* Depending on model and options
Risk of fire due to refrigerant.
The refrigerant contained within the appliance, R 600a, is
environmentally friendly, but flammable. Leaking refrig-
erant can ignite.
u Do not damage the pipes of the refrigerant circuit.
WARNING
Danger of fire and damage!
u Do not place devices that give off heat, e.g. micro-
waves, toasters, etc. on the appliance.
NOTICE
Risk of damage caused by condensation
Installing the appliance next to any other refrigerator or
freezer can cause condensation or damage to the Lieb-
herr appliance.
u 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!
u Protect the finished floor surface before you uncrate the
unit.
WARNING
Danger of damage from overheating. May restrict opera-
tion.
u Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure
or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
WARNING
Danger of tilting.
u To avoid a hazard due to instability of the appliance, it
must be fixed in accordance with the instructions.
q If possible, have a professional install the appliance in
your kitchen cabinet unit.
q If the appliance is damaged check with the supplier
immediately before connecting it.
q The floor of the installation site must be horizontal and
level.
q Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or next to
an oven, heater or similar heat source.
q Do not install the appliance on your own. It is better to
do this with two or more people.
q In accordance with EN 378 for each 0.28 oz (8 g) of R
600a refrigerant the room where the appliance is
installed must have a volume of 35.5 ft3 (1 m3). If the
installation room is too small an inflammable gas/air
mixture may arise if the refrigerant circuit leaks. You will
find details of the required quantity of refrigerant on the
rating plate inside the appliance.
q If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment
condensate water may form on the outside of the appli-
ance. Always ensure good ventilation.
q The load-bearing capacity of the floor must be sufficient
for the weight of the appliance plus about 1200 pounds
(544 kg) of food weight.
q The electrical socket must assessed precisely to
ensure the correct position and fuse.
q Do not restrict ventilation. Sufficient ventilation is
required for the appliance to operate correctly. The
ventilation grid fitted at the factory guarantees an effec-
tive ventilation gap on the appliance of 31 in.2
(200 cm2). If you replace the ventilation grid with a
fascia, this must have at least the same size or larger
ventilation gap as the manufacturer's ventilation grid.
u Note down the type (model, number), appliance name,
appliance or serial number, date of purchase and
manufacturer's address in the place provided for this in
the Use & Care Manual.
u Remove all materials that could prevent it from being
installed properly or prevent proper ventilation from the
back or the side panels of the appliance.
u Remove the red transport
safety device. Close off any
holes
that
have
been
revealed with plugs (60).
After installation:
u Remove protective films, adhesive tapes and transport
safety devices, etc.
Note
u Clean the appliance (see operating instructions,
"Cleaning the appliance" section).

u For side-by-side installation of two
appliances next to each other
install each appliance in its own
kitchen cabinet.
u Check the wall thickness of adjacent cabinets: It must
be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm).
u Only install the appliance in solid, fixed kitchen cabi-
nets. Ensure that the cabinets cannot tip over.
u Align the cabinets with a spirit level and a try square. If
necessary level them by putting something underneath
them.
u Ensure that the floor and the side panels of the cabinet
are at right angles to each other.
6 Cabinet door
- A door is required for the kitchen cabinet.
Appliance dimensions

* Depending on model and options
- The door must be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm) and no more
than 3/4 in. (19 mm) thick.
- There must be a gap of at least 1/8 in. (3 mm) between
the door and the cupboard door above it (if there is
one).
- The width of the cabinet door depends on the style of
the kitchen and the size of the gap between the door
panels of the cupboard. Normally a vertical gap of
1/8 in. (3 mm) should be left between the cabinet
doors.
- If there are other cabinets the top edge of the cabinet
door should be at the same height as the doors on the
adjacent cabinets.
- The cabinet door must be assembled flat and free from
tension.
NOTICE
An excessively heavy unit door can cause potential
damage!
If the unit door is too heavy, we cannot rule out damage to
the hinges, which may compromise the use of the unit.
u Before installing the unit door, ensure the door does not
exceed the permissible weight.
