SAFETY
• To avoid injury or damage to the appliance, do
not use steam cleaning equipment to clean the
appliance.
Important Safety Information
This appliance is intended for domestic use only.
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:
• Do not operate the wine cooler in the presence
of explosive fumes.
• In the event of a power outage, minimize open-
ing the door.
• To prevent injury to you or damage to the unit,
the appliance should be unpacked and set up by
two people.
• 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.
• If the appliance is damaged on delivery, contact
the supplier immediately before connecting to
the power source.
• To guarantee safe operation, ensure that appli-
ance is set up and connected as described in
these operating instructions.
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.
• Disconnect the appliance from the power source
if a fault occurs. Pull out the plug, turn off or dis-
able the power source.
• When disconnecting the appliance, use the plug.
Do not pull on the cable.
The power cord is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against pos-
sible shock hazards. To maintain this protection:
• 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.
• Do not modify the plug by removing the round
grounding prong.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not use a power cord that is frayed or dam-
aged.
• Do not use electrical appliances inside the appli-
ance.
• Do not allow children to play with the appliance.
Children must not climb, sit or stand on the racks
or door.
• 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.

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 drinking temperature in three
separately adjustable temperature zones.

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

Air Exchange with Activated
Charcoal Filter - Figure 22
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 each com-
partment.
It is possible to store up to 143 Bordeaux bottles of
750 ml each in your wine cooler.

DEFROSTING/CLEANING
Defrosting
The wine cooler compartment defrosts automatical-
ly. The water that forms on the rear wall drains into
a reservoir at the back of the appliance and evapo-
rates automatically through the compressor heat.
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.
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 dam-
age the surface permanently.
Cleaning
• To prevent possible injury due to an
electrical shock, be sure to disconnect
the power cord or turn OFF the circuit
breaker before cleaning the appliance.
• To avoid injury or damage, DO NOT
use steam cleaning equipment to
clean the appliance.
Stainless steel that is exposed to chlorine gas and
moisture may have some discoloration. This discol-
oration is normal. If your unit is used in this environ-
ment, clean and polish your stainless steel more
often.
Clean the appliance by hand with lukewarm water
and a little detergent.
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.
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.
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.
• 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 24) with a vacuum cleaner.
