  • An extraction hood into the open air. Minimum displacement Volume of extraction hood: 15 m/h per kW total output.

Caution!

This appliance is not connected to a flue. It must be connected and put into operation in accordance with the installation conditions. Do not connect the appliance to a flue gas outlet. All ventilation regulations must be observed.

The installation system must incorporate an all-pin Isolating switch with a contact opening of at least 3 mm, or the appliance should be connected to the mains via a safety plug. The plug must remain accessible after installation is complete.
Specifications on the rating plate showing voltage, type of gas and gas pressure must agree with the local mains connection Conditions.
Do not kink or trap the mains connection cable.
This appliance corresponds to appliance class 3 (for installation in a kitchen unit). It must be fitted according to the installation drawing. The wall behind the appliance must be made of non-flammable material.

Installation accessories

  • VA420004  Connection strip for combination with other Vario 400 appliances for flush installation
  • VA420010  Connection strip for combination with other Vario 400 appliances for surface installation
  • VA440010  Stainless steel appliance cover

Preparing the units (Fig. 1a)
The kitchen unit must be heat-resistant to at least 90°C (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 surtaces for resistance to heat and so they are watertight.

GAGGENAU-VG415315SG-Gas-Cooktop-14

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.
To improve flame stability, we recommend installing an intermediate floor underneath the appliance in the installation cabinet.

Installation flush with surrounding surfaces (Fig. 1b)
It is possible to fit the appliance into a worktop such that it is flush with the worktop surtace.
The appliance can be installed in the following temperature- and water- resistant worktops:

GAGGENAU-VG415315SG-Gas-Cooktop-3

  • Granite worktops
  • Plastic worktops (e.g. Corian®)
  • Solid wood worktops: Only on agreement with the worktop manufacturer (seal the cut-Out edges)
  • For other worktop materials, contact the worktop manufacturer about their use.

The appliance cannot be installed in compressed-wood worktops.

Note: AIl Cut-outs in the worktop are to be carried out in a specialist workshop in accordance with the installation diagram.Each cut-out must be neat and precise as the cut edge is visible on the surface. Clean and degrease the cut-out edges with a suitablę cleaning agent (follow the instructions from the silicone manutacturer).

Combining multiple Vario appliances (Fig. 1c)

GAGGENAU-VG415315SG-Gas-Cooktop-4

The connecting strip VA420004/010 is required in order to combine multiple Vario appliances. This can be ordered separately as an optional accessory. When making the cut-out, allow extra space for the connecting strip between the appliances (see installation instructions VA420004/010).

Appliances can also be fitted in their own individual cut-outs as long as at least 50 mm of material is left between the cut-outs.

Combination with appliance cover (Fig. 1d)

GAGGENAU-VG415315SG-Gas-Cooktop-5
The appliance cover VA440010 is available separately as an optional accessory. Take the additional space required by the appliance cover into consideration when making the cut-out.

Hole for the control knob
Possible installation types:

  • At the front of the floor cabinet
  • In the worktop next to the appliance
  • In the worktop in front of the appliance

Note: Follow the installation instructions provided for the control knobs.

Fitting the control knobs (Fig. 2)

GAGGENAU-VG415315SG-Gas-Cooktop-6

  1. Depending on the distance between the control knobs, it may be necessary to break off the retaining plate at the perforation. Hold the retaining plate in place against the rear of the control panel/ underside of the worktop or secure it in place with the screws provided.

  2. When fitting an individual control knob or if the retaining plate has been broken off at the perforation, use two screws to hold each retaining plate in place and prevent it from rotating.
    For stone worktops, use temperature-resistant two-component adhesive (for metal to stone) to adhere the retaining plate.

  3. Remove the protective film on the back of the illuminated ring.

  4. Push the control knob into the hole, and use the installation tool provided to tighten the nut at the rear.

  5. Use the short cables provided to connect all the control knobs.
    The male connectors must snap into place in the female connectors.
    Note: The two female cable connectors on the control knob are identical.

  6. Attach the long cable to one of the control knobs to connect it to the appliance. The male connector must snap into place in the female connector.
    Note: The appliance can be connected to any control knob.

  7. After fitting, check that all plug-in connections are seated correctly.
    After fitting all the cables, secure them to the retaining plate by turning the tab down.

Installing the appliance (Fig. 3a)

GAGGENAU-VG415315SG-Gas-Cooktop-7

  1. Insert the end of the connection cable for the control knob into the female connector on the underside of the appliance. The male connector must snap into place.

  2. Insert the appliance evenly into the cut-out. Push it down firmly into the cut-out.
    Note: The appliance must sit fast in the cut-out and must not be able to move around (e.g. during cleaning). If the width of the cut- out is at the upper tolerance limit, secure batten to the sides of the cut-out if necessary.

  3. Connect the appliance to the power and gas supply and test for correct functioning. There might be an air pocket in the gas supply line if the appliance switches off. Turn control knobs off and switch on again. Repeat until burner ignites.

Only for installation flush with surrounding surfaces (Fig. 3b)

GAGGENAU-VG415315SG-Gas-Cooktop-8

Note: Make sure that everything is working correctly before grouting.
Grout the surrounding gap with a suitable temperature-resistant silicone adhesive (e.g. OTTOSEAL® S 70). Smooth the seal joint with a smoother recommended by the manufacturer. Follow the instructions for the silicone adhesive. Do not use the appliance until the silicone adhesive is completely dry (at least 24 hours, depending on the room temperature).
Caution!
Using unsuitable silicone adhesive on natural stone work surfaces may cause permanent discolouration.
