WARNING

Danger of food poisoning!
No record will be kept of a power failure during Sabbath
Mode. Thus, during Sabbath mode, if a power failure
occurs that you are not aware of, when the power comes
back on, the unit will continue to be in Sabbath Mode but
when Sabbath Mode is ended there will be no indication
that a power failure occurred.
If a power failure occurs during Sabbath mode:

Check the quality of the food. Do not consume spoiled

u

food!

WARNING

Danger of fire

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage

u

compartments of the appliance, unless they are of the
type recommended by the manufacturer.

CAUTION

There is a risk of injury from pieces of broken glass.
Bottles and cans containing drinks can split or crack when
frozen. This applies in particular to carbonated drinks.

Do not freeze bottles and cans containing drinks.

u

So that the food is rapidly frozen through to the core, do
not exceed the following quantities per pack:

- fruit, vegetables up to 2.2 lb (1 kg)

- meat up to 5.51 lbs (2.5 kg)
Pack the food in portions in freezer bags, reusable

u

plastic, metal or aluminum containers.

5.7 Defrosting food

- in the fridge compartment

- in the microwave

- in the oven/fan oven

- at room temperature

WARNING

Danger of food poisoning!

Do not re-freeze defrosted food.

u

5.9 SuperFrost

With this function you can rapidly freeze fresh
food through to the core. The appliance works
with maximum refrigerating performance. The
sound of the refrigeration unit may be tempora­rily louder as a result.

Depending on how much fresh food is to be frozen you
must switch SuperFrost on in advance - for a small
amount of food to be frozen, about 6 hours, for the
maximum amount about 24 hours before putting the food
in.

Package the food and place it inside across as wide an
area as possible. Do not bring food that is to be frozen
into contact with products that are already frozen to
prevent these items from starting to thaw.

You do not need to switch SuperFrost on in the following
cases:

when placing frozen food in the freezer

­when freezing up to about 2 kg of fresh food a day

5.15.2 Producing ice cubes

The production capacity depends on the freezer tempera­ture. The lower the temperature, the more ice cubes can
be produced in a certain period.

The production capacity is 90- 100 ice cubes in 24 hours
at a freezing temperature of 0 °F (-18 °C).

To have the maximum capacity of approx. 130 ice cubes
in 24 hours, activate the SuperFrost Function. Be aware
that this increases the energy consumption because the
compressor will run constantly.

The ice cubes fall out of the IceMaker into the drawer.
When the ice cubes reach a certain height in the drawer,
no more ice cubes can be produced. The IceMaker will
not fill the drawer to the top.

If large quantities of ice cubes are required, the complete
IceMaker drawer can be swapped with the neighboring
drawer. When you close the drawer, the IceMaker auto­matically restarts production.

When the IceMaker is switched on for the first time, it may
take up to 24 hours for the first ice cubes to be produced.

Note

Particles may accumulate in the IceMaker or water line
the first time the appliance is used or after an extended
period out of service.

To achieve this, do not consume or use the ice cubes

u

that are produced within 24 hours.

5.15.4 Switching off the IceMaker

When the IceMaker is switched off, the drawer of the
IceMaker can also be used for freezing and storing food.

Press the On/Off button for about 1 second until the

u

LED goes out.

6 Maintenance

6.1 Replacing the water filter

When used as indicated, the water filter should be
replaced at least every 6 months or whenever you notice
a considerable decrease in the flow rate.

Your nearest dealer can be located by visiting us online at
www.Liebherr.com.

The used water filter contains activated carbon and can
be disposed of with normal household waste.

5.15.3 Setting the water supply time

The opening time of the valve on the IceMaker can be
adjusted if, for example, the water pressure in the pipe is

WARNING

Risk of injury and damage

Do not use mechanical devices or other means to

u

accelerate the defrosting process, other than those
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not use any electrical heating or steam cleaning

u

equipment, naked flames or defrosting sprays for
defrosting.
Do not remove ice with sharp objects.

u

The NoFrost system defrosts the appliance automatically.
The moisture condenses on the evaporator and is periodi-

cally defrosted and evaporated.

The appliance does not need to be defrosted manually.

u

NOTICE

Incorrect cleaning damages the appliance.

Do not use concentrated cleaning agents.

u

Do not use steel wool or sponges that scour or scratch.

u

ventilation grille and electrical parts.
Use soft cleaning cloths and a multi-purpose cleaning

u

agent with a neutral pH value.
Only use food-compatible cleaning and care agents

u

inside the appliance.

Empty the appliance.

7 Troubleshooting.

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for reliable
operation and a long lifespan. If a malfunction nonethe­less occurs during operation, please determine if the
malfunction is due to an operating error. If a service call
determines operator error, you will be charged for the
costs incurred, even during the warranty period. You may
be able to rectify the following problems yourself:

WARNING

The compressor
runs for a long

An LED at the
lower rear of the
appliance (near
the compressor)
flashes regularly

seconds*.

Noises are too
loud.

The power plug is not properly
inserted in the wall socket.

The fuse in the wall socket is not OK.
Power failure

When less refrigeration is required,
the speed-controlled compressor
switches to a low speed. Although
the running time is increased as a
result, energy is saved.

SuperFrost function is activated.

There is a fault.

The different speed levels of speed­controlled* compressors can cause
them to generate various noises
during operation.

Check the power plug.

u

Check the fuse.

u

Keep the appliance closed.

u

Protect the food: place dry ice on top of the food or

u

use an alternate freezer, if the power failure persists
for some time.
Do not re-freeze defrosted food.

u

This is normal in energy-saving models.

u

The compressor runs long to rapidly freeze food.

u

This is normal.
Contact the customer service department (see Main-

These noises are normal.

A gurgling
sound

A faint clicking
sound

A hum. It is
briefly a little
louder when the
refrigeration unit
(the motor)
switches on.

A low hum

Vibration noise

Flow noise on
the soft stop
mechanism.

This sound comes from the refrig­erant flowing in the refrigeration
circuit.

The sound always occurs when the
refrigeration unit (the motor) auto­matically switches on or off.

The refrigeration increases automati­cally when the SuperFrost function is
activated, fresh food has just been
placed in the appliance or the door
has been left open for a while.

The ambient temperature is too high.
The sound occurs as a result of fan

air flow.
The appliance is not standing firmly

on the floor As a result, adjoining
units or objects are set into vibration
by the running refrigeration unit

The sound is caused by the soft stop
mechanism.
