Handling and operation

• Control knobs with illuminated ring, cooking zone and output level markings.
• One-handed operation for ease of use.
• Full electronic control in 12 output levels for exact power level adjustment plus simmer function.
• Automatic fast ignition for quick burner start.
• Simmer function for cooking on a very low output level.

Safety features

• Electronic flame monitoring with automatic re-ignition.
• Residual heat indication.
• Safety shut-off.
• Rear panel and wall trims must be heat-resistant and consist of a non-flammable material.
• A minimum clearance of at least 150 mm from adjacent heat-sensitive furniture or contact surfaces must be observed or thermal insulation fitted.
• With a total connected load of more than 11 kW, local regulations concerning room ventilation, room size and combination of extraction or recirculation hoods must be observed.
• The minimum distance between the cooktop surface and a cabinet above, out of combustible material, needs to be 70 cm.

Planning notes

• Depending on the type of installation (surface-mounted or flush-mounted, with or without an appliance cover), the specific location of the cut-out and the knob positions may vary.
• If the panel is more than 23 mm thick, the drawing for installation of the control knob must be observed (there must be a recess at the rear).
• If combining several Vario appliances of the 400 series, a connection strip VA 420 must be placed between the appliances; select the corresponding connection strip depending on installation type.
• The bearing capacity and stability, in the case of thin worktops in particular, must be supported using suitable substructures, taking into account the appliance weight and additional loads.
• Additional instructions for flush installation: installation is possible in worktops made of stone, synthetics or solid wood; heat resistance and watertight sealing of the cut edges must be observed; for other materials consult the worktop manufacturer.
• The groove must be continuous and even so that uniform placing of the appliance on the gasket is ensured; do not use discontinuous lining.
• The joint width may vary due to size tolerances of the combinations and of the worktop cut-out.
• If installing several appliances in individual cut-outs allow for a division bar of minimum 50 mm between the individual cut-outs.
• Special nozzles can be ordered as spare parts.
• No intermediate shelf required.
• If operated next to the downdraft ventilation VL 414, the ventilation moulding AA 414 is recommended to ensure maximum performance of the cooktop.
• The minimum distance to a ventilation above is shown in the planning hints for the individual ventilation product.
