C 16/CI 16

Area Requirements

Verify the following:

• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus

approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food

weight.

• Finish kitchen floor height is level. Refrigerator

must be shimmed to the floor level if the floor

heights are not equal to make sure air vents are

not obstructed.

• Remove anything attached to rear or side walls

that can obstruct refrigerator opening.

• Cutout dimensions are accurate.

• Electrical outlet is in correct location.

Do not install this unit next to another refrigerator or

freezer.This is important to prevent condensation

or consequential damage from another unit.

Electrical Requirement

If codes require a separate grounding circuit to be

used, have a qualified electrician install the circuit.

Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a

qualified electrician if you are not sure the

appliance is properly grounded. Do not

have a fuse in the neutral or grounding

circuit.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

• Electrically ground refrigerator.

• Do not use an extension cord.

• Failure to follow these instructions

could result in fire or electrical shock.

!

WARNING

!

WARNING

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

Electrical Grounding Required.This

appliance is equipped with a three-prong

(grounding) polarized plug for your

protection against possible shock hazards.

•

DO NOT remove the round grounding

prong from the plug.

•

DO NOT use a two-prong grounding

adapter.

•

DO NOT use an extension cord to

connect power to the unit.

Customer’s Responsibility

A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp (20 Amp for side-by-side

installation) fused electrical supply is required.We

recommend using a dedicated circuit for this

appliance to prevent electrical overload. Follow the

National Electrical Code and local codes and

ordinances when installing the receptacle.

Blocking For Safety

The anti-tip brackets must be installed to prevent

the unit from tipping after it is installed. Refer to

Blocking For Safety.

Unit Venting

DO NOT restrict the air flow. Air flow must be

provided for the unit to operate.The factory air

vents provide 31 square inches (200 cm

2

) of air

flow. If you are replacing the factory air vents with

an overlay, the air flow must be the same or greater

than the factory air vents.

Reversing the Door Hinges

If the hinges and door handles are reversed, you

must obtain the Reverse Set.The Reverse Set is

not included with the unit. Contact your Liebherr

retailer, only for CI 16 unit.The door handles must

be installed before the screw covers are installed. If

you fail to install the handles before the screw

covers, you can damage the covers.The screw

covers are taped to the unit door during shipping.

Use care when removing the covers.

LOCATION

Allow units to open a minimum of 90° to prevent

problems removing drawers.With the door opening

90°, you may have to move drawers slightly to clear

the door interior.

Refer to the minimum door clearances in the Pre-

Installation Specifications chart.

• Allow for a minimum 2" (5.08 cm) filler, for corner

installations, so the door can open to 90°. If

you’re using raised panels, consider using a

wider filler.

• Use a filler strip when units are installed side by

side.The width of this filler strip will vary

depending on the configuration and panels used.

• Be sure to add the filler strip width to the finished

rough-in dimension. In any side by side

installation, add an additional 1/2" (1.27 cm) to

the combined numbers.

IMPORTANT

Refer to the scaled illustrations at the end of

this section for specifics on door openings

and filler size alternatives.

Framed Panels

If the thickness of the custom panels is less than

1/4" (0.635 cm), they must be backed up with a

sheet of shim material to build the total thickness to

1/4" (0.635 cm). If the panel is thicker than 1/4"

(0.635 cm), an edge must be routed around the

panel to ensure a proper fit.

Overlay Panels

The overlay design line allows decorative panels to

cover the door trim for a more seamless

appearance that blends with the design of the

room.To achieve this look, the most common way

is to work with three panels, the decorative overlay

panel, a 0.10" (0.25 cm) spacer panel and a 1/4"

(0.635 cm) backer panel.

BLOCKING FOR SAFETY

1. Secure the refrigerator in place so it does not tip

forward when the fully stocked door is opened.

2. Measure the distance from the floor to the upper

edge of the unit.

3. Locate and mark two wall studs against the wall

where the refrigerator will be located.The space

between the unit top and the bottom of the

brackets must not be more than 1/4" (0.635 cm).

4. Make sure the screws extend a minimum of 1"

(2.54 cm) into each of the wall studs.

5. Make sure the anti-tip brackets extend at least 3"

(7.62 cm) over the unit and are securely in place.

IMPORTANT

The anti-tip brackets can be installed in either

direction or closer together. Always position

the anti-tip brackets as wide apart as

possible, but make sure they are anchored to

two studs.

6. Using the front and rear levelers, raise the unit

until it makes contact with the brackets. Make

sure the front levelers are firmly on the floor to

prevent appliance from tipping forward.

IMPORTANT

If your unit is positioned in between the wall

studs, a board can be secured to the wall.

Make sure the board is secured to the studs

with screws that will penetrate into the studs a

minimum 1" (2.54 cm).The board should be a

minimum of 1" x 6" (2.54 cm x 15.24 cm) and

long enough to secure both ends to the wall

studs.
