Use the appliance only for its intended purpose; the
storage of food products. Follow the cautions and
safety warnings throughout this instruction manual
including the following:
DANGER
!
• To prevent injury to you or damage to the unit,
the appliance should be unpacked and set up by
two people.
States a hazard will cause serious injury
or death if precautions are not followed.
WARNING
!
• If the appliance is damaged on delivery, contact

CAUTION
!
Signals a situation where minor injury or
product damage may occur if you do not
follow instructions.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power source
if a fault occurs. Pull out the plug, turn off or dis-
able the power source.
IMPORTANT
This highlights information that is especially
relevant to a problem-free installation.
• When disconnecting the appliance, use the plug.
Do not pull on the cable.
• Any repairs and work on the appliance should
only be performed by the customer service
department. Unauthorized work may be dan-
gerous to the user. Changing the power source
cable should only be done by the customer ser-
vice department.
Disposal of Old Appliance
Be sure to follow your local requirements for dis-
posal of appliances. Discarded appliances can be
dangerous.
DANGER
!
• Do not store explosives or sprays using com-
bustible propellants such as butane, propane,
pentane, etc. in the appliance. Electrical compo-
nents might cause leaking gas to ignite.You may
identify such sprays by the printed contents or a
flame symbol.
Risk of child entrapment. Before you dis-
card old appliances:
• Be sure to follow your local require-
ments for disposal of appliances. Dis-
carded appliances can be dangerous.
• Remove the doors.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the appli-
ance.
• Leave the shelves in place so that chil-
dren may not easily climb inside.
• Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
Children must not climb, sit or stand on the racks
or door.
• Cut off the prongs from the power cable
plug and discard them.
• Cut off the power cable from the dis-
carded refrigerator. Discard separately
from the refrigerator.
Following these instructions reduces the
possibility of causing personal injury,
especially to children playing.
Contact the trash collection agency in
your area for additional information.

SAFETY
• To prevent possible injury due to an electrical
shock, be sure to disconnect the power cord or
turn off the circuit breaker before replacing the
interior light or cleaning the appliance.
Electrical Safety
Connect this appliance to a 110-120 VAC, 15 amp
circuit that is controlled by a circuit breaker or
fuse. This appliance should have its own separate
grounded circuit. Do not use an extension cord.
• To prevent possible injury due to broken glass,
use hand protection when replacing the interior
light.
The power cord is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against pos-
sible shock hazards. To maintain this protection:
• To avoid injury or damage to the appliance, do
not use steam cleaning equipment to clean the
appliance.
• Do not modify the plug by removing the round
grounding prong.
• Do not operate the wine cooler in the presence
of explosive fumes.
• Do not use a two-prong adapter. Where a two-
prong wall receptacle is encountered, contact
a qualified electrician and have it replaced with
a three-prong receptacle in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
• In the event of a power outage, minimize open-
ing the door.
• To protect the wine cooler from possible dam-
age, allow the appliance to stand 1/2 to 1 hour
in place before turning the electricity on. This
allows the refrigerant and system lubrication to
reach equilibrium.
• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or dam-
aged.

Safety Regulations
The Wine Cooler - Figure 1
The appliance is designed to cool and store wine
and beverages. It is designed as a household appli-
ance. If used commercially, the relevant regulations
on commercial use must be observed.
Wines only develop their
full flavor and aroma
when they are at the right
temperature for drinking.
In your wine cooler, wines
can be brought slowly
and evenly to the ideal
drinking temperature. Red
wines and white wines
can be stored at the same
time at the optimal drink-
ing temperature in two
separately adjustable
The appliance is set to operate within specific
ambient temperature limits according to its climate
rating. These temperature limits should not be
exceeded. The correct climate rating for your appli-
ance is indicated on the model plate.
This is explained as follows:

Pull-out Racks - Figure 16
The pull-out racks allows bottles of wine to be
viewed and removed more easily. The control ele-
ment panel shelf cannot be removed.
The interior light emits class 1M laser
radiation. DO NOT look directly at light or
through any optical instruments when the
light defuser is removed. Severe eye injury
can occur.
Labels
The appliance is supplied with a label holder
with labels for each rack. Use these to label
the type of wine stored on each shelf. Use a
soft pencil on the labels so that you can erase
it again when necessary. Additional labels
can be obtained from your Liebherr Dealer or
Distributor.
A lightbar is integrated into the upper and lower
compartments.
Fitting: Click the label holder into place and slide
the label in from the side.

WINE COOLER COMPARTMENT
Storage Diagram - Figure 18
It is possible to store up to 46 Bordeaux bottles of
750 ml each in your wine cooler.
Air Exchange with Activated
Charcoal Filter - Figure 17
The way in which wines continue to mature depends
on the ambient conditions. The quality of the air
is therefore decisive for preserving the wine.Your
Liebherr wine cooler is equipped with an activated
charcoal filter in the interior rear wall of both the
upper and lower compartments.
We recommend you replace the filter at least once
a year. Filters can be obtained from your Liebherr
Dealer or Distributor.
Removing the filter: Hold the filter by the handle.
Turn it 90° to the left or right and remove.
Reinstalling the filter: Insert with the handle in a
vertical position. Turn it 90° to the left or right until it
clicks into place.

DEFROSTING/CLEANING
Defrosting
The appliance compartment defrosts automatically.
The water that forms on the rear wall drains
into a reservoir at the back of the appliance and
evaporates automatically through the compressor
heat.
Cleaning
WARNING
!
• To prevent possible injury due to an
electrical shock, be sure to disconnect
the power cord or turn OFF the circuit
breaker before replacing the interior
light bulb(s) or cleaning the appliance.
• To avoid injury or damage, DO NOT
use steam cleaning equipment to
clean the appliance.
Figure 19
Keep your stainless steel looking new by cleaning
with a good quality stainless steel cleaner or polish
monthly. High quality stainless steel cleaners and
conditioners are commercially available.
Clean the appliance by hand with lukewarm water
and a little detergent or an all-purpose cleaner with
a neutral pH.
DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS or
ABRASIVE PADS. DO NOT use cleaners that
are not for use on stainless steel, such as
glass cleaners, tile cleaners or cleaners used to
clean counter tops.These types of cleaners can
damage the surface permanently.
DO NOT use abrasive or scouring sponges. DO
NOT use concentrated cleaning agents. NEVER
use abrasive or acid cleaners or chemical solvents
or steam cleaners.
• Ensure no cleaning water penetrates into the
electrical components or ventilation grille.
Stainless steel that is exposed to chlorine gas
and moisture may have some discoloration. This
discoloration is normal. If your unit is used in this
environment, clean and polish your stainless steel
more often.
• Dry all parts well with a cloth.
• DO NOT damage or remove the model plate on
the inside of the appliance. It is very important
for servicing your appliance.
Remove any dust from the outside of the ventilation
grille (Figure 19) with a vacuum cleaner.
If the surface discolors or rusting appears, clean
it quickly with a non-abrasive cloth and protect it.
Always clean and polish in the direction of the grain
and finish.
IMPORTANT
Mold can form on the bottles and labels
depending on the type of adhesive used on
the labels. This can be prevented by care-
fully cleaning any adhesive residues off the
bottles.
