Toe Kick and
Ventilation Requirements
All Monolith ventilation takes place through the
Toe Kick area. Door panels must be a minimum of
4" (102 mm) above the fl oor. Do not block grill in
Toe Kick area.
Liebherr off ers a 4" (102 mm) tall Toe Kick matching
the width of the Monolith columns, and possible
Side-by-Side combinations, as an accessory.
Please refer to page 43 for Toe Kick accessories
ranging from 18" to 72" width.
The Monolith appliance comes with dividers that must
be installed on the appliance and onto the door, in
order to separate the warm exhaust air from the fresh
incoming air.
Door Clearance Requirements
Monolith appliances are to be installed so the doors
(including handles) and adjacent cabinets, counter-
tops, walls, or other kitchen elements do not collide
with one another when doors open.
In case the door hits the wall or other cabinet, a door
limiter of 90° is included with the appliance. The door
opening angle is set to 115° at the plant, but this can
be reduced to 90° by simply inserting the stable pin
in the hinge.
Additional solutions include:
• Reduce the door panel thickness if it is larger
than 3/4" (19 mm).
• Rearrange the element that is colliding with the
appliance.
• Use a bumper or stopper to prevent the door from
damaging the adjoining wall or cabinet.
