Toe Kick and 
Ventilation Requirements
All Monolith ventilation takes place through the Toe 
Kick area. Door panels must be a minimum of 4" above 
the fl oor. Do not block grill in Toe Kick area. 
Liebherr off ers a 4" (102 mm) tall Toe Kick matching 
the width of the Monolith columns, and possible 
Side-by-Side combinations, as an accessory. 
Please refer to page 35 for Toe Kick accessories 
ranging from 18" to 72" 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.
Door Clearance Requirements
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 the door hits the wall or other cabinetry, 
a door limiter of 90° is available, please contact 
an authorized Liebherr service provider.
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.
