Features
±5 °C Temperature Stability
Sensitive substances cannot be subjected to large deviations from the set storage temperature. Liebherr freezers guarantee a minimal temperature fluctuation of no more than ±5 °C. This means that your valuable contents are optimally protected against impairment and their quality is preserved.
Compliance with the ATEX Directive
Liebherr laboratory equipment conforms to EN/IEC 60079-0 or EN-IEC 60079-7 and complies with EU Directive 2014/34/EU (“ATEX Directive”). Classification of the interior to <Ex> II 3 G Ex ec IIC T6 (declared as Zone 22) makes them suitable for flammable substances in closed containers that could form explosive atmospheres.
SmartFrost
SmartFrost reduces frost build-up in the interior and on stored products. Defrosting is required less often – and when it is necessary, it is made much easier by the smooth, easy-to-clean interior walls. The evaporator in the foam insulation ensures high levels of energy efficiency as well as even cooling.
Retrofittable WiFi/LAN Interface
This is how easy it is to network a Liebherr: With the retrofittable WiFi and LAN interface, appliances can be effortlessly connected to external systems, such as SmartMonitoring from Liebherr. With the digital monitoring solution, the storage temperature is controlled and documented conveniently and securely via the subsequently set up interface.
Mechanical Lock
All professional Liebherr appliances are equipped with a mechanical lock with two keys for the storage of temperature-sensitive products. This way you can be sure that no unauthorised hands can access your stored goods.
Designed for a Service Life of 15 Years
Sustainable means the appliance is not only economical, but also durable. High-quality materials and solid workmanship, coupled with at least ten years of spare parts availability, make a Liebherr appliance a robust, reliable, and extremely long-lasting top performer in demanding everyday work.
Additional Features
Easy to clean interior
The plastic interior container is made of polystyrene, a fully recyclable, robust and odourless material. Manufactured seamlessly from a single piece, it has no hidden dirt traps, while the large corner radii make cleaning quick and easy. The perfect combination of sustainability and hygiene.
relay
In the event of an alarm, the responsible control centre is informed immediately, usually through connection to the building control system. You can define in advance which alarms are forwarded, how long the forwarding remains active and whether a reminder should be sent after the alarm acknowledgement. This allows you to react immediately in critical situations.
15 years of spare parts availability
Liebherr-Hausgeräte GmbH extends spare parts availability to 15 years from the end of production of the respective model. This applies to all functional and storable parts of the equipment and is guaranteed retroactively for appliances produced since 1 January 2021.
Height-adjustable feet
With height-adjustable feet available as an accessory, the height of the appliance can be adapted to your requirements. For example, the appliance can be raised to make cleaning underneath easier.
Alarm test
The alarm test can be used to check the functionality of the internal and, where applicable, externally connected alarm device. Cooling is not interrupted during the test, allowing emergency simulations and team training to be carried out without affecting stored contents.
Antibacterial lever handle
The easy-turn handle mechanism makes opening the door effortless and contains special antimicrobial substances that reduce bacteria by up to 99.99%*. This reduces the need for regular and time-consuming disinfection, making the appliance suitable for environments with multiple users.
*According to ISO 22196:2011.
Calibration function
Due to operational requirements and application-specific conditions, the interior temperature may differ from the set temperature. The calibration function allows these deviations to be adjusted according to a storage temperature determined using calibrated thermometers, helping ensure precise temperature control.
Interchangeable door hinge
Liebherr appliances are fitted with a right-hand door hinge as standard. Without significant effort or additional parts, the door hinge can be changed to the left, providing greater flexibility when choosing an installation location.
Replaceable door seal
Liebherr's plug-in door seals can be easily replaced without tools. If a seal becomes damaged, it can be replaced quickly, helping save both time and maintenance costs.
Cleanroom compatible
Liebherr fridges and freezers in the scientific line have been tested for use in cleanrooms in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14644. This removes the need for an additional customer risk assessment to determine cleanroom suitability, helping save time and costs.
Clear appliance information
Important appliance information is always easy to access. The serial number, service number and model designation are displayed clearly, eliminating the need to search for labels or empty the appliance to locate essential information.
Demo mode
For training purposes or exhibitions, the appliance functions can be simulated in demo mode without operating the cooling system. This saves time and energy while allowing users to become familiar with the appliance.
Feedthrough for external sensors
An integrated cable feedthrough provides a clean and professional solution for connecting an external sensor to monitor the storage temperature. The opening allows wiring from outside to inside without drilling holes or damaging the door seal.
Hidden customer menu
The hidden customer menu provides access to appliance status information and detailed settings, including factory reset options. Protected by a separate code-secured menu level, it helps prevent unwanted changes or manipulation.
Hidden technician menu
The hidden service menu allows individual appliance configuration, including alarm sound settings, target value ranges and automatic defrost adjustments. These technical settings allow the appliance to be adapted to specific operational requirements.
Intuitive menu navigation
Check the appliance status directly from the control panel integrated flush into the door without opening it. The self-explanatory menu can be operated using symbols and voice control in up to 12 languages. The display can also be controlled using three touch buttons or Touch & Swipe, even when wearing gloves.
Min./max. temperature recording
Min./max. temperature recording stores the minimum and maximum interior temperatures recorded from a defined start time and displays them clearly. This makes it easy to check whether storage temperatures have remained within acceptable limits.
Almost maintenance free
Liebherr's professional freestanding appliances operate without filters or other components requiring regular replacement. Only cleaning and calibration according to individual requirements are needed on a regular basis, helping save time, energy and money.
Power failure info
If the power supply is interrupted, power failure information appears once power is restored. The appliance reports that a power interruption occurred and records the maximum temperature reached during that period, helping users assess whether stored contents may have been affected.
Quick start guide
The quick start guide provides the most important information at a glance on two pages. It covers menu navigation, the electronic lock, cleaning and general information about permitted and non-permitted stored goods.
Recommended cleaning products and disinfectant
Liebherr appliances are designed for a product lifetime of up to 15 years. To help maintain the appliance, Liebherr recommends cleaning and disinfecting products that have been tested for safe use, helping prevent accidental damage during routine care.
Reminder function
The reminder function alerts users when the next basic cleaning or calibration is due. The interval can be selected from predefined options and set directly on the appliance, allowing users to focus on their work.
Self-closing door < 90°
From an opening angle of approximately 90°, the appliance door remains open to make loading, unloading and cleaning easier. Below approximately 90°, the door closes automatically, helping prevent it from being left open accidentally and supporting stable storage temperatures.
Settings with password protection
All settings that influence the function or control of the appliance can be protected with a password. This helps protect stored contents from unwanted changes or manipulation of storage conditions.
