Assembly / Installation Guide

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
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 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.
