General safety information

1.5 Energy saving

Always ensure good ventilation. Do not obstruct venti-

lation openings or grilles. Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or next to

an oven, heater, or similar heat source. Energy consumption depends on installation conditions

such as the ambient temperature (see 1.3) . Avoid opening the appliance door for any longer then

neccesary. The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy

consumption. All food stored in the appliance should be well wrapped

and covered. This prevents frost buildup. Only take food out for as long as necessary so that it

does not get too warm. Storing hot food: let it cool to room temperature first.

Defrost frozen food in the fridge.

4.1 Transporting the appliance

CAUTION

Risk of injury or damage if incorrectly transported.

Transport the appliance in its packaging.

Transport the appliance upright.

Do not move the appliance on your own.

4.2 Setting up the appliance

WARNING

Risk of fire due to moisture! If live parts or the power cord get wet, this can cause a short circuit.

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. Only operate the appliance after it has been installed.

WARNING

Risk of fire due to short circuit. If the power cable or plug of the appliance or another appliance and the back of the appliance touch each other the power cable or plug will be damaged by the vibrations of the appliance which could lead to a short circuit.

Install the appliance so that it does not touch any plugs

or power cables. Do not connect the appliance or other appliances to the

sockets on the back of the appliance.

The following is displayed in normal operation:

the highest freezer temperature

the average fridge temperature

The freezer compartment temperature display is flashing:

the temperature setting has been changed

after switch-on the temperature is not yet cold enough

the temperature has risen several degrees

Start-up

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.

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!

Protect the finished floor surface before you uncrate the

unit.

Verify that:

The floor under the appliance is flat and level.

The floor can support the appliance's weight plus

approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food weight. The appliance is not placed in direct sunlight or near

the stove, range top, radiators and similar heat sources. The kitchen cabinet that the appliance is installed in is

shimmed to the floor level if the floor heights are not equal. Cutout dimensions are accurate.

Electrical outlet is in correct location.

The air flow is not restricted. Air flow must be provided

for the appliance to operate properly. The factory air vents provide 31 square inches (200 cm2) of air flow per appliance. If you are replacing the air vents with an overlay, the air flow must be the same or greater than the factory air vents.

Examine the unit and packaging for shipping damage.

Contact the carrier immediately if you suspect there is any damage. Note the type (model, number), index, appliance/serial

number, date of purchase and where purchased (see 6.6) . Remove anything attached to the rear or side walls of

appliance that would prevent proper installation or impede proper ventilation. Unscrew the red transport

lock. Close the vacated retaining hole using the stopper (70).

Note

Clean the appliance (see 6.2) .

If the appliance is set up in humid areas, condensation may build on the outside of the appliance.

Always ensure proper ventilation.

4.3 Disposal of packaging

WARNING

Danger of suffocation from packaging materials and films!

Do not allow children to play with packaging materials.

The packaging is made from recyclable materials:

Corrugated card/cardboard

Parts made of foamed polystyrene

Films and bags from polyethylene

Packing bands from polypropylene

Wood frame nailed together with a polyethylene

window* Take the packaging material to an official collection

point.

4.4 Connecting the appliance

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard!

Start-up should only take place once the appliance has

been installed according to these instructions. Electrically ground appliance.

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.

Do not use an extension cord, power bar or a multiple

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

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard! This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards. Electrical Grounding Required.

Do not remove the round grounding prong from the

plug. Use only an grounded adapter.

Wait 1 hour after installation before you plug in the

appliance. This allows the refrigerant and system lubrication to reach equilibrium. Make sure incoming voltage is the same as the appli-

ance rating. A 110-120 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp electrical supply (20 Amp for side-by-side installations) circuit that is controlled by a circuit breaker or fuse is required. We recommend using a dedicated circuit for this appli-

ance to prevent electrical overload. Follow all Federal, State and local electrical, fire and

building codes and ordinances when installing the receptacle and / or the appliance. In some communities, a wall switch is required to turn

power to the appliance ON and OFF.
