Installation notes for induction cooktops and glass ceramic cooktops
A Air duct behind a cabinet or
built-in oven
In the cabinet’s back wall, plan a
recess of at least 45 mm (91 mm for
CU 421 / CU 428) 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 (also CU 421 / CU 428)
— 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
mounting
min. 70 mm for cooktops
without frame, for CX 482 / 492 with
frame as well as for VI 462 / 482 / 492
for flush mounting.
min. 80mm for CX 482 / 492
without frame
min. 115mm for CU 421 / 428
B Intake through the cabinet’s back
wall
Intermediate shelf
Applies to CU42., 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
insufficient 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.
