numerous innovative product ideas and advanced design. Liebherr freezers and
refrigerators are manufactured at three modern production plants:

Liebherr Marica in Bulgaria, Liebherr-Hausgeräte Ochsenhausen GmbH in
Germany and the Liebherr-Hausgeräte Lienz GmbH in Austria.

We produce more than 2.3 million quality freezers, refrigerators and wine
refrigerators each year, and these are sold all over the world. Liebherr­Hausgeräte Ochsenhausen GmbH in Germany makes over 1,100,000 appliances
a year and employs 1,900 people. The Liebherr-Hausgeräte Lienz GmbH
manufactures more than 700,000 freezers and refrigerators and employs 1,500
people.

The appliances for the North American market are produced in Austria and in
Germany.

Liebherr is commited to the protection of the environment and recognizes it
as a critical priority. To guarantee an optimum and consistent implementation,
all ecological aspects were observed and integrated into the quality control of
Liebherr in compliance with DIN EN ISO 9001.

Liebherr's Commitment to the Environment

The components of Liebherr products can be recycled when the necessary
resources are applied. A concern for the environment and a desire to protect
resources has lead to increased levels of recycling year after year. When
Liebherr manufactures products, it is essential that the recyclable recovery rate
of the materials we use constantly increases.

Recycling is a common goal among all manufacturers, municipalities and
recycling companies to protect our environment. Protecting the environment
and producing products which have a low impact on the environment, is one
of Liebherr's core values. Whether you are replacing a unit or starting fresh,
remember to dispose of your old appliance in an environmentally safe and
friendly manner.

I. Safety Warnings

PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This design guide contains Warning and Caution statements. This information is important for safe and
efficient installation.

This design guide is not replacing the use and care manual which contains important information on how to use Lieb­herr appliances.

Always read and follow all Warning and Caution statements!

States a hazard that may cause serious injury or death if precautions are not followed.

Signals a situation where minor injury or product damage may occur if you do not follow instructions.

States a hazard will cause serious injury or death if precautions are not followed.

IMPORTANT

This highlights information that is especially relevant to a problem-free installation.

Make sure incoming voltage is the same as the unit rating.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or personal injury, the installation work and electrical wiring must be done by
a qualified electrician in accordance with all applicable codes and standards, including fire rated construction.

To the Installer

It is very important that the guidelines and instructions are followed in this design guide to ensure proper installa­tion and operation of the unit. The Installation Guidelines section contains important information for making sure the
installation is correct. Read and understand all the information and installation guidelines in this manual before the
unit is installed.

It is also very important to know the Safety Information.

General Remarks

II. Electrical Requirements & Safety

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp (20 Amp for side-by-side
installation) fused electrical supply is required. Connect
undercounter wine cabinet to a 115 VAC, 10 amp (15
Amp for side-by-side installations) circuit that is con­trolled by a circuit breaker or fuse.
We recommend using a dedicated circuit for these ap­pliances to prevent electrical overload. Comply with
the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and
ordinances when installing the receptacle.

The power cord is equipped with a three-prong (ground­ing) plug for your protection against possible shock
hazards. To maintain this protection:

• Do not modify the plug by removing the round ground­ing prong.

• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.

Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are not sure the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not have
a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.

III. IceMaker (if equipped)

The icemaker is located in the freezer compartment.
It must be connected to the water supply to function
properly. The appliance must be level for the icemaker to
function properly.
The water pressure must be between 21.8-87.0 psi (1.5-6 bar).
Use a 1/4" OD copper line to connect the water supply to
the solenoid valve. This is not supplied with the refrigera­tor.
If you have hard water, we recommend you install a
water softener. Also, a filter must be installed if the water
contains solids such as sand. All equipment and devices
used to supply the water to the appliance must comply
with the current regulations for your geographical area.

Safety Instructions and Warnings

• Do not attach the water source while the appliance is
connected to an electrical outlet.

• A shut-off valve, must be installed between the hose
line and the main water supply so that the water sup­ply can be stopped if necessary. Do not install the
shut-off valve behind the refrigeration unit.

• The connection to the water supply may only be made
by a trained and licensed plumber.

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

Electrical Grounding Required. This
appliance is equipped with a three­prong(grounding) polarized plug for your
protection against possible shock hazards.

• DO NOT remove the round grounding
prong from the plug.

• DO NOT use a two-prong grounding
adapter.

• DO NOT use an extension cord to connect
power to the unit.

• The water quality must comply with the drinking water
regulations for the geographical area where the appli­ance is located.

• The icemaker is designed exclusively to make ice
cubes in quantities needed by a household and may
only be operated with water appropriate for this pur­pose.

• All repairs and work on the icemaker may only be done
by customer service personnel or other trained person­nel.

• The manufacturer cannot accept liability for damage
caused by equipment or water lines between the sole­noid valve and the water supply.

General Remarks

IV. Area Requirements

Verify the following:

• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus approxi­mately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food weight. Not
all Liebherr products are designed for 1200 pounds
(544 kg) of food. Some units are smaller and total
weights may vary.

• Finished kitchen floor height is level. Refrigerator must
be shimmed to the floor level, or levelled, to make
sure, air vents are not obstructed.

• Remove anything attached to the rear or side walls
that can obstruct refrigerator opening.

• Cutout dimensions are accurate.

• Electrical outlet is in correct location.

Do not install this unit next to any other refrigerator 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 units are installed side by side. Installing this
unit next to any other refrigerator or freezer can cause
condensation or cause damage to the Liebherr unit.

V. Safety Regulations

The appliance complies with UL250 and CAN/CSA-C
22,2 No. 63 and is designed to cool, freeze, store food
as well as make ice (if equipped). It is designed as a
household appliance. If used commercially, the relevant
regulations on commercial use must be observed.

The appliance is set to operate within specific ambient
temperature limits according to its climate rating. These
temperature limits should not be exceeded. The cor­rect climate rating for your appliance is indicated on the
model plate.

This is explained as follows:

Climate

Rating

SN 50°F to 90°F (10°C to 32°C)

N 61°F to 90°F (16°C to 32°C)

ST 61°F to 100°F (16°C to 38°C)

T 61°F to 109°F (16°C to 43°C)

SN-ST

SN-T

Set for Ambient Temperatures of

50°F to 100°F (10°C to 38°C)

50°F to 109°F (10°C to 43°C)

To protect the refrigerator from possible
damage, allow the appliance to stand 1/2 to
1 hour in place before turning the electricity
on. This allows the refrigerant and system
lubrication to reach equilibrium.

Blocking For Safety

The anti-tip bracket must be installed to prevent the unit
from tipping after it is installed. Refer to chapter "Block­ing For Safety" in the installation instructions.

- The refrigerant circuit has been tested for leaks.

is enough. It is possible to push all CS models to the rear wall
of the cabinet without modification.

When installing the appliance next to a wall, a distance on the
hinge side of 1 27/64 inches (36 mm) minimum is required be­tween the appliance and the wall to allow for the door handle
projection when the door is open.
