FAQs
What is VarioSpace and how does it work?
VarioSpace is a system that allows you to remove the drawers and intermediate glass shelves from the freezer. This creates a larger, open space, making it easier to store bulky items that wouldn't normally fit, such as a large roast or a multi-tiered cake.
How often does the SmartFrost technology require defrosting?
SmartFrost significantly reduces ice build-up on the freezer walls and contents. This means you will need to defrost much less frequently than with conventional freezers, often only once every few years, depending on usage.
Can I place this freezer in a garage?
Yes, the Fe 1404N features FrostProtect technology, which allows it to operate reliably in ambient temperatures as low as -15°C. This makes it suitable for placement in unheated spaces like garages or outbuildings.
What is the star rating for this freezer?
This freezer has a 4-star rating, which indicates its ability to freeze food to -18°C and below, suitable for long-term storage.
How long will my food stay frozen if the power fails?
During a power failure, the freezer can maintain a temperature of -18°C or below for approximately 12.5 hours, helping to preserve your frozen food.
Is the door hinge reversible?
No, the door hinge on this model is fixed on the right side and cannot be reversed.
What is the annual energy consumption?
The estimated annual energy consumption for the Liebherr Fe 1404N is 172 kWh per year.
Troubleshooting
Freezer is not cooling
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the circuit breaker is not tripped. Verify that the temperature setting is correct and not set to 'off'. Check for any obstructions around the ventilation grilles.
Excessive ice build-up
While SmartFrost reduces ice, ensure the door is closing properly and not left ajar. Check the door seal for damage. If ice is excessive, manual defrosting may be required following the care instructions.
Unusual noises
Humming or buzzing noises are normal during operation. If loud clicking or rattling occurs, ensure the freezer is level using the adjustable feet. Check if the freezer is touching any walls or cabinets.
Door open alarm is active
Ensure the freezer door is fully closed. If the alarm persists, check the door seal for obstructions or damage. The alarm may also trigger temporarily if the door has been open for an extended period.
Display is not working
Check the power connection. Ensure the display lock is not activated, which might be indicated by a specific icon. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the freezer is placed on a level surface. Use the two adjustable feet at the front to compensate for uneven floors.
- Allow at least 10 cm of space around the back and sides of the appliance for adequate ventilation.
- Connect the power cord to a suitable 220-240 V, 50 Hz power outlet. The cord length is 2 meters.
- Once plugged in, allow the freezer to run empty for a few hours to reach its optimal operating temperature before loading food.
Compatibility:
- Appliance Placement: Designed for undercounter installation.
- Climate Class: SN-T (Suitable for ambient temperatures from 10°C to 43°C).
- FrostProtect: Operates in ambient temperatures as low as -15°C, suitable for garages or outbuildings.
Care:
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the white exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Interior Cleaning: The interior can be cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Removable drawers and shelves can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher.
- Defrosting: SmartFrost technology minimizes ice build-up, reducing the need for manual defrosting. If significant ice does accumulate, empty the freezer, switch it off, and allow it to defrost naturally. Wipe dry before switching back on.
- Ventilation: Regularly check that ventilation openings are not blocked.
