Planning Information
Area Requirements
Verify the following:
• Floors can support appliance’s weight plus approximately
1200 pounds (544 kg) of food weight.
• Finished kitchen fl oor height is level. Refrigerator must be
shimmed to the fl oor 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 specifi c
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.
IMPORTANT
Do not operate the appliance outside the specifi ed ambient
temperature range.
• Refrigerant circuits are tested for leaks.
• The appliances complies with current safety regulations

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.
The power plug must be easily accessible so that the appliance
can be disconnected quickly in an emergency. It should not be
behind the appliance. In case the plug must to be located
behind the appliance, we recommend the receptacle located
a maximum of 6" from the fl oor.
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 fi re, 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 diff erent based
on whether or not the supplied Liebherr water fi lter is installed.
With the fi lter installed, the pressure must be in the range
of 40–90 psi (2.8–6.2 bar). Without the fi lter 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 fi lter 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 fi lter located in the front base of the product.
Water fi lters must be replaced periodically. An alarm in the
Infi nitySwipe will indicate when the water fi lter 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
by equipment or water lines between the solenoid valve and
the water supply.
