  • (C) 85-7/8″ (2182 mm)
  • (D) 80″ (2032 mm) *
    *NOTE
    The given cabinet opening height di-mension is such that it accommodates the ventilation requirements for the appliance. If you will be bringing the cabinet above or header of the open-ing down tight (no air space – refer to the section ‘Top Door Hinge Clear-ance’ later in this Design Guide) to the top of the appliance for a built-in look then you still must accommodate ventilation by some other means. The warm air from behind the appliance must be able to escape. Please refer to the section ‘Ventilation Require-ments’ further on in this Design Guide.

• The cabinet opening height is 84″ when using the deco-rative grille. The decorative grille is deliverable as acces-sory and is not required for proper operation of the ap-pliance. All ventilation requirements are handled through the toe kick grille on the appliance and this decorative grille is intended to be used as a filler for pre-existing 84″ openings.

• See chapter „Accessories for Liebherr Freestanding – Semi Built In Appliances“ page 17.
  NOTE
  The decorative upper grille attaches to the cabinets / gables on either side of it and not to the appliance itself nor any cabinet above.
  IMPORTANT!
  Do not attempt to fix or block the appliance into a cus-tom opening. In the event of service, the appliance must still be accessible to service personnel.

Ventilation Requirements
This type of cabinet must be carefully constructed using the correct dimensions and it must provide suitable ven-tilation to ensure proper appliance operation.

Kitchen Cabinet Airflow

• The following ventilation dimensions must be observed:

• There must be a ventilation space at least 31 in.² (200 cm²) per appliance at the airflow inlet (1) and at the air-flow outlet (2).

• The top ventilation space can be directed in one of the following ways:

  • A) Directly over the appliance (2) with a gap between the ceiling of the unit and the cabinet.

  • B) Above the cabinet and below the ceiling (3).

  • C) Through a vent installed in a soffit (4).
    NOTE

  • The appliance ships with bumpers on the back of it to allow the appliance to be pushed up against the wall behind it and still provide optimal air flow for ventilation.

  • The refrigerator is designed to allow proper air flow when the appliance is installed up against the wall.

  • A minimum space of 1 1/2″ (38mm) is required behind any cabinet above the appliance if ventilating above that cabinet.
    IMPORTANT!
    Do not block the toe kick ventilation grille with a molding. Intake ventilation is just as important as exhaust ventila-tion. The appliance relies on natural convection to cool the condenser mounted on the back. Improper ventila-tion will lead to performance issues, shorter lifespan of the appliance and will likely void warranty coverage for any service issues resulting from incorrect installation.

Top Door Hinge Clearance CS 13.. – SBS 26S1
When installing CS units into a row of cabinets or wall units; use these dimensions to achieve a custom look with the cabinetry while providing the necessary clear-ance for the top door hinge.
NOTE
It is good practice to leave some room for height adjust-ment of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.

Top Door Hinge Clearance CS1200
When installing CS units into a row of cabinets or wall units; use these dimensions to achieve a custom look with the cabinetry while providing the necessary clear-ance for the top door hinge.
NOTE
It is good practice to leave some room for height adjust-ment of the appliance to accommodate uneven floors.
