Setting up

  • Do not place the appliance in direct sunlight or near cookers, radiators and similar sources of heat.
  • Do not place heat-emitting appliances, e.g. microwave oven, toaster, etc., on top of the appliance.
  • The more coolant there is in the appliance, the larger the room in which the appliance is installed must be. If the room is too small, any leak may create a flammable mixture of gas and air. For each 8 g of coolant the installation space must be at least 1 m ^3 . Information on the coolant is on the model plate inside the appliance.
  • There must be a gap of at least 30 cm between the upper edge of the appliance and the ceiling.

Levelling the appliance

Compensate floor unevenness using the adjustable feet.

To alter the height, rotate the bottom section of the respective adjustable foot.

LIEBHERR GKPv 6540 - Levelling the appliance - 1

WARNING

The height of the foot can be adjusted from 120 mm to 170 mm.

Do not set the adjustable foot to a height greater than 170 mm! The bottom section of the adjustable foot can become loose and the appliance may then tip over.

LIEBHERR GKPv 6540 - WARNING - 1

This can lead to serious or even fatal injuries.

NOTICE

The appliance must be aligned horizontally and vertically. If the appliance is not level, the main body of the appliance can be deformed and the door will not close properly.

Electrical connection

Only operate the appliance with alternating current (AC).

The permissible voltage and frequency are indicated on the type plate. The position of the type plate is shown in the section entitled Description of the appliance.

The socket must be properly earthed and protected by a fuse. The tripping current of the fuse must be between 10 A and 16 A.

The socket must not be situated behind the appliance and must be easily accessible.

Do not connect the appliance using an extension cable or extension socket.

Do not use stand-alone inverters (conversion of direct current to alternating current/three-phase current) or energy-saving plugs. Risk of damage to the electronic control system!

Malfunctions

You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking the possible causes yourself:

• Appliance does not function:
– Is the appliance switched on?
– Is the plug correctly fitted in the mains socket?
– Is the fuse intact?

• The temperature is not low enough:

  • Is the temperature setting correct (see "Setting the temperature")?
  • Does the separately installed thermometer show the correct reading?
  • Is the ventilation system working properly?
  • Is the appliance set up too close to a heat source?

If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, contact the nearest customer service department stating the type designation ①, service number ② and appliance number ③ as indicated on the type plate.
