Only install, connect and dispose of the appli-
ance according to the instructions. Take
particular note of “Recess dimensions” (see 5)
and “Ventilation of the kitchen unit” (see 6) .
-
The socket must be easily accessible so that
the appliance can be quickly disconnected
from the supply in an emergency. It must be
outside the area of the rear of the appliance.

2 Transporting the appliance
CAUTION
Risk of injury and danger of damage as a result of incorrect
transport!
u
Transport the appliance in a packed condition.
u
Transport the appliance upright.
u
Do not transport the appliance without assistance.
3 Installing the appliance
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.
u
Stand the appliance so that it is not touched by connectors
or main cables.
u
Do not plug the appliance or any others into sockets located
near the rear of the appliance.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to dampness!
If live parts or the mains lead become damp this may cause
short circuits.
u
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.
u
Only use the appliance when it is installed.
WARNING
Fire hazard due to refrigerant!
The coolant used is eco-friendly but also flammable. Any
leaking coolant may ignite.
u
Do not damage the piping of the refrigeration circuit.
WARNING
Fire hazard and danger of damage!
u
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!
u
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:*
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to condensate!
u
Do not install the appliance directly alongside a further
refrigerator/freezer.
General safety information
2 * Depending on model and options
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to condensation!*
When stacking multiple appliances there is a risk of conden-
sation damage.
Your EG.. up to a height of 880 mm is fitted with an overhead
heating system.
u
Do not stack refrigerators or freezers unless the bottom
appliance is your Liebherr-EG... model up to a height of 880
mm.
q
In the event that the appliance is damaged, contact the
supplier immediately before connecting to the mains.
q
The floor at the site must be flat and level.
q
Do not install the appliance in a location where it is exposed
to direct radiation of the sun, next to a cooker, heater and
similar.
q
Do not install the appliance without assistance.
q
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.
q
Fit the appliance in stable kitchen units only.
q
The following ventilation gaps must be observed:
•
The depth of the ventilation channel at the rear of the unit
must be at least 38 mm.
•
At least 200 cm
2
is required for the ventilation gap cross
sections in the plinth and the housing cabinet.
•
Basically the principle applies: the larger the ventilation
space, the more energy-saving the appliance is in opera-
tion.
u
Detach the connecting cable from the rear of the appliance,
removing the cable holder at the same time because other-
wise there will be vibratory noise!
After installation:
u
Remove the protective film from the decorative trims.
u
Remove all transit supports.
u
Dispose of packaging material (see 11) .
Note
u
Clean the appliance .
If the appliance is installed in a very damp environment,
condensate may form on the outside of the appliance.
u
Always see to good ventilation at the installation site.

a kitchen unit. The kitchen unit concerned must be built exactly
to the prescribed dimensions and allow for sufficient ventilation,
both at air inlet and outlet, to ensure proper appliance opera-
tion.

The specified energy consumption applies to a unit depth of
560 mm. The appliance will work properly at a unit depth of 550
mm, but at a slightly higher energy consumption.
u
Check the wall thickness of the adjoining units: the walls
must be at least 16 mm thick.
u
Only install the appliance in robust, stable kitchen units.
Secure the units against tipping.
u
Align the kitchen unit using a spirit level and marking square
and if necessary compensate with shims.
u
Ensure that the floor and walls of the unit are at right angles
to one another.
6 Ventilation of the kitchen unit

vent.
-
The principle applies that the larger the ventilation shaft, the
more energy-saving the operation of the appliance.
-
The depth of the ventilation shaft at the back of the unit must
be at least 38 mm.

-
The upper ventilation shaft can either be positioned directly
above the appliance with an optional ventilation grille

7 Changing over door hinges
WARNING
Risk of injury through door dropping out!
If the fastening components are not screwed in tightly enough,
the door may drop out. This can lead to serious injury. What is
more, the door may also not close fully, so that the appliance
may not refrigerate properly.
u
Screw the bottom and top turn hinges tightly into place (with
4 Nm).
There is a risk of injury during this stage! Please
observe the safety instructions!
The instructions apply to several models. Only carry
out this step if it is relevant for your appliance.
Choose between the alternatives given.
Loosen the screws only, do not undo them all the way.
Check the screws and tighten if necessary.
