Countertop Requirements

WARNING
To reduce the risk of ignition of surrounding combustible materials, install at least 2″ (51 mm) from both sidewalls and the rear wall.
The countertop must be level and horizontal. The stability of the countertop must be maintained after the cut-out has been made.
Solid surface countertops often require special installations. For example, heat-reflective tape and rounded corners may be necessary. Contact the countertop manufacturer for instructions specific to your countertop.

Prepare Installation Space

Prepare Installation SpaceThe kitchen unit must be heat-resistant to at least 200° F (90°C). The stability of the unit must be maintained after producing the cut-out.
Produce the cut-out in the countertop for one or more Vario appliances as shown in the installation sketch. The angle between the cut surface and the countertop 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 so they are watertight.
Pay attention to a minimum gap of 3/8“ (10 mm) from the underside of the appliance to the 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. The 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.

Cutting out countertop

Flush mounting: Flush mounting into a countertop is possible.

Flush installation: The appliance can be installed in the following temperature- and water-resistant countertops:

• 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 the silicone manufacturer’s processing instructions).

Combining several Vario devices: The connecting strip VA 420 000/010 is required for the combination of several Vario appliances. This is available separately as a special accessory. Consider additional space requirements for the connecting strip between the appliances when making the cut-out (see installation instructions VA 420 000/010). 

Appliances can also be installed in individual cut-outs, bearing in mind a minimum distance between the devices of 2″ (51 mm).
In combination with appliance cover: The appliance cover VA 440 010 can be ordered separately as an optional accessory. Take into account the additional space required for the appliance cover when making the cutout.
