Assembly and installation instructions

WARNING
Risk of fire due to moisture!
If live parts or the power cord get wet, this can cause a
short circuit.
u
The appliance is designed for use in enclosed spaces.
Do not operate the appliance in open space or in damp
areas or where there is spray.
u
Only operate the appliance after it has been installed.
WARNING
Leaking refrigerant and oil!
Fire. The refrigerant contained within the appliance is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. The oil contained
within the appliance is flammable. Escaping refrigerant
and oil can ignite if they are of high enough concentration
and are exposed to an external heat source.
u
Do not damage the pipelines of the coolant circuit and
the compressor.
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
Liebherr 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 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
Unstable appliance!
Risk of injury and damage. The appliance can tip over.
u
Secure the appliance according to the operating
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 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. For every 0.28 oz (8 g) of
refrigerant, the installation space must be at least
35.5 ft
3
(1 m
3
). Specifications regarding the refrigerant
contained within the appliance can be found on the
rating plate inside the appliance.
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.
