1.4 EPREL database
Details about energy labeling and ecodesign requirements will be available on the European product database (EPREL) from 1st March 2021. You can access the product database at the following link: https://eprel.ec.europa. eu/ You will be asked to enter the model ID. You can find the model ID on the nameplate.
1.5 External dimensions of the appliance

For appliances supplied with wall spacers, the measurement increases by 35 mm (see 4.2 Installing the appliance) .
1.6 Saving energy

• Pay attention to good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation holes or grids.
• Always keep the fan air slits clear.
• Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight, next to an oven, radiator, or similar.
• Energy consumption depends on the installation conditions, e.g. the ambient temperature (see 1.2 Appliance range of use) . A warmer ambient temperature can increase energy consumption.
• Open the appliance for as short a time as possible.
• The lower the temperature is set the higher the energy consumption.
• Sort your food: home.liebherr.com/food
• Keep all food properly packed and covered. This prevents frost from forming.
• Only take food out for as long as necessary so that it doesn’t warm up too much.
• Inserting warm food: allow to cool down to room temperature first. Dust deposits increase energy consumption:
• For refrigerators with heat exchangers dust the metal grid on the back of the appliance once a year.

4.1 Transporting the appliance
Transport the appliance only in suitable packaging.
Transport the appliance upright.
Do not transport the appliance on your own.
4.2 Installing the appliance
WARNING
Fire hazard due to dampness!
If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause short circuits.
The appliance is designed for use in enclosed areas. Do not operate the appliance outdoors or in areas where it is exposed to splash water or damp conditions.
WARNING
Risk of fire due to short circuit!
If the mains cable/connector of the appliance or of another appliance touch the rear of the appliance, the mains cable/ connector may be damaged by the appliance vibrations,  leading to a short circuit.
Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors or main cables.
Do not plug the appliance or any others into sockets located near the rear of the appliance.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to refrigerant!
The coolant used is eco-friendly but also flammable. Any leaking coolant may ignite.
Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.
WARNING
Fire hazard and danger of damage!
Do not place appliances emitting heat e.g. microwaves, toasters, etc. on the appliance!
WARNING
Blocked ventilation openings pose a risk of fire and damage!
Always keep the ventilation openings clear. Always ensure that the appliance is properly ventilated!

If your appliance is not a side-by-side (SBS) appliance:

• Before you connect the appliance, report any damage immediately to the delivery company.
• The floor of the installation site must be horizontal and even.
•  Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight, next to an oven, radiator or similar.
• Install the appliance with the rear panel up against the wall and always use the supplied wall spacers (see below).
• Only ever move the appliance when it is empty.
• The surface supporting the appliance must be at the same level as the surrounding floor.
• Do not install the appliance on your own.
• The more coolant there is in the appliance, the larger the room in which the appliance is installed must be. If the room is too small, any leak may create a flammable mixture of gas and air. For each 8 g of coolant, the installation space must be at least 1 m 3 . Information on the coolant is on the model plate inside the appliance.
  Detach the connecting cable from the rear of the appliance, removing the cable holder at the same time because otherwise there will be vibratory noise!
  Remove the protective film from the outside of the appliance.*

 Always keep the air slits of the fan free.
Store perishable foods such as ready-to-eat meals, meat, and sausages in the coldest area. Place butter and preserves in the top area and in the door. (see 1 Appliance at a  glance)
Use reusable plastic, metal, aluminum, glass containers and foil wrap to store food.
Always store raw meat and fish in clean, sealed containers on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, to prevent them from coming into contact with or dripping onto other foods.
Foods that easily absorb or give off smell or taste, as well as liquids, should be stored in sealed containers or covered.
Use the front area of the base shelf only to temporarily set down refrigerated foods, for example, while rearranging or sorting the contents. Remember not to leave refrigerated foods here as they could shift to the back or tip over when you close the door.
Do not pack foods too closely together, as the air needs to circulate.
5.5 Setting the temperature**
The temperature depends on the following factors:

• the frequency of opening the door
• how long the door is open for

Malfunctions

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life span and reliable operation. If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check whether it is due to a  handling error. In this case, you will have to be charged for the costs incurred, even during the warranty period. You may be able to rectify the following faults yourself:
Appliance does not work.
→ The appliance is not switched on.
Switching on the appliance.
→ The power plug is not properly inserted in the wall socket.
Check power plug.
→ The fuse of the wall socket is not in order.
Check fuse.
The compressor runs for a long time.
→ The compressor switches to a low speed when little cold is needed. Although the running time is increased as a result, energy is saved.
This is normal in energy-saving models.
→ SuperCool is activated.
The compressor runs for longer in order to rapidly cool the food. This is normal.
A LED on the bottom rear of the appliance (at the compressor) flashes regularly every 15 seconds.
→ The inverter is equipped with a diagnostic LED.
The flashing is normal.
Excessive noise.
→ Due to the various speed steps, speed-regulated compressors can generate different running noises.
The sound is normal.
A bubbling and gurgling noise.
→ This noise comes from the refrigerant flowing in the refrigeration circuit.
The sound is normal.
A quiet clicking noise.
→ The noise is produced whenever the refrigeration unit (motor) automatically switches on or off.
The sound is normal. A hum. It is briefly a little louder when the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on.
→ The refrigeration increases automatically when the SuperCool function is activated, fresh food has just been placed in the appliance or the door has been left open for a while.
  The sound is normal.
→ The ambient temperature is too high.
Solution: (see 1.2 Appliance range of use)
A low hum.
→ The sound is produced by airflow noise of the fan.
