Side-by-Side Combinations

General Information

Liebherr appliances are designed for various installation types. It is crucial to only combine appliances that are specifically designed for side-by-side configurations. This ensures proper functionality and avoids issues like condensation buildup.

Important Note: Appliances must be combined with a Side-by-Side kit to ensure proper attachment and a finished look. Some models include a heating blanket on the side opposite the handle to prevent condensation when units are placed together.

Model Combinations and Kits

The following table outlines compatible side-by-side combinations and their required Side-by-Side (SBS) kits:

Note on Condensation Prevention: Only specific models can be combined for side-by-side installations while maintaining original door opening. These models feature a heating blanket on the side opposite the handle to prevent condensation when units are attached.

Top Ventilation Grills

Various top ventilation grills are available to complete the installation, especially for semi built-in configurations. These grills attach to the cabinetry, not the appliance itself.

Ventilation Grill Width Adjustments: Grills can be adjusted using clip-on end caps to fit various niche widths, typically ranging from 47 5/8" to 48 3/8".

Planning Information

Area Requirements

• Floors must support the appliance weight plus approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food.
• Finished kitchen floor height must be level. Appliances may need to be shimmed or leveled to ensure air vents are not obstructed.
• Ensure no obstructions are present on rear or side walls that could impede appliance opening.
• Verify cutout dimensions are accurate.
• Confirm electrical outlet is in the correct location.
• Maximum appliance height: 87.5" (2223 mm).

Safety Regulations

• Appliances are designed for cooling, freezing, food storage, and ice making.
• Operate appliances within specified ambient temperature limits based on climate rating (SN, N, ST, T, SN-ST, SN-T).
• Do not install Liebherr appliances next to non-Liebherr refrigeration units, as this can cause condensation or damage due to differing heating systems.

Important Notes

• Allow the appliance to stand for 1 hour before connecting electricity to allow refrigerant and lubrication systems to stabilize.
• Do not operate the appliance outside the specified ambient temperature range.
• Refrigerant circuits are tested for leaks.
• Appliances comply with current safety regulations (UL, CAN/CSA standards).

Electrical Requirements & Safety

• A 15 amp or 20 amp, 110-120 VAC, grounded circuit protected by a circuit breaker or fuse is required.
• Using a dedicated circuit for each appliance is recommended to prevent overload and interruptions.
• The appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) polarized plug for shock protection.
• The power plug must be easily accessible for quick disconnection in emergencies and should not be placed behind the appliance.
• Comply with National Electrical Code and local codes for receptacle installation.

WARNING:

• Electrical grounding is required.
• Do not remove the grounding prong.
• Do not use extension cords or ungrounded adapters.
• Do not use a frayed or damaged power cord.
• Do not use a power strip.
• Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, or death.

WARNING: The refrigerant R600a is environmentally friendly but flammable. Leaking refrigerant can ignite. Designed ventilation is required to prevent ignition.

InfinitySpring (Internal Water Dispenser) and IceMaker

• The appliance's water connection and inlet solenoid valve are suitable for water pressure up to 1 Mpa (10 bar).
• Ensure water pressure is maintained.
• Water must be supplied via a cold water pipe connected to the drinking water supply that can withstand operating pressure.
• Use a 1/4" OD copper pipe for connection; a connector is supplied.
• A water softener is recommended for hard water, and a filter is required if water contains solids.
• All water supply equipment must comply with current geographical regulations.

Safety Instructions and Warnings:

• Do not attach the water source while the appliance is connected to an electrical outlet.
• Install a shut-off valve between the hose line and the main water supply, not behind the appliance.
• Water supply connections must be made by a trained and licensed plumber.
• Water quality must comply with local drinking water regulations.
• The IceMaker is designed for household ice cube production only and must be operated with appropriate water.
• Repairs on the IceMaker should only be performed by Customer Service or trained personnel.
• The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by equipment or water lines between the solenoid valve and the water supply.

Ventilation Requirements

• For integrated appliances, ensure sufficient ventilation. Spacing fins on the back of the appliance are crucial for this.
• Larger ventilation gaps generally lead to better energy savings. A gap of 1 1/2 inch (38 mm) between the appliance rear and the wall is suggested for optimal energy consumption.
• Do not restrict airflow. A minimum cross-sectional airflow of 31 in² (200 cm²) is required for both inlet (1) and outlet (2).
• Top ventilation space can be achieved by:
• A. Directly over the appliance (2) with a gap between the unit ceiling and the cabinet.
• B. Above the cabinet and below the ceiling (3).
• C. Through a vent in a soffit (4).
• Adjust leveling legs as needed to ensure appliance levelness, which may affect airflow.
• The appliance is designed for proper airflow when installed against a wall.

Mounting Wall Spacers: Spacers mounted on the rear sides of the appliance increase depth by approx. 5/8 in (15mm) to improve energy consumption and prevent condensate water formation in enclosed niches. The appliance functions without spacers but may consume slightly more energy.
