Installation and Planning Notes
Installation requirements vary based on whether the appliance is surface-mounted or flush-mounted. Specific cut-out locations and knob positions should be considered.
Control Knob Installation:
- For flush installation, a 50 mm diameter cut-out is required, with a minimum 35 mm clearance from edges. If the panel thickness exceeds 23 mm, a rear recess is necessary.
- For surface mounting, the appliance requires a niche with dimensions of 57 mm (height) x 568-570 mm (width) x 491-493 mm (depth).
Combining Appliances: When integrating multiple Vario appliances from the 400 series, a connection strip (VA 420) must be placed between them. Ensure the appropriate connection strip is used based on the installation type.
Worktop Considerations: For thin worktops, ensure adequate support using suitable substructures, considering the appliance's weight and additional loads. For flush mounting in stone, synthetic, or solid wood worktops, pay close attention to heat resistance and watertight sealing of cut edges. Consult the worktop manufacturer for other materials.

Connecting cable: 1.5 m, supplied without a plug.
Usage Notes: This appliance operates exclusively with magnetic (induction) iron pots and pans. For optimal heat distribution, sandwich-bottom cookware is recommended. The wok pan WP 400 001 is not compatible with this appliance. The appliance can be secured into the worktop from above. The appliance weighs approximately 17.2 kg.
Installation Groove: The installation groove must be continuous and even to ensure uniform placement of the appliance on the gasket. Discontinuous lining should be avoided. Joint widths may vary due to size tolerances of combinations and worktop cut-outs. If installing multiple appliances in individual cut-outs, a division bar of at least 50 mm must be maintained between them.
