Handling and operation

Handling is via control knobs with illuminated ring, with clear cooking zone and output level markings. Electronic control offers 12 output levels, and the two 1500 W zones can be used together as a complete surface or each half separately.

Safety functions

The appliance provides a safety shut-off, as well as pre-heat and residual heat indicators to signal the status of the cooking surface.

Planning notes and combination

• Depending on surface-mounted or flush-mounted installation, with or without an appliance cover, the specific location of the cut-out and knob positions may vary.
• When combining several Vario appliances of the 400 series, a connection strip VA 420 must be placed between the appliances, with the corresponding strip selected according to installation type.
• The bearing capacity and stability of the worktop, especially thin worktops, must be supported using suitable substructures, taking into account appliance weight and additional loads.
• If installing several appliances in individual cut-outs, allow for a division bar of minimum 50 mm between the individual cut-outs.
• A minimum lateral clearance of at least 100 mm from adjacent heat-sensitive furniture or from the wall must be observed.
• The appliance can be snapped into the worktop from above.

Flush installation guidance

• Installation is possible in worktops made of stone, synthetics or solid wood.
• Heat resistance and watertight sealing of the cut edges must be observed.
• The groove must be continuous and even to ensure uniform placing of the appliance on the gasket; discontinuous lining must not be used.
• The joint width may vary due to size tolerances of the combinations and of the worktop cut-out.
• For other worktop materials, consultation with the worktop manufacturer is required.

Cleaning

A cleaning brush is included as an accessory. Additional cleaning instructions are not stated in source.
