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

The 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 and so they are watertight.
Pay attention to a minimum gap of 3/8" (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 countertops. 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.
