Installation Instructions

WARNING
Risk of fire due to refrigerant.
The refrigerant contained within the appliance, R 600a, is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. Leaking refrig-
erant can ignite.
u
Do not damage the pipes of the refrigerant circuit.
WARNING
Danger of fire and damage!
u
Do not place devices that give off heat, e.g. micro-
waves, toasters, etc. on the appliance.
NOTICE
Risk of damage caused by condensation
Installing the appliance next to any other refrigerator or
freezer can cause condensation or damage to the Lieb-
herr appliance.
u
Do not install this appliance next to any other refriger-
ator or freezer except another Liebherr model. Liebherr
models are designed to allow side-by-side installation.
They are equipped with a heating system to eliminate
condensation when refrigerators or freezers are
installed side-by-side.
NOTICE
Risk of damage caused by water condensate!
If installing multiple appliances above each other, they
can be damaged due to the formation of condensate.
Your IG.. or IB.. is equipped with overhead heating up to a
height of 880 mm.
u
Do not install fridge or freezer appliances above each
other, unless the bottom appliance is an up to 880 mm
high IG.. or IB...
NOTICE
Risk of damage for the finished floor surface!
u
Protect the finished floor surface before you uncrate the
unit.
WARNING
Danger of damage from overheating. May restrict opera-
tion.
u
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
WARNING
Danger of tilting.
u
To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it
must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.
q
If possible, have a professional install the appliance in
your kitchen cabinet unit.
q
If the appliance is damaged check with the supplier
immediately before connecting it.
q
The floor of the installation site must be horizontal and
level.
q
Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or next to
an oven, heater or similar heat source.
q
Do not install the appliance on your own. It is better to
do this with two or more people.
q
The more R 600a refrigerant is in the appliance, the
larger the room must be where the device is located. In
the case of a leak, a flammable gas-air mixture may be
created in a room that is too small. In accordance with
standard EN 378, for every 0.39 oz (11 g) R 600a
coolant, the installation space must be at least35.5 ft
3
(1 m
3
). The amount of refrigerant in your appliance is
indicated on the identification plate inside the appli-
ance.
q
If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment
condensate water may form on the outside of the appli-
ance. Always ensure good ventilation.
q
The load-bearing capacity of the floor must be sufficient
for the weight of the appliance plus about 1200 pounds
(544 kg) of food weight.
q
The electrical socket must assessed precisely to
ensure the correct position and fuse.
q
Do not restrict ventilation. Sufficient ventilation is
required for the appliance to operate correctly. The
ventilation grid fitted at the factory guarantees an effec-
tive ventilation gap on the appliance of 31 in.
2
(200 cm
2
). If you replace the ventilation grid with a
fascia, this must have at least the same size or larger
ventilation gap as the manufacturer's ventilation grid.
u
Note down the type (model, number), appliance name,
appliance or serial number, date of purchase and
manufacturer's address in the place provided for this in
the Use & Care Manual.
u
Remove all materials that could prevent it from being
installed properly or prevent proper ventilation from the
back or the side panels of the appliance.
u
Remove the red transport
safety device. Close off any
holes that have been
revealed with plugs (60).
