UIDELINES

Area Requirements

Verify the following:

• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus
approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food
weight.

• Finished kitchen floor height has to be level.
Appliance must be shimmed to the floor level if
the floor heights are not equal to make sure air
vents are not obstructed.

• Remove anything attached to 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
element 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.

WARNING

!

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

Electrical Grounding Required. This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(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.

Customer’s Responsibility

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp (20 Amp for side-by­side installation) fused electrical supply is required.
We recommend using a dedicated circuit for this
appliance to prevent electrical overload. Follow
the National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances when installing the receptacle.

Blocking For Safety

The anti-tip brackets must be installed to prevent
the unit from tipping after it is installed. Refer to
Blocking For Safety.

Electrical Requirement

If codes require a separate grounding circuit to be
used, have a qualified electrician install the circuit.

WARNING

!

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.

WARNING

!

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

• Electrically ground refrigerator.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire or electrical shock.

Unit Venting

DO NOT restrict the air flow. Air flow must be
provided for the unit to operate. The factory air
vents provide 31 square inches (200 cm²) of air
flow per unit. If you are replacing the factory air
vents with an overlay, the air flow must be the
same or greater than the factory air vents.

Cabinet Opening Dimensions -

Figure 1

Allow units to open a minimum of 90° to prevent
problems removing drawers. With the door
opening 90°, you may have to move drawers
slightly to clear the door interior.

Refer to the minimum door clearances in the Pre­Installation Specifications chart.

• Allow for a minimum 3-3/4" (95 mm) filler, for
corner installations, so the door can open to 90°.
If you’re using raised panels, consider using a
wider filler.

IMPORTANT

Refer to the full scale illustrations at the end
of this section for specifics on door openings
and filler size alternatives.

NSTALLATION

The following ventilation cross-section and
distances must be observed:

- There must be a ventilation space of at
least 31 square inches (200 cm²) per
appliance in the cabinet plinth and under
the cabinet top panel.

- The depth of the ventilation duct at the
rear of the cabinet must be at least 1­1/2" (38 mm).

Alternatively:

1. For built-in appliances without
ventilation grilles and only with an
installation frame, ventilation must take
place through the ventilation duct at the
rear of the cabinet.

“small” (If you install two appliances
side-byside, the cross-section must be at
least 62 square inches, (400 cm²), which
corresponds to template “double-size;”
for more information see “Side-by-Side
Installation”).

Figure 21: Secure the appliance in place so it does

not tip forward when the fully stocked door is
opened.

1. Measure the distance from the floor to the
upper edge of the unit.

2. Locate and mark two wall studs (1) against the
wall where the appliance will be located. The
space between the unit top and the bottom
of the brackets must not be more than
1/4" (6.4 mm).

3. Make sure the screws (2) extend a minimum of
1" (25.4 mm) into each of the wall studs.

4. Make sure the anti-tip brackets (3) extend
at least 3" (76.2 mm) over the unit and are
securely in place.

IMPORTANT

The anti-tip brackets can be installed in either
direction or closer together. Always position
the anti-tip brackets as wide apart as possible,
but make sure they are anchored to two studs.

5. Using the adjustable roller base, raise the unit
until it makes contact with the brackets. Make
sure the front levelers are firmly on the floor to
prevent the appliance from tipping forward.

IMPORTANT

If your unit is positioned in between the
wall studs, a board can be secured to the
wall. Make sure the board is secured to the
studs with screws that will penetrate into the
studs a minimum of 1" (25.4 mm). The board
should be a minimum of 1" x 6" (25.4 mm x

152.4 mm) and long enough to secure both
ends to the wall studs.

Water Connection - Figure 22

Please read the first three points of the safety
instructions and warnings before connecting the
appliance to the main water supply.

• 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. Allow extra length
to the water supply line to provide slack for easy
removal and to prevent the line from kinking.

This is not supplied with the appliance
(Figure 22).

• A shut-off valve, such as the saddle valve
illustration here, must be installed between the
hose line and the main water supply so the
water supply can be stopped if necessary.

Figure 22

Do not install the shut-off valve behind the
appliance.

• 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.

- Figures 23, 24

1. Install the shut-off valve, water filter and
automatic shut-off device as required.

Note

The solenoid valve is located at the rear of
your unit.

2. Place a 1/4" OD copper tubing between the
shut-off valve and solenoid valve. Make sure
there is approximately 30" (70 cm) of excess
tubing behind the unit for easy connection.

IMPORTANT

The solenoid valve has a Metric R3/4 male
connection.
A R3/4(metric) to a 1/4" OD adapter and
cable clip are supplied with the icemaker.

Figure 24: Remove the cover cap (4) from

the solenoid valve (1). Install the connection
bracket (2) with sealing ring (6) on the
solenoid valve (1). Attach the copper tube to
the connection bracket (2). Secure the copper
tube (3) to the appliance using the cable
clip (5).

3. Open the shut-off valve for the water supply
and check the entire water system for leaks.
Before the appliance is used for the first time
a licensed plumber should bleed air from the
system.

4. Insert the electrical plug for the combined
winecooler/freezer into the electrical outlet
(Figure 23).

5. Move the combined winecooler-freezer into
final position in the room.
