1.5 Saving energy
-
Pay attention to good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation
holes or grids.
-
Always keep the fan air slits clear.
-
Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight, next to an
oven, radiator or similar.
-
Energy consumption depends on the installation condi‐
tions, e.g. the ambient temperature (see 1.2 Appliance
range of use) . A warmer ambient temperature can
increase the energy consumption.
-
Open the appliance for as short a time as possible.
-
The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy
consumption.
-
Keep all food properly packed and covered. This prevents
frost from forming.
-
Only take food out for as long as necessary so that it
doesn’t warm up too much.
-
Inserting warm food: allow to cool down to room temper‐
ature first.

You can set a slightly higher or lower temperature. The
temperature can be adjusted between b1 (coldest tempera‐
ture) and b9 (hottest temperature) The default is b5. With
levels b1 to b4 the temperature may drop below 0 ° C so
that the food can freeze.
u
Setting a higher temperature: Press the Up/Down
Fig. 2 (3) button until the temperature flashes on the
display. Release the button.
u
Setting a lower temperature: Press the Up/Down
Fig. 2 (3) button until the temperature flashes on the

w
The actual temperature is displayed about 5 seconds
after the last press of a button. The temperature slowly
adjusts to the new value.
5.6 Adjusting the humidity
The humidity in the appliance can be adjusted depending on
what type of food is placed inside.
The dry setting produces a dry atmosphere suitable for
storing dry or wrapped food (dairy products, meat, fish,
sausages). The appliance has the lowest energy consump‐
tion in this operating mode.
The hydro setting produces a humid atmosphere suitable
for storing unwrapped salad, vegetables and fruit with high
intrinsic moisture. When the drawers are well filled, a dewy
atmosphere with a humidity of up to 90% max. is estab‐
lished.
The humidity in the compartment depends on the moisture
content of the food stored and on the opening frequency.
dry is preset.
u
Setting hydro: Press the dry/
hydro Fig. 3 (4) button until the
symbol appears. Release the
button.
w
The dry/hydro Fig. 3 (5) symbol
lights up.

9 Disposal
9.1 Preparing appliance for disposal
Liebherr uses batteries in some of its appli‐
ances. In the EU, for environmental reasons,
legislation obliges the end user to remove
these batteries before disposing of old appli‐
ances. If your appliance contains batteries, a
corresponding notice is attached.
Lamps If you can remove the lamps yourself without
destroying them, also remove these before
disposal.
u
Take the appliance out of operation. (see 8.2 Taking the
appliance out of service)
u
Appliances with batteries: remove the batteries. For
description, see Maintenance chapter.
u
If possible: remove lamps without destroying them.
9.2 Disposing of the appliance in an
environmentally friendly manner
The appliance still contains
valuable materials and must
be disposed of separately from
unsorted municipal waste.
Dispose of batteries separately
from the old appliance. To do
