! WARNING
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Electrical Grounding Required. This appli-
ance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) polarized plug for your protec-
tion 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.
Customer’s Responsibility
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp (20 Amp for side-by-
side installation) 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 ordi-
nances when installing the receptacle.
Blocking For Safety
The anti-tip 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 pro-
vided for the unit to operate. The factory air vents
provide 31 square inches (200 cm²) of air flow per
unit. If you are replacing the factory air vents with
an overlay, the air flow must be the same or greater
than the factory air vents.
Area Requirements
Verify the following:
• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus
approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food
weight.
• Finished kitchen floor height has to be level.
Appliance must be shimmed to the floor 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 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 instal-
lation. 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.
Electrical Requirement
If codes require a separate grounding circuit to be
used, have a qualified electrician install the circuit.
! WARNING
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.
! WARNING
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• Electrically ground refrigerator.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire or electrical shock.
