Key Features

InfinitySwipe: Monolith’s intuitive electronic
touch-control panel features a full-color 2.4-inch
touch & swipe screen that’s bright, clean, and
wonderfully user-friendly. You’ll barely have to
lift a finger to control every function.

SmartDevice: Monolith comes with a
SmartDeviceBox which can be controlled via
a smartphone or tablet, activating settings
and features while on the go. SmartDevice can
also help you become a better chef by using
internal cameras to tell you what items you’ll need
for a recipe, and voice recognition to order
what you’re missing.

BioFresh: BioFresh is an advanced food preser­vation system featuring independent climate
controls, where you can create a high-humidity
environment for fruits and veggies in one drawer,
and a low-humidity environment for meats and
cheeses in another. FlexSystem: This simple-to-
use organization system helps sort and separate
foods stored in your favorite BioFresh drawer.

BioFresh-Plus: Liebherr’s BioFresh technology
guarantees the perfect climate for superior,
long-lasting food freshness. In addition to two
BioFresh drawers, the third Monolith refrigerator
drawer can be set as BioFresh-Plus, lowering
temperatures down to 28 ºF, ideal for storing
fresh fish and seafood.

InfinitySpring: The seamlessly integrated, flush­mounted InfinitySpring internal water dispenser
is there when you need it, and virtually invisible
when you don’t, and can accommodate pitchers
of any size. Liebherr’s filtration system eliminates
harmful contaminates, resulting in crisp, clear, fresh
tasting water.

12 13

PowerCooling: Liebherr’s high-performance
PowerCooling system ensures that newly stored
foods are quickly cooled, while maintaining an
even temperature throughout the interior. Taking
this system one step further, Monolith circulates
cold air behind the door, meaning that items
stored in the door stay just as cold as everything
else inside.

InfinityLight: Monolith’s seamlessly integrated
LED side-wall lighting casts a beautiful and even
glow that can be adjusted according to taste,
including a soft brightening effect upon opening
the doors, and a pleasing night dimming feature.
InfinityLight doesn’t just add drama and flair,
it also emits less heat, preserving food quality.

Gallon Storage: Monolith’s durable and
elegant door shelves provide more cubic feet
and convenience. Store gallon jugs of tea,
juice and milk on the door, freeing up the
refrigerator’s interior shelves for everything from
party platters to fresh salad bowls.

Planning Information

Area Requirements

Verify the following:

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

• Finished kitchen floor height is level. Refrigerator must be
shimmed to the floor level or leveled to make sure air vents
are not obstructed.

• Remove anything attached to the rear or side walls that
can obstruct appliance opening.

• Cut out 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 for Side-by-Side installation. They are equipped with a
heating system 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.

IMPORTANT

To protect the refrigerator from possible damage, allow the
appliance to stand 1 hour in place before turning the electricity
on. This allows the refrigerant and lubrication system to reach
equilibrium.

Blocking For Safety

The anti-tipping bracket must be installed to prevent the unit
from tipping after it is installed. Refer to chapter “Blocking
For Safety” in the installation instructions.

Safety Regulations

The appliances are designed to cool, freeze, store food as well
as make ice (if equipped).
The appliances are manufactured to operate within specific
ambient temperature limits according to its climate rating.
The climate rating indicates the ambient temperature at which
the appliance may be operated in order to deliver optimal
refrigeration performance.
The climate rating for Monolith columns is SN-T.

Climate Rating Ambient Temperature

SN 50 °F to 90 °F (10 °C to 32 °C)

N 61 °F to 90 °F (16 °C to 32 °C)

ST 61 °F to 100 °F (16 °C to 38 °C)

T 61 °F to 109 °F (16 °C to 43 °C)

SN-ST 50 °F to 100 °F (10 °C to 38 °C)

SN-T 50 °F to 109 °F (10 °C to 43 °C)

IMPORTANT

Do not operate the appliance outside the specified ambient
temperature range.

• Refrigerant circuits are tested for leaks.

• The appliances complies with current safety regulations

CAN/CSA C22.2 No.60335-1-11
UL 60335-1 Fifth Edition
CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 60335-2-24 - 06
UL 60335-2-24 First Edition

Electrical Requirements & Safety

A 15 amp or 20 amp, 110-120 VAC, circuit which is grounded
and protected by a circuit breaker or fuse is required.

We recommend using a dedicated circuit for each appliance
to prevent circuit overload and the chance of interruption to the
appliance.

The appliances are equipped with a three-prong (grounding)
polarized plug for protection against possible shock hazards.

Comply with the National Electrical Code as well as local codes
and ordinances when installing the receptacle.

WARNING!

Electrocution hazard.

Electrical grounding required.

• Do not remove the round grounding
prong from the plug.

• Do not use extension cords or ungrounded
(two-prong) adapters.

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

• Do not use a power strip.

Failure to follow these instructions may
result in fire, electrical shock or death.

WARNING!

The refrigerant R600a contained within the appliances is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. Leaking refrigerant
can ignite.

To prevent possible ignition, designed ventilation is required.

Internal Water Dispenser and IceMaker

(if equipped)

Monolith appliances that are equipped with an internal water
dispenser or an IceMaker must be connected to a water supply.

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). Without the filter installed the
acceptable pressure range is 22–87 psi (1.5–6 bar).

Use a braided style IceMaker hose with 1/4" compression
end or a 1/4" OD copper line to connect the water supply
with the solenoid valve of the appliance. This is not supplied
with 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.

All models equipped with an internal water dispenser or IceMaker
include a water filter located in the front base of the product.
Water filters must be replaced periodically. An alarm in the
InfinitySwipe will indicate when the water filter must be replaced.

Safety Instructions and Warnings

• Do not attach the water source while the appliance is connect­ed to an electrical outlet.

• A shut-off valve must be installed between the hose line and
the main water supply so that the water supply can be
stopped if necessary. Do not install the shut-off valve behind
the appliance.

• The connection to the water supply may only be made by a
trained and licensed plumber.

• The water quality must comply with the drinking water
regulations for the geographical area where the appliance
is located.

• The IceMaker is designed exclusively to make ice cubes in
quantities needed by a household, and may only be operated
with water appropriate for this purpose.

• All repairs and work on the IceMaker may only be done by
Customer Service personnel or other trained personnel.

• The manufacturer cannot accept liability for damage caused

Installation Dimensions

When planning the cut out, it is essential that the
top and side interior walls be flush to the appliance
at a minimum depth of 4" (102 mm) from the outer
edge of the face frame and composed of thick
(5/8" (16 mm) minimum) material for secure
installation. Also, because the case interior will be
partially visible when the refrigerator door is opened,
always ensure that the top and side returns are
finished to match the exterior furniture at the same
minimum depth of 4" (102 mm).

Monolith columns include a sealing set in order to
cleanly close the gaps between appliance and
cabinet side walls.

Monolith columns are designed to be fully flush
integrated when installed in 25" (635 mm) deep
cabinets, by using the stainless steel panels
offered as accessories, or custom door panels that
perfectly match the rest of kitchen cabinetry.

The typical wood panel thickness is 3/4" (19 mm),
however thicker panels or other materials can be used.
When using custom panels, always ensure that the
panel reverse is finished to match the exterior, as
parts of the panel reverse will be visible when the
refrigerator door is opened.

When using custom panels, do not exceed the
maximum panel weight allowed by the door hinge
of the specific column.

Maximum door weight

Monolith columns are designed to fit any type of
kitchen cabinetry door installation, whether 25" depth
as the typical North America style, or the 24" depth
known as European style.

The cut out is the niche in which a Monolith column
is installed. The width of the cut out can be the one
of a single column (18", 24", 30", etc.) or the one
for a Side-by-Side combination (42", 48", 54", etc.),

this will depend on the column models considered.
The depth of the Monolith columns is 24" (610 mm),
which allows for the appliances to be installed in an
European style kitchen cabinetry which requires 24"
(610 mm) and also a 25" (635 mm) deeper cut out to
accommodate different types of installation like stan-

In the North American style cabinetry, the total depth of

the cut out is equal to the depth of the niche plus the face

frame. It does not necessarily include the thickness of the

door panel, as this will depend on the installation style.
dard overlay, full overlay, offset or flush inset installation.

For a Standard Overlay on an American Style cabinet and frameless installation in European style cabinet, use the
door panel dimension specified as frameless installation.

For a flush inset installation, use the door panel dimensions of inset installation.

For any other type of installation, please refer to Door Clearance Requirements (page 35) to define the door panel
dimensions.

Installation Options

Side-by-Side Installation

Recommended Installations Considerations

Stand-Alone

Side-by-Side
within one
cabinet

All Monolith appliances can be installed as a left-hinge or right­hinge stand-alone unit. When dimensioning the cabinet, include
the thickness of the door panel and handle (see page 35, Door
Clearance Requirements).

Ensure the Monolith appliance is installed so the door has clearance
from any adjacent wall or any kitchen element.

Monolith appliances can be installed Side-by-Side within one cabinet
by installing a Side-by-Side kit, which must be purchased separately.
When dimensioning the cabinet, include the thickness of the door panel
and handle (see page 35, Door Clearance Requirements).

During design and installation, please take into account the layout of left
and right hinged appliances without the risk of door opening collision.

Ensure that the Monolith appliances are installed in such a way that the
doors do not interfere with any adjacent wall or any kitchen element.

The cut out width for the Side-by-Side combinations is defined by adding the single width of each of the models
considered in the combination. Below you can find the cut outs for 42", 48" and 54" niches.

cabinets

32 33

Monolith appliances can be installed Side-by-Side within separate
cabinets. If the panel between the cabinet is less than 3/4" (19 mm)
a Side-by-Side heater kit is required. The heater must be ordered
separately.

When dimensioning the cabinet, include the thickness of the door panel
and handle, in order to prevent any door opening collision (see page 35,
Door Clearance Requirements).

A minimum partition of 6" (154 mm) width is required to ensure that
handles to not collide when doors are opened centered towards each
other or facing each other.

Ensure that the Monolith appliances are installed so the doors have
clearance

from any adjacent wall or kitchen element.

This is the point where the power cord exits from the appliance rear, 3/4" (19 mm) from the left and 5" (127 mm) from the floor. Free length of the power cord is 98" (2.5 m).

C

The appliance has a recess in this area for cable and waterline laying. 1" (25 mm) in depth and 5 ½" (140 mm) in height over the whole width of the appliance.

D

This surface is visible when the appliance door is open. Designed finish is required.

Toe Kick and
Ventilation Requirements

Door Clearance Requirements

All Monolith ventilation takes place through the Toe
Kick area. Door panels must be a minimum of 4" above
the floor. Do not block grill in Toe Kick area.

Liebherr offers a 4" (102 mm) tall Toe Kick matching
the width of the Monolith columns, and possible Side­by-Side combinations, as an accessory. Please refer
to page 27 for Toe Kick accessories ranging from 18"
to 54" width.

The Monolith appliance comes with dividers that must
be installed on the appliance and onto the door, in
order to separate the warm exhaust air from the fresh
incoming air.

It is fundamental that the Monolith appliances are
installed so the doors (including handles) and adjacent
cabinets, countertops, walls, or other kitchen elements
do not collide with one another when doors open.

In case of door collision, a door limitation of 90° may
be used. Please refer to the User Manual on how to
limit the door opening.

Additional solutions include:

• Reduce the door panel thickness if it is larger
than 3/4" (19 mm).

• Rearrange the element that is colliding with the
appliance.

• Use a bumper or stopper to prevent the door from
damaging the adjoining wall or cabinet.
