Setting up
• Donotplacetheapplianceindirectsunlightor
near cookers, radiators and similar sources of
heat.
• Theflooronwhichtheappliancestandsshould
be horizontal and level.
•
Do not cover ventilation openings or
grilles.
• Standard EN378 specifies that the room in
which you install your appliance must have a
volume of 1 m
3
per 8 g of R 600a refrigerant used
in the appliance, so as to avoid the formation of
inflammable gas/air mixtures in the room where the appliance
is located in the event of a leak in the refrigerant circuit. The
quantity of refrigerant used in your appliance is indicated on
the type plate on the inside of the appliance.
Electrical connection
Only operate the appliance with alternating current (AC).
The permissible voltage and frequency are indicated on the
type plate. The position of the type plate is shown in the section
entitled Description of the appliance (Operating instructions).
The socket must be properly earthed and protected by a fuse.
The tripping current of the fuse must be between 10 A and 16 A.
Do not connect the appliance using an extension cable or exten-
sion socket.
Do not use stand-alone inverters (conversion
of direct current to alternating current/three-
phase current) or energy-saving plugs. Risk
of damage to the electronic control system!
Note to the installer
It is very important to follow the instructions in the manual to
ensure proper installation and operation of the appliance.
Before installing the appliance, be sure to thoroughly read and
understand all of the information in this manual.

Important note for changing over door hinges
or limiting the door opening angle to 90°
Changing the door hinges or limiting the door opening angle to
90° should only be carried out by a trained expert.
The door hinges are fitted with strong closing springs. If the hinge
accidentally snaps shut, this can lead to serious injury.
The door itself is very heavy. Do not try to remove the door yourself.
Contact the Liebherr customer service department for more
information. See contact details on the back of this manual.
