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.

Electrical Requirements & Safety

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp 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:

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
