Vario cooling appliances are fixed at 
the top and bottom of the niche, on 
the side opposite the hinge. There is 
no fixation on the hinge  side of the ap-
pliance, because the finger protection 
slides in between the appliance and 
the adjacent  cabinetry. 
The side walls of the adjacent 
 cabinetry have to be dimensionally 
stable.
Vario cooling appliances can be 
 installed handle to handle as a 
side-by-side solution. In this case, 
the side-by-side installation kit 
RA 460 000 is required.
With all appliance combinations, the 
additional heating element 
RA 460 011 needs to be installed 
between the appliances to avoid 
condensation. This additional heat-
ing element is not necessary if the 
distance between the appliances is 
greater than 160 mm, or when the 
appliances are installed side-by-side. 
The heating element does not take up 
additional space. 
It is already included in the niche 
dimensions and does not interfere with 
the finger protection.
If Vario cooling appliances are joined 
together hinge-to-hinge, one must plan 
an additional, dimensionally stable 
plinth between the appliances for the 
finger protection to function properly. 
If usability limitations are acceptable 
(opening both appliance doors simul-
taneously is not possible), appliances 
can be joined directly, using the addi-
tional heating element RA 460 011.
When installing a Vario cooling 
 appliance from the 400 series next to 
an BO/BM/BS from the ovens 400 
series, a lateral distance of 60 mm is 
required, if the BO/BM/BS handle is 
on the same side as the Vario cooling 
appliance door hinge. For the same 
installation next to an BO/BM/BS from 
the ovens 200 series, a distance of 
40  mm is required.
