INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Area Requirements
Verify the following:
• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus
approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food
weight.
• Finish kitchen floor height is level. Kitchen
cabinet that the appliance is installed in must be
shimmed to the floor level if the floor heights are
not equal.
• Remove anything attached to the rear or side
walls of appliance that would prevent proper
installation or impede proper ventillation.
• Cutout dimensions are accurate.
• Electrical outlet is in correct location.
Do not install this refrigerator-freezer 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
refrigerators or freezers are installed side-by-side.
Installing this refrigerator-freezer next to any other
refrigerator or freezer can cause condensation or
cause damage to the Liebherr refrigerator-freezer.
Electrical Requirement
If codes require a separate grounding circuit to be
used, have a qualified electrician install the circuit.
• Electrically ground refrigerator.
Customer’s Responsibility
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp 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.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire, death or serious
injury.
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.
Failure to follow these instructions could
•
result in death or serious injury.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!
• 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.
• Failure to follow these instructions
could result in death or serious injury.

Venting the Appliance
DO NOT restrict the air flow. Air flow must be
provided for the appliance to operate. The factory
air vents provide 31 square inches (200 cm2) of air
flow per appliance. 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.

WARNING
DANGER
!
Disposal of Old Appliance
Be sure to follow your local requirements for
disposal of appliances. Discarded appliances can
be dangerous. To help prevent an accident:
● Remove the door(s).
● Cut off the power cable from the discarded
appliance.
● Cut off the prongs from the power cable plug
and discard them.
● Leave the shelves and drawers in place.
Following these instructions reduces the possibility
of causing personal injury, especially to children
playing.
Contact the trash collection agency in your area for
additional information.
Important Safety Information
This appliance is intended for domestic use only.
Use the appliance only for its intended purpose, the
storage of food products. Follow the cautions and
safety warnings throughout this instruction manual
including the following:
● In the event of a power outage, minimize opening
the appliance door(s). Protect the food either by
placing dry ice on top of the packages or using a
local frozen food locker if the power failure is of
a long duration. Do not attempt to re-freeze any
frozen food that has thawed out.
● To avoid possible injury, only adjust an empty
shelf. Do not attempt to adjust a shelf with food
on it.
● Wait 30 minutes to 1 hour after installation
before you plug in the appliance. This allows
the refrigerant and system lubrication to reach
equilibrium.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD!
• Start-up should only take place if the
appliance has been installed
according to these instructions.
• Failure to follow these instructions
could result in death or serious injury.
● Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
Children must not climb, sit or stand on the
shelves, drawers or door.
● To prevent possible injury due to an electrical
shock, be sure to disconnect the power cord or
turn off the circuit breaker before replacing the
interior light or cleaning the appliance.
● To prevent possible injury due to broken glass,
use hand protection when replacing the interior
light.
● To prevent possible injury or damage to the
appliance, do not use steam cleaning equipment
to clean the appliance.
● Do not operate the appliance in the presence of
explosive fumes.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
Electrical Safety
Connect this appliance to a 110-120 VAC, 15 amp
circuit that is controlled by a circuit breaker or fuse.
In some communities, a wall switch is required
to turn power to the appliance OFF and ON. This
appliance should have its own separate grounded
circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
The top of the electric outlet must be located within
82-5/8 in. (2100 mm) (Figure 2) from the top of the
base in the cabinet.
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 two-prong adapter. Where a two-
prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact
a qualified electrician and have it replaced with
a three-prong receptacle in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
● Do not use a power cord that is frayed or
damaged.

Kitchen Cabinet Construction
This is a fully integrated refrigerator-freezer which
means that it is fully enclosed by a kitchen cabinet.
This type of cabinet must be carefully constructed
using the proper dimensions and it must provide
proper ventilation to ensure proper appliance operation.
Kitchen Cabinet Airflow
1. The following ventilation dimensions must be
observed:
● There must be a ventilation space at
least 31 in.2 (200 cm2) at the airflow inlet
(Fig. 4, 1) and at the airflow outlet (Fig. 4, 2).
● There must be a clear ventilation space
(without any obstructions) of at least
1-1/2 in. (38 mm) at the back of the kitchen
cabinet (Figure 5).
● The top ventilation space can be either
directly over the appliance (Fig. 4, 2) or next
to the ceiling over a cabinet (Fig. 4, 3), or
through a vent installed in a soffit (Fig. 4, 4).

2. Ventilation through the cabinet base at the
bottom can be achieved by installing the
provided ventilation grille (Fig. 6, 3) or via a
ventilation opening of at least 31 in.2 (200 cm2).
When using the provided ventilation grille
(Fig. 6, 3), please proceed as follows:
● In the cabinet base, cut out a ventilation
opening that is 17-23/32 in. (450 mm) in
width and 2-7/32 in. (56 mm) in height
(Figure 6).
● Insert ventilation (Fig. 6, 3) grille into the
cabinet base cut-out (Fig. 6, 1).
● From the back side, slide the snap-fits
(Fig. 6, 2) into the grille until the hooks
make contact with the cabinet base.
● Completely mount cabinet base (with
ventilation grille and snap-fits) to kitchen
cabinet.
Construction of Kitchen Cabinet - Figure 7
Construct the kitchen cabinet using the
dimensions shown in Figure 7.
1. Align the kitchen cabinet with a level (Fig. 7, 2)
and a square. If necessary, shim underneath
the cabinet to make it level. The floor and side
walls must be at right angles to each other.
2. Install the refrigerator-freezer in stable kitchen
cabinets only.
3. The joint between the upper and the lower
kitchen cabinet door must align with the joint
between the upper and lower refrigeratorfreezer door.
If you use a pre-designed kitchen cabinet, you
may need to shim the refrigerator-freezer so the
doors are properly aligned.
Follow the dimensions provided in Figure 7 to
determine if any shims (Fig. 7, 4) are required.
Also make sure you adjust the height of the
kitchen cabinet (Fig. 7, Dimension “D”) if you
need to add any shims.
