To ensure the compressor mounting plate reaches the
anti tipping bracket in cabinets deeper than 24", a wooden spacer must be mounted between the appliance back
and the wall. The anti tipping bracket will be fastened to
the floor downwards and to the spacer backwards.
WARNING!
Be sure the wooden spacer is fastened
securely to the floor.

Safety Instructions and Warnings
• Do not install the water connection while the combined refrigerator-freezer is connected to an electrical
outlet.
• The connection to the water supply may only be
made by a trained and licensed plumber.
• All equipment and devices used to supply the water
to the appliance must comply with the current regulations for your geographical area.
WARNING!
Connect to potable water supply only.
Water Connection Requirements
• The water supply pressure requirements are different
based on whether or not the supplied Liebherr water
filter is installed.
With the filter installed, the pressure must be in the
range of 40-90 psi (2.8-6.2 bar).
Water Connection Adapter - Figure 13
IMPORTANT
Only use the supplied adapter for connection to the
solenoid valve. The solenoid valve has a metric R3/4
male connector. Any attempt to use other adapters
for connection could damage the thread on the
solenoid valve.
The supplied adapter enables different connection
options for different kinds of water lines. A water line is
not supplied with the appliance.
IMPORTANT
Do not use any old or already premounted water
supply lines.
Seal
Connects to 1/4" compression end
Valve connector (union nut
for connection to the solenoid valve)
Without the filter installed, the acceptable pressure
range is 22-87 psi (1.5-6 bar).
Failure to meet these requirements will likely result
in ice maker malfunction and possibly cause a water
leakage that can damage flooring and surrounding
furniture.
• A shut-off valve, must be installed between the hose
line and the main water supply so the water supply
can be stopped if necessary.
IMPORTANT
Do not install the shut-off valve behind the appliance.
Angle connector
Connects to 1/4" compression end
Union nut with compression ring for
use with 1/4" OD copper lines
Figure 13
The connection to the valve connector can be done with
or without the angle connector, as required.
Braided style ice maker hoses can be connected directly
to the threaded ends.
For connection with 1/4" OD copper lines, use the union
nut with compression ring.
IMPORTANT
Make sure that the connection is fitted with a seal
and is tight.
• Insert the water strainer supplied into the
valve connector (Fi g ure 14).

Connection to the Water Supply
1. Move the appliance
towards the final position and leave enough
space to work behind.
2. Insert the water supply line into its intended opening at the
back of the appliance
(Figure 15).
3. Move the power supply
line to the area of the
electrical outlet.

WARNING!
To prevent the appliance from tipping
forward the compressor mounting plate
must have contact with the anti tipping
bracket (Figure 16).
5. Remove the cover from the solenoid valve
(Figure 17).
6. Connect the water line to the adapter in the respective configuration, depending on the type of water line
used. Figure 18 shows the configuration with a copper line as an example.
Do not connect to the electrical outlet
before the installation is completed and
the water line is connected to the solenoid
valve.
