  • The door must close properly.
  • The unit door must not touch the body of the unit.
  • The seal on the upper corner on the handle side must be fitted securely.

Dimensions
Depending on your model, you will need one or two cabinet doors. The size of the cabinet door(s) depends on the overall recess size and cabinet unit thickness.
Note
Observe the appliance and recess dimensions and follow the installation diagrams (see 3 Appliance dimensions)(see 4 Recess dimensions) . See the relevant catalogue for the installation diagrams.

General requirements:

• Please refer to our catalogues for appliance-specific recom-mendations on size and weight for fixed door installations.
• The cabinet unit thickness should be at least 16 mm and no bigger than 19 mm.
• When mounting a 2-door cabinet door, observe the recom-mended clearances.

Another cabinet door above, below or next to it:

• Vertical gap between cabinet doors must be 4 mm.
• Horizontal gap between cabinet doors must be 4 mm. Check the collision factors here (see 15.3 Setting the clearance to avoid collision) .

Weight and hinges:

• Heavy cabinet fronts increase the stress on the hinge. The hinge may be damaged. As such, refer to the catalogue for the maximum weight specification for your appliance.
• If the cabinet front exceeds the maximum permitted weight, an appliance with door-tracking device can help by loading the weight over several concealed hinges on the cabinet.
• If you have long cabinet fronts that protrude a long way above the appliance, we recommend an additional door hinge (e.g. Kamat), which by design has the same pivot point as the fixed door hinge used by Liebherr appliances. Using an additional hinge (Kamat) loads the weight over multiple points. We recommend using a milled adapter fitting for high cabinet fronts to counteract any dragging (convex/concave).

Mounting the cabinet front(s)

When installing, note:

• The cabinet front must be installed symmetrically to the refriger-ator door.
• The adjoining cabinet front is exactly level.
• The adjoining cabinet front has the same edge radius as the front of the appliance.
• Cabinet front is flat and tension-free.
• Cabinet front is adjusted to a minimum depth of approx.2 mm to the unit body.
• Fit the appliance into the recess (see 14 Installing the appli-ance in the recess) .
• Attach the cabinet front to the appliance door (see 14 Instal-ling the appliance in the recess) .
• Check the cabinet front does not collide with anything (see 15.3 Setting the clearance to avoid collision) .

Setting the clearance to avoid
collision
After installing the cabinet front(s), check that the cabinet fronts do not collide.

1. Front thickness (FD)
2.  Edge radius (R)
3. Clearance (S)

Note
When making adjustments, always make sure that the cabinet front suits the general appearance.

Check the collision factors and adjust them accordingly:

• Determine the front thickness and edge radius.
• Refer to the table for the min./max. clearance dimensions.
• Check the clearance size against the table.
• Do one of the following depending on the measured clear-ance size.

Water tank
Depending on your model, the InfinitySpring water tank is behind the lowest drawer in the fridge or BioFresh compart-ment
Inserting the water tank

• Remove the drawer compartment.
• Insert the water tank and rotate approx. 90° clockwise until it clicks in.
• Check that the tank is sealed and no water leaks out.
