The Liebherr Monolith EKB 9271 is a fully integrated refrigerator designed for flush installation in premium kitchen cabinetry. It offers advanced BioFresh-Plus technology, InfinityLight LED illumination and a high-performance PowerCooling system for rapid, even cooling. With intuitive InfinitySwipe electronic controls and optional SmartDevice connectivity, it suits design-conscious households seeking precise temperature control, flexible storage and seamless integration, supported by a range of matching stainless steel panels, handles and Side-by-Side installation options.
The floor must be level and capable of bearing the weight of the appliance plus food. Recess dimensions must be measured correctly and the power socket positioned so it remains easily accessible and is not located directly behind the appliance. Monolith appliances are designed for flush installation in units with a depth of 635 mm, while the appliance depth is 610 mm, allowing installation in standard European 610 mm or deeper cut-outs.
Top and carcass walls should line up flush with the appliance at a depth of at least 102 mm from the outside edge and be at least 16 mm thick. Because the recess is partially visible when the door is opened, matching interior finishes are recommended. Customer-specific panels up to 30 mm thick may be used, provided the maximum panel weight of 30 kg is not exceeded.
Door panels for inset installation have dimensions H = 2029 mm and W = 603 mm; overlay installation uses H = 2032 mm and W = 610 mm, plus any panel overlap. Door panel thickness must be between 16 mm and 30 mm. The adjustable feet are fully retracted at the minimum height and can be raised from the front to bring the appliance into contact with the anti-tipping device and to achieve the desired plinth panel height.
Ventilation is entirely via the plinth panel. Door panels must close at least 102 mm above the floor and the plinth grille must remain unobstructed. Spacers supplied with the appliance must be fitted to separate warm outgoing air from fresh incoming air. Liebherr offers 102 mm high stainless steel plinth panels in widths from 45.7 cm to 182.8 cm as optional accessories.
The EKB 9271 can be installed individually with hinge on the left or right, or Side-by-Side with other Liebherr refrigerators, freezers or wine cabinets. For Side-by-Side installations with spacing less than 102 mm, a Side-by-Side set is required. A minimum spacing of 76 mm is needed to prevent doors and handles from colliding with adjacent elements when using a 90° opening limiter.
When combining more than two units, different configurations are possible, including use of carcass sides or larger spacings (102 mm or 154 mm) to avoid handle collisions, particularly when doors open towards the centre.
The factory door opening angle is 115° and can be limited to 90° with the supplied door opening limiter, which is inserted into the hinge. A minimum gap of 3 mm between door panels must be maintained. To avoid damage, installation should ensure that doors and handles do not bump into adjoining walls or cabinetry; if necessary, reduce panel thickness (if above 19 mm), reposition adjacent elements or fit stoppers.
The appliance must operate on alternating current within the permitted voltage and frequency. Power sockets must be earthed, electrically protected, not located behind the appliance and easily accessible. Use of extension cables, multi-sockets or inverters is not permitted due to risks of overheating, fire and electric shock. A separate circuit is recommended to avoid unintended switch-off by other devices.
The climate class SN–T allows operation between 10 °C and 43 °C ambient temperature. The appliance should not be operated outside these ranges. Refrigerant circuits are factory-checked for tightness and the appliance complies with applicable safety regulations.
Models fitted with InfinitySpring (integrated water dispenser) or IceMaker must be connected to a water supply with pressure between 2.8 and 6.2 bar, using only the supplied hose. Although the EKB 9271 does not have an integrated water dispenser, compatible accessories for water filters and FreshAir filters are available. A shut-off valve must be installed in an accessible position. Water quality must meet local drinking water regulations and additional filtration or softening may be necessary depending on hardness and solids content.
All work on InfinitySpring or IceMaker components must be carried out by trained personnel. The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for devices or pipework installed between the solenoid valve and the mains supply. Appliances with InfinitySpring or IceMaker feature a water filter in the front base section, with replacement intervals indicated via an InfinitySwipe alarm.
An anti-tipping device positioned at the base of the appliance must be secured to the floor or wall to prevent the unit from tipping. After positioning in the recess, the appliance is raised using the adjustable feet from the front until it contacts the anti-tipping device. To reach a minimal plinth panel height of 102 mm, the feet must be raised by 6–8 mm; they can be raised by up to 19 mm for higher plinth panels.
After transport, the appliance should stand for one hour in the installation location before switching on, so that fluids in the coolant and lubrication system can distribute evenly.
The appliance dimensions are 212.6 / 60.2 / 61 cm (H/W/D). The recess dimensions are 213.4 / 61 / 63.5 cm (H/W/D). For inset door panels, panel size is 2029 mm high and 603 mm wide; for overlay panels, 2032 mm high and 610 mm wide, plus any required overlap.
The refrigerator compartment can be set between +2 °C and +7 °C. BioFresh-Plus safes operate at slightly above 0 °C with controllable humidity, and the third BioFresh safe can reach -2 °C for fish, seafood or rapid drink cooling.
Yes. The EKB 9271 is supplied with a right-hand door hinge, which is reversible. Hinge reversal must be carried out by authorised Liebherr Monolith customer service using a door hinge exchange set.
The appliance can be installed Side-by-Side with other Liebherr Monolith refrigerators, freezers or wine cabinets. If the distance between integrated units is less than 102 mm, a Side-by-Side set with sidewall heater, brackets, screws and decorative trim is required. This set slightly increases combined energy consumption for two or three units.
Optional accessories for the EKB 9271 include stainless steel door panels and 102 mm high stainless steel plinth panels, flat, square and round handles, Side-by-Side sets, FreshAir activated charcoal filters, FlexSystem storage inserts (61.0 cm), cleaning and care products for stainless steel, and sidewall heaters for specific installations.
The appliance operates on 220–240 V~ with a connected load of 1.5 A, on an earthed socket that is easily accessible and not located behind the unit. It is designed for climate class SN–T, meaning an ambient temperature range of 10 °C to 43 °C. Operation outside this range is not permitted.
