Pay attention to the data on the rating plate and connect the PE conductor. Connect the connecting cable to the mains. The appliance can be connected with an earthing-pin plug or it can be connected permanently.

Shock hazard protection from below must be ensured after installation, e.g. by the installation of an intermediate shelf that can only be removed using tools.

If all poles of the appliances cannot be isolated from the mains by removing an accessible plug (of a permanent connecting lead), an isolating device with a contact gap of at least 3mm must be installed (e.g. domestic fuse).

Damages caused by failure to observe these installation instructions cannot be recognised.

There should be a distance of at least 20 mm between the edge of the appliance and combustible walls or furniture items.

The distance between the intermediate shelf and the worktop in which the range is recessed must be at least 70 ~mm .

There should be a distance of at least 20mm from the bottom edge of the housing trough and the next combustible item of furniture.

If installed at an offset above a base cupboard or if several appliances from the Vario series are installed adjacently, the housing can lie on the side walls of the cupboard.

Note: please note that a distance of 10mm from the cupboard side walls must be observed for safety reasons.

This appliance may be installed in kitchen combinations made of wood or similar combustible materials without taking additional measures.

6.3 Installation and removal

Installation

• Produce the recess for one or several Vario appliance(s) in your worktop. Proceed as indicated on the installation sketch and the dimension table. The dimension table contains details of the space requirement for the trim between the appliances.

Important: the angle between the cut surface and the worktop must amount to 90^ (Fig. 8).

• Mark the centre of the recess exactly. Secure the securing rails on the font and rear edges of the recess. Make sure that the lugs of the securing rails lie on the worktop and that the centre marking of the securing rails is precisely flush with the centre marking on the worktop (Fig. 9).

Secure the cover on the appliance before installation. See assembly instructions VD 201-010.

• Lower the appliance into the worktop. Make sure that the engaging lugs on the appliance lie exactly on the clamping springs. Press the appliance firmly into the worktop. The engaging lugs on the appliance "snap" into the clamping springs in the securing rails (Fig. 10).

Note: When installing the appliance in granite or marble worktops, have the holes produced by a specialist or stick on the securing rails with a temperature-resistant 2-component adhesive (metal on stone).

Several appliances can also be installed in individual recesses, as long as a minimum clearance of 40mm is kept to between the appliances.

Removal

• Push out the appliance from below and in the upward direction. Do not attempt to remove the appliance from above! This will involve a risk of breaking it!
