Liebherr's Commitment to the Environment

The components of Liebherr products can be recycled when the necessary resources are applied. A concern for the environment and a desire to protect resources has lead to increased levels of recycling year after year. When

Liebherr manufactures products, it is essential that the recyclable recovery rate of the materials we use constantly increases.

Recycling is a common goal among all manufacturers, municipalities and recycling companies to protect our environment. Protecting the environment and producing products which have a low impact on the environment, is one of Liebherr's core values. Whether you are replacing a unit or starting fresh, remember to dispose of your old appliance in an environmentally safe and friendly manner.

. IceMaker (if equipped)

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp (20 Amp for side-by-side installation) fused electrical supply is required. Connect undercounter wine cabinet to a 115 VAC, 10 amp (15

Amp for side-by-side installations) circuit that is controlled by a circuit breaker or fuse.

We recommend 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.

The power cord is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against possible shock hazards. To maintain this protection:

The icemaker is located in the freezer compartment.

It must be connected to the water supply to function properly. The appliance must be level for the icemaker to function properly.

The water pressure must be between 21.8-87.0 psi (1.5-6 bar).

Use a 1/4" OD copper line to connect the water supply to the solenoid valve. This is not supplied with the refrigerator.

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.

• Do not modify the plug by removing the round grounding prong.

• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or damaged.

Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a qualifi ed electrician if you are not sure the appliance is properly grounded. Do not have a fuse in the neutral or grounding circuit.

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 refrigeration unit.

• The connection to the water supply may only be made by a trained and licensed plumber.

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

Electrical Grounding Required. This appliance is equipped with a threeprong(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.

• 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.

. Safety Regulations

Verify the following:

• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food weight. Not all Liebherr products are designed for 1200 pounds

(544 kg) of food. Some units are smaller and total weights may vary.

The appliance complies with UL250 and CAN/CSA-C

22,2 No. 63 and is designed to cool, freeze, store food as well as make ice (if equipped). It is designed as a household appliance. If used commercially, the relevant regulations on commercial use must be observed.

• Finished kitchen fl oor height is level. Refrigerator must be shimmed to the fl oor level, or levelled, to make sure, air vents are not obstructed.

The appliance is set to operate within specifi c ambient temperature limits according to its climate rating. These temperature limits should not be exceeded. The correct climate rating for your appliance is indicated on the model plate.

• Remove anything attached to the rear or side walls that can obstruct refrigerator opening.

This is explained as follows:

• 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 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.

- The refrigerant circuit has been tested for leaks.

To protect the refrigerator from possible damage, allow the appliance to stand 1/2 to

1 hour in place before turning the electricity on. This allows the refrigerant and system lubrication to reach equilibrium.

Blocking For Safety

The anti-tip brackets must be installed to prevent the unit from tipping after it is installed.

Kitchen cabinet setup for the water fi lter

To ensure optimum water quality for the production of ice cubes (only CS 1360) an external water fi lter module is available as an accessory.

It should be installed near the appliance in the cabinet, for example, in the adapter cabinet above the appliance.

To connect the fi lter to the appliance, it may be necessary to make an opening (C) in the fl oor of the adapter cabinet through which the hoses will be routed. The maximum length of the water hose is 98-7/16 ‘‘ (2.5 m). The fi lter cover must be in stalled during assembly to leave suffi cient space around the fi lter module.

The appliance can be integrated into the kitchen units.

To adapt the appliance to the height of the row of kitchen units, a suitable top cupboard can be fi tted above the appliance.

Unit Venting

DO NOT restrict the air fl ow. An air fl ow of at least 2" (50mm) must be provided. The opening can either be directly over the appliance or on the back of the cabinet on top of the unit (see ventilation requirements).

The CS models can be installed in standard 24" (609mm) deep cabinets. You will only have to make sure that the door swing clearance is enough. It is possible to push all CS models to the rear wall of the cabinet without modifi cation.

When installing the appliance next to a wall, a distance on the hinge side of 1 13/32 inches (36 mm) minimum is required between the appliance and the wall to allow for the door handle projection when the door is open.
