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.

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.

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.

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:

Additional Features  
WARNING  
!
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.  
Figure 14  
The interior lights can be turned on and off  
using the Light button, and the brightness of the  
lighting can be adjusted.  
• Press the Light button. The indicator lamp in the  
switch will light.  
• Then press and hold the Light button and at the  
same time press the temperature setting but-  
tons for the lower compartment to increase or

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.
