• Independently Set Hinged Heating Elements
• The two grill heating elements can be set independently.
• This means that while the front part of the grill is being used for grilling, the rear part can be used for keeping food warm.
• To clean the cooktop, simply swivel both heating elements out of the way.
• The Vario 400 Pro Series open grill grate has concealed heating elements.
• This ensures that very little smoke is produced, as fat cannot drip onto them.
• Cast Iron Griddle
• This is an extremely useful, easy-care accessory for grilling or cooking on a flat surface.
• Three of its sides are high and effectively protect against fat splashes, and the front edge curves slightly upwards to prevent spillage of fat and deposits of burnt food.
• Stainless Steel Container with Lava Stones
• The floor of the lava stone container is perforated, allowing fat to drip into the pullout collection tray.
• The tray is removable and dishwasher-safe.
• Appliance Cover
• Stainless steel protective cover that can be closed when the appliance is not in use.
• Vacation Lock
• After running for four hours, the appliance automatically switches itself off if it receives no operator commands during this time.
• Control Knobs
• All Series 400 control knobs are designed to prevent unintentional activation of the appliance, because they need to be both pressed and rotated.
• Before a knob can be turned, it must be pushed through a clearly felt stop position.
• The temperature selection knobs on electrical appliances may then be turned in either direction, even past the zero position.
• The setting selected for a cooking zone via a particular knob position is then retained.
• A discreet circular orange light indicates active cooking zones.
• In gas appliances, rotation of the knob is limited to one direction; illumination of the ring is not possible.
• Automatic Cooking Timer (Optional)
• The time at which you desire one or more cooking zones to be switched off automatically can be selected up to 90 (CK) or 99 (VI) minutes in advance.
• The integral clock can be used as a timer independently of the function set for the appliance.
• "Personalize Your Custom Cooktop"
• Allows specialty pieces to be combined with gas and electric units.
• Connecting Strips Give Finished Look and Design
