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.

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:

• 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)

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)

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.
