Mounting the Anti Tipping Device – Figures 8 – 11

WARNING! · The anti tipping bracket must be mounted to
prevent the appliance from tipping when the fully stocked door is opened. · Be sure that there is no plumbing or electrical wiring located in this area which screws or drills could damage.
Mounting Options

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.
2. Depending on the constitution of the floor and wall, use any possible mounting option as shown in Figures 8 – 11.
IMPORTANT The anti tipping bracket must be fitted at the same height as the toe kick area. If you set the appliance to a higher level by laying spacers underneath, the anti tipping bracket must be fitted accordingly.

Mounting the Anti Tipping Device in Cabinets deeper than 24″ – Figures 12 – 13
A proper function of the anti tipping bracket is warranted within a cabinet depth of between 24″ and 25″. If the cabinet is deeper than 25″, a wooden spacer must be mounted between appliance and wall.
WARNING!
Be sure the wooden spacer is fastened securely to the floor.

Cover Strips – Figure 14
Apply cover strips above, between and below the securing plates on the side walls of the appliance.
Cut the cover strips to the length shown in Figure 14.
Fit the adhesive cover strips leaving a gap of 1/4″ to each securing plate. This ensures problem-free fitting of the covers.

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.
· All equipment and devices used to supply the water to the appliance must comply with the current regulations for your geographical area.
WARNING! Connect to potable water supply only.
Water Connection Requirements
· 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.
· A shut-off valve, must be installed between the hose line and the main water supply so the water supply can be stopped if necessary.
IMPORTANT Do not install the shut-off valve behind the appliance.

Water Connection Adapter – Figure 15
IMPORTANT Only use the supplied adapter for connection to the solenoid valve. The solenoid valve has a metric R3/4 male connector. Any attempt to use other adapters for connection could damage the thread on the solenoid valve.
The supplied adapter enables different connection options for different kinds of water lines. A water line is not supplied with the appliance.
IMPORTANT Do not use any old or already premounted water supply lines.

The connection to the valve connector can be done with or without the angle connector, as required.
Braided style ice maker hoses can be connected directly to the threaded ends.
For connection with 1/4″ OD copper lines, use the union nut with compression ring.
IMPORTANT Make sure that the connection is fitted with a seal and is tight.

· Insert the water strainer supplied into the

valve connector (Figure 16).
