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.
