G uIdelInes

Area Requirements

Verify the following:

• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food weight.

• Finished kitchen floor height is level. Appliance must be shimmed level if the floor heights are not equal to make sure air vents are not obstructed.

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

• Cutout dimensions are accurate.

• Electrical outlet is in correct location.

Do not install this refrigerator-freezer next to any other refrigerator. Installing this refrigerator-freezer next to any other refrigerator or freezer can cause condensation or cause damage to the appliance.

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.

To protect the appliance 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.

Electrical Requirement

If codes require a separate grounding circuit to be used, have a qualified electrician install the circuit.

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.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

• Electrically ground appliance.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Failure to follow these instructions

could result in fire or electric shock.

Customer’s Responsibility

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp fused electrical supply is required. We recommend using a dedicated circuit for this appliance to prevent electrical overload.

Follow the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances when installing the receptacle.

Blocking for Safety

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

Refer to Blocking for Safety.

Unit Venting

Do not restrict the air flow. Air flow must be provided for the unit to operate.

IMPORTANT

For 24" cabinets, the water line opening must be in the location as shown in Figure 4 .

With cabinets deeper than 24", there is room to fit the pipe behind the appliance and the wall so there are no requirements for the water line lead out position.

IMPORTANT

The free length of the water supply line must be at least

31-1/2" (800 mm) when the tube comes out of the prescribed opening.

Mounting the anti tipping device on concrete floors

- Figure 7 - 8

Secure the appliance in place so it does not tip forward when the fully stocked door is opened. The anti tipping bracket is provided with the appliance.

1. Mark the center line of the appliance on the back wall. Align the anti tipping bracket center to this line.

Wall

Be sure that there is no plumbing or electrical wiring located in this area which screws or drills could damage.

2. Drill a 3/8" diameter hole in any position as shown in Figure 7 using a carbide drill bit.

The depth of the holes must exceed the overall length of the anchors provided.

Clean the holes after drilling.

3. Attach washer and screw on hex nut to the end of each anchor.

Drive in all 3 anchors.

Align the bracket center to the center line on the back wall again.

Fasten the anchors by turning the hex nut.

Figure 10 - 11

To ensure the compressor mounting plate reaches the anti tipping bracket in cabinets deeper than

24", a wooden spacer must be mounted between the appliance back and the wall. The anti tipping bracket will be fastened to the floor downwards and to the spacer backwards.

Cover strips

- Figure 12

Before connection to the water supply, the cover strips provided must be fitted to the appliance. It is necessary because the appliance will be moved into its recess.

• Remove the cover band from the strips and stick them to the left and right front edge of the appliance housing (Figure 12).

Be sure the wooden spacer is fastened securely to the floor.

IceMaker

The icemaker for the combined refrigerator-freezer is located in the freezer compartment. These instructions only refer to the installation of the icemaker. Please refer to the Use and Care Manual provided with the appliance for operation instructions. The combined refrigerator-freezer must be level for the icemaker to function properly.

Safety Instructions and Warnings

• Do not install the water connection while the combined refrigerator-freezer is connected to an electrical outlet.

• 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.

• All equipment and devices used to supply the water to the appliance must comply with the current regulations for your geographical area.

• The solenoid valve has a metric

R3/4 male connector. A R3/4

(metric) to a 1/4" OD adapter is supplied with the ice maker.

• Insert the water strainer provided into the OD adapter with the cavity downwards.

IMPORTANT

Be sure the strainer is inserted with the cavity downwards. Otherwise the strainer could be damaged when mounting the OD adapter onto the solenoid valve.

Connection to the Water Supply

1. Move the appliance towards the final position and leave enough space to work behind.

2. Insert the water supply line into it's intended opening at the back of the appliance (Figure 14).

Water Connection

• The water supply pressure requirements are different based on whether or not the supplied

Liebherr water filter is installed. With the filter installed, the pressure must be in the range of 40-90 psi (2.8-6.2 bar). Without the filter installed the acceptable pressure range is 22-87 psi (1.5-6 bar). Failure to meet these requirements will likely result in ice maker malfunction and possibly cause a water leakage that can damage flooring and surrounding furniture.

• Use a 1/4" OD copper line to connect the water supply to the solenoid valve. This is not supplied with the refrigerator (Figure 13).

• A shut-off valve, such as the saddle valve illustrated here, must be installed between Figure 13 the hose line and the main water supply so the water supply can be stopped if necessary.

Do not install the shut-off valve behind the refrigeration unit.

Figure 14

3. Move the power supply line to the area of the electrical outlet.

Do not connect to the electrical outlet before the installation is completed and the water line is connected to the solenoid valve.

4. Push the appliance slowly to the back wall until the compressor mounting plate makes contact with the anti-tipping bracket (Figure 15).

To prevent the appliance from tipping forward the compressor mounting plate must have contact with the anti tipping bracket (Figure 15).

6. The water line is visible at the front of the aplliance. Connect the water line with the OD adapter (Figure 16).

7. Bleed the air from the water line by opening the water supply temporarily.

8. Screw the OD adapter onto the solenoid valve

(Figure 17).

9. Open the shut-off valve for the water supply and check the entire water system for leaks.

IMPORTANT

After starting up the appliance, the water pipe system must be purged of any air. Refer to chapter "Bleeding the ice maker" in the operating instructions.
