The appliance at a glance
1.2 Overview
1.3 Range of appliance use
The appliance is only suitable for refrigerating
food in a domestic environment or an environ-
ment that is similar to a domestic one. This
includes, for example, use
-
-
-
in staff kitchens, bed and breakfast establish-
ments,
by guests in country houses, hotels, motels
and other accommodation facilities,
for catering and similar services in wholesale
premises
Only use the appliance in a normal domestic
setting. No other types of use are permissible.
The appliance is not suitable for storing and
refrigerating medicines, blood plasma, labora-
tory preparations or similar substances and
products referred to in CMDCAS and FDA 510
(k). Misuse of the appliance may lead to damage
to or spoiling of the goods stored. In addition the
appliance is not suitable for operating in areas at
risk of explosions.
The appliance is set to operate within specific
ambient temperature limits according to its
climate rating. The climate rating for your appli-
ance is printed on the rating plate.
Note
Compliance with the specified ambient
temperatures is required, otherwise the refrig-
eration performance is reduced.

lation openings or grilles.
Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or next to
an oven, heater, or similar heat source.
Energy consumption depends on installation conditions
Avoid opening the appliance door for any longer then
neccesary.
The manufacturer is not liable for damage
arising from incorrect connection to the water
supply.*
Risk of fire:
-
The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy
consumption.
Do not operate the appliance near explosive
gases.
All food stored in the appliance should be well wrapped
and covered. This prevents frost buildup.
Only take food out for as long as necessary so that it
does not get too warm.
-
Do not store explosive materials or spray cans
with flammable propellants, such as e.g.
butane, propane, pentane, etc. in the appli-
ance. You can recognize such spray cans by
the printed contents or a flame symbol. Any
leaking gasses can be ignited by electrical
components.
Storing hot food: let it cool to room temperature first.
Defrost frozen food in the fridge.

Danger of suffocation from packaging materials and films!
Do not install this appliance next to any other refriger-
ator 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 refrigerators or freezers are
installed side-by-side.

The cause of a temperature being too high may be:
Hot fresh food was placed in the appliance.
When sorting and removing food from the appliance,
too much warm ambient air got in.

u
-
The power was cut off for a while.
-
-
Foods which give off a large amount of ethylene gas
and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit,
vegetables and salad, should always be separated or
wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for
example, do not store tomatoes together with kiwi fruits
or cabbage.
The appliance is faulty.
