for surface installation
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 surfaces 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. lb)
It is possible to fit the appliance into a worktop such that it is flush with
the worktop surface.
The appliance can be installed in the following temperature- and water-
resistant worktops:
- Granite worktops
- Plastic worktops (e.g. Coriano)
- 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: All 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 suitable cleaning agent (follow the instructions from
the silicone manufacturer).
Combining multiple Vario appliances (Fig. 1c)
The connecting strip VA 420 000/010 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 VA 420 000/010).
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.
Hole for the control knob
Possible installation types:
- At the front of the floor cabinet
- In the worktop in front of the appliance
Note: Follow the installation instructions provided for the control
knobs.
Fitting the control knobs (Fig. 2) 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.
-
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.
-
Remove the protective film on the back of the illuminated ring.
-
Push the control knob into the hole, and use the installation tool provided to tighten the nut at the rear.
-
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. -
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. -
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)
-
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.
-
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. -
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)
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.
Gas connection
The supply connection point shall be accessible with the appliance installed.
Using the RV 1/2 (for appliance side) connection elbow provided, connect the
appliance with the associated gasket to a fixed connection pipe. For natural
gas the regulator must be connected.
If using a flexible connection
This appliance is approved for connection by a CLASS B hose. Connection is in
compliance with AS/NZS 5601.1
There are two ways to carry out the connection to the main gas line:
- A: The hotplate can be connected with rigid pipe.
- B: Flexible Hose: If installing with a hose assembly, install with a hose assembly that complies with AS/NZS 1869, 10 mm ID, class Bor D, no more than 1.2 m long and in accordance with AS/NZS 5601.1. Ensure that the hose does not contact the hot surfaces of the hotplate, oven, dishwasher or any other appliance that may be installed underneath or next to the hotplate. The hose should not be subjected to abrasion, kinking or permanent deformation and should be inspected along its entire length with the cooktop in the installed position. Unions compatible with the hose fittings must be used and all connections tested for gas leaks.
Before leaving – check all connections for gas leaks with soap and water. DO NOT use a naked flame for detecting leaks. Ignite all burners both individually and concurrently to ensure correct operation of gas valves, burners and ignition. Turn gas taps to low position and observe stability of the flame for each burner individually and all together. Achere the duplicate data plate to an accessible location near to the cook top. When satisfied with the cook top, please instruct the user on the correct method of operation. In case the appliance fails to operate correctly after all checks have been carried out, refer to the authorised service provider in your area.
