Design Guide

General Remarks
III. Area Requirements
Verify the following:
• Finished kitchen floor height is level. Refrigerator must
be shimmed to the floor level, or levelled, to make
sure, air vents are not obstructed.
• Remove anything attached to the rear or side walls
that can obstruct refrigerator opening.
• Cutout 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 side by side installation. They are
equipped with a heating system to eliminate condensa-
tion 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.
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 system lubri-
cation to reach equilibrium.
II. Electrical Requirements & Safety
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 10 Amp (15 Amp for side-by-side
installation) fused electrical supply is required. We rec-
ommend using a dedicated circuit for these appliances
to prevent electrical overload. Comply with the National
Electrical Code as well as local codes and ordinances
when installing the receptacle.
Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are not sure the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not have
a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Electrical Grounding Required. This
appliance is equipped with a three-
prong(grounding) polarized plug for your
protection against possible shock hazards.
• Do not remove the round grounding
prong from the plug.
• Do not use a two-prong grounding
adapter.
• Do not use an extension cord to connect
power to the unit.
• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or
damaged.
