degrease the cut- out edges with a suitable cleaning agent (bear in mind silicone manufacturer's processing instructions) . Combining several Vario devices: For combining several Vario appliances, the connecting strip VA 420 000/ 001/ 010/ 011 is available separately as an optional accessory. When creating the cut- out, bear in mind the additional space required between the appliances for the connecting strip ( see installation instructions VA 420 000/ 001/ 010/ 011) . Appliances can also be installed in individual cut- outs, bearing in mind a minimum distance between the devices of 2" ( 51 mm) . When combining several appliances with or without appliance cover, you can use the appliance extensions VA 450 110/ -400/- 600/ - 800/ - 900 (depending on appliance width) to balance out dimension differences. 2 According to the figure, create the drill holes O 1 Hole for control knobs The built-in control console can be integrated into the lower cabinet at drawer level. Panel thickness: 5/ 8" - 1" ( 16 - 26 mm) 3/ 8" ( 35 mm) for fixing in place the control knobs in the front side of the lower cabinet. A drilling template is included for precise positioning of the drill holes. If front panel thickness is greater than 1" ( 26 mm) : Mill out front panel on rear side to the point that the thickness doesn't exceed 1" ( 26 mm) . Adjust the measurements of the milled- out section to fit the holding plate.

Insert the control knobs in the holes from the front and screw them down from the rear with the nuts. Pay attention to correct assignment of the control knobs (see figure). 3 Evenly insert the unit in the cut-out. Press the unit firmly into the cut-out from above. Note: The unit must sit firmly in the cut-out and must not move (e.g. during cleaning). If necessary, secure strips at the sides in the cutout if the cut-out width is at the top tolerance limit. 13 4 Turn the control knobs and the gas valves to the zero position. Assemble the spindles between the control knobs and the gas valves. Slide the rear parts fully over the gas valve shafts. Fix the spindles in place with the locking screws. 5 Connect the appliance to the mains and gas and check that it is working. If the appliance switches off, there may be air in the gas pipe. turn the control knob to 0 and ignite again. Repeat the operation until the appliance ignites. 6 Flush installation only: it is imperative to test functioning before jointing! Joint the surrounding gap with a suitable, temperature-resistant silicone adhesive (such as OTTOSEAL® S 70). Smoothen the seal joint with smoothing agent recommended by the manufacturer.
