Environmental protection
The sections below list a number of energy-saving tips and provide information on disposing of your appliance.
Saving energy C hoose a burner of roughly the same size as your
pan. Place the cookware in the middle. Use small saucepans for small quantities. Using a
large saucepan with little in it consumes a lot of energy. Always place suitable lids on saucepans. C ooking without a lid consumes significantly more energy. Use a glass lid so that you can see into the pan without having to lift the lid. C ook with only a little water. This will save energy and preserve the vitamins and minerals in vegetables. S witch to a lower heat setting in good time. This will save energy.
Environmentally-friendly disposal
Dispose of packaging in an environmentally-friendly Manner.
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2012/19/EU concerning used electrical and electronic appliances (waste electrical and electronic equipment WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the EU.

Remove shavings after cutting. Seal cut surfaces for resistance to heat and so they are watertight. Pay attention to a minimum gap of 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 worktops. 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. Installation flush with surrounding surfaces (Fig. 1b) It is possible to fit the appliance into a worktop such that it is flush with the worktop surface. The appliance can be installed in the following temperature- and water-resistant worktops: Granite worktops Plastic worktops (e.g. Corian®) Solid wood worktops: Only on agreement with the worktop
manufacturer (seal the cut-out edges) For other worktop materials, contact the worktop
manufacturer about their use. The appliance cannot be installed in compressed-wood worktops. Note: All cut-outs in the worktop are to be carried out in a specialist workshop in accordance with the installation diagram. Each cut-out must be neat and precise as the cut edge is visible on the surface. Clean and degrease the cut-out edges with a suitable cleaning agent (follow the instructions from the silicone manufacturer).
Combining multiple Vario appliances (Fig.1c) The connecting strip VA420004/010 is required in order to combine multiple Vario appliances. This can be ordered separately as an optional accessory. When making the cut-out, allow extra space for the connecting strip between the appliances (see installation instructions VA420004/010). Appliances can also be fitted in their own individual cut-outs as long as at least 50 mm of material is left between the cut-outs.
Combination with appliance cover (Fig.1d) The appliance cover VA440010 is available separately as an optional accessory. Take the additional space required by the appliance cover into consideration when making the cut-out. Hole for the control knob Possible installation types:
At the front of the floor cabinet In the worktop next to the appliance In the worktop in front of the appliance Note: Follow the installation instructions provided for the control knobs.
Fitting the control knobs (Fig.2)
Note: Follow the installation instructions provided for the control knobs. 1. Depending on the distance between the control knobs, it may
be necessary to break off the retaining plate at the perforation. Hold the retaining plate in place against the rear of the control panel/ underside of the worktop or secure it in place with the screws provided. 2. When fitting an individual control knob or if the retaining plate has been broken off at the perforation, use two screws to hold each retaining plate in place and prevent it from rotating. For stone worktops, use temperature-resistant twocomponent adhesive (for metal to stone) to adhere the retaining plate. 3. Remove the protective film on the back of the illuminated ring. 4. Push the control knob into the hole, and use the installation tool provided to tighten the nut at the rear. 5. Use the short cables provided to connect all the control knobs. The male connectors must snap into place in the female connectors. Note: The two female cable connectors on the control knob are identical. 6. Attach the long cable to one of the control knobs to connect it to the appliance. The male connector must snap into place in the female connector. Note: The appliance can be connected to any control knob. 7. After fitting, check that all plug-in connections are seated correctly. 8. After fitting all the cables, secure them to the retaining plate by turning the tab down.
Installing the appliance (Fig.3a)
1. Insert the end of the connection cable for the control knob into the female connector on the underside of the appliance. The male connector must snap into place.
2. Insert the appliance evenly into the cut-out. Push it down firmly into the cut-out. Note: The appliance must sit fast in the cut-out and must not be able to move around (e.g. during cleaning). If the width of the cut-out is at the upper tolerance limit, secure batten to the sides of the cut-out if necessary.
3. Connect the appliance to the power and gas supply and test for correct functioning. There might be an air pocket in the gas supply line if the appliance switches off. Turn control knobs off and switch on again. Repeat until burner ignites.
Only for installation flush with surrounding surfaces (Fig.3b)
Note: Make sure that everything is working correctly before grouting. Grout the surrounding gap with a suitable temperature-resistant silicone adhesive (e.g. OTTOSEAL® S 70). Smooth the seal joint with a smoother recommended by the manufacturer. Follow the instructions for the silicone adhesive. Do not use the appliance until the silicone adhesive is completely dry (at least 24 hours, depending on the room temperature). Caution! Using unsuitable silicone adhesive on natural stone work surfaces may cause permanent discolouration.
Gas connection (Fig. 4)
The gas connection must be located in a position where the stop tap is accessible. According to the Gas Safety Ordinance of Hong Kong, any gas installation works including the installation of appliances and connection tubing, must be undertaken by registered gas installers who are registered for that appropriate classes and be employed by registered gas contractors. Use approved gas tubing bearing EMSD approval marking (example: EMSD APPROVAL GTXXXX) for connection to appliances or other appropriate methods accepted by EMSD. Using R½” (for appliance side) connection elbows provided, connect the appliance to the gas tubing. The gas tubing must be routed so that it does not come into contact with moving parts of the kitchen unit (e.g. drawers).
Electrical connection
Check that the appliance has the same voltage and frequency as the electrical installation system. The hob is delivered with a mains cable, with or without plug, depending on model. Only connect the appliance to sockets which have been fitted and earthed according to regulations. The appliance corresponds to type Y: the mains connection cable must only be replaced by the after-sales service. Check the cable type and minimum cross section.
