A Air duct behind a cabinet or
built-in oven
In the cabinet’s back wall, plan a
recess of at least 45 mm in height from
the worktop’s bottom edge.
The minimum width is
• 300 mm for a 30 cm induction
cooktop
• 350 mm for a 40 cm induction
cooktop
• 550 mm for a Vario cooktop
or a 60 cm to 80 cm
induction cooktop
• 820 mm for a 90 cm
induction cooktop
To prevent the content of drawers
underneath the cooktop from heating
up, the use of an intermediate shelf
is required for glass ceramic cooktops.
Width of cut-out at least
• 100 mm for a 60 to 80 cm induction
cooktop
* does not apply to 90 cm cooktops
** min. 65 mm for cooktops
with frame as well as
VI 462/482/492 for surface mount-
ing and min. 70 mm for cooktops
without frame, for CX 482/492 with
frame as well as for VI 462/482/492
for flush mounting.

B Intake through the cabinet’s back
wall
Intermediate shelf
Applies to CI 26./27./28./29., CX 492/482, VI 414/422/462/482/492, VI 232/242/262 and CE 261/291.
Intake air ducting
Induction cooktops have a cooling fan
to protect the appliance’s electronics
from overheating. In the case of insuf-
ficient air circulation in the cabinet, the
appliance’s output will be reduced to
prevent electronic damage.
An open cross-section of a minimum of
20 mm is needed across the full width
and full height of the cabinet.
Cabinets with a closed bottom also
need a respective cross-section in the
air duct area.
In addition to the measures mentioned
above, the following un obstructed
cross sections must be planned
between the cabinet and the AL 400 to
allow for proper intake and exhaust air
circulation for the induction cooktop.
20 mm distance between the back side
of drawers, an oven or the cabinet’s
interior wall.
The resulting gap between the air duct
and the cabinet’s side wall needs to
remain open.
The resulting cross section between
the housing and the wall, as well as
between the housing and the floor,
must remain open.
Combination with AL 400
A In front of the air duct
B Adjacent to the air duct
C At the housing’s rear edge
