Liebert Refrigerator Owner's Manual

Installation

Unpacking the Refrigerator

When you receive your new Liebert Refrigerator, safely unpack it by following these steps:

1. Inspect the Packaging: Before unpacking, inspect the packaging for any visible damages that may have occurred during transit. Note any observations for potential warranty claims.

2. Careful Unpacking: Use a utility knife or scissors to carefully cut through the packaging tape. Lift the box gradually, avoiding any abrupt motions that could damage the appliance.

3. Remove Protective Materials: Take off any protective foam or plastic covering the refrigerator. Ensure all parts listed in the packing list are included, such as shelves and handles.

4. Documentation: Keep the user manual and warranty cards safe for future reference. Completing warranty registration promptly is advisable.

Choosing the Installation Location

Selecting the optimal location for your refrigerator is crucial for its performance and longevity. Consider the following factors:

• Space Requirements: Leave at least 2 inches of space around the back and sides of the refrigerator for proper ventilation. The door requires clearance to open fully without obstruction.

• Electricity and Outlet Specifications: The refrigerator should be plugged into a dedicated electrical outlet with a standard voltage of 120V-60Hz. Ensure the outlet is grounded and capable of handling the appliance's electrical load.

Leveling the Refrigerator

Proper leveling is vital to ensure efficient operation and proper door closure. Follow these steps to level your refrigerator:

1. Use a Level: Place a carpenter's level on the top of the refrigerator.

2. Adjust the Legs: Adjust the leveling legs at the base of the refrigerator by turning them clockwise to raise the unit or counterclockwise to lower it.

3. Ensure Stability: Once leveled, the refrigerator should stand firm without wobbling. This stability helps prevent unnecessary noise and improves cooling efficiency.

Connecting to Power

To safely connect your refrigerator to power, adhere to the following instructions:

1. Check the Circuit: Ensure the power circuit is not overloaded to prevent tripping.

2. Avoid Extensions and Adaptors: Plug the refrigerator directly into the outlet without the use of extension cords or multi-plug adapters, which can cause voltage drops and increase the risk of fire hazards.

Initial Start-Up Instructions

Prepare your refrigerator for initial use by following these start-up instructions:

1. Cool Down Period: Allow the refrigerator to sit upright for at least four hours before plugging it in to let the compressor oils settle.

2. Power Up: Connect the refrigerator to the power outlet and turn it on. The compressor will start running to achieve the desired temperature.

3. Monitor Operation: Once the refrigerator is running, keep the door shut as much as possible within the first 24 hours to allow it to reach the optimal cooling temperature.

Temperature Settings and Adjustments

Proper temperature settings ensure food safety and energy efficiency. Adjust as follows:

1. Default Settings: Typically, the factory settings are adequate for normal daily use. Use these as a baseline unless specific conditions dictate otherwise.

2. Adjusting Temperature: Use the control panel to adjust the settings. For the refrigerator section, a temperature between 35°F and 38°F is ideal. For the freezer, aim for 0°F.

3. Regular Check-ups: Periodically check the internal temperature using a refrigerator thermometer to ensure consistent cooling performance. Adjust settings as needed based on the internal temperature readings.
