Offering a 152-liter gross capacity and a temperature range of +3°C to +16°C, this underbench fridge with a glass door ensures reliable preservation with maximum temperature stability. Featuring fan-assisted cooling, a Comfort electronic controller with digital display, LED interior lighting, and a hygienic polystyrol liner, the LKUv 1613 delivers precise temperature consistency and enhanced visibility. With integrated alarms, SmartMonitoring compatibility, and compliance with QCPP standards, it is an energy-efficient solution for demanding scientific applications, backed by Liebherr’s 3-year warranty.

Key Features

• Precise Temperature Stability: Ensures maximum temperature consistency with minimal deviation, tested to EN 60068-3 standards by measuring temperature at nine points in the interior, ideal for storing sensitive substances.

• Fan-Assisted Cooling: Forced-air cooling system with highly efficient fans cools freshly stored items quickly and maintains uniform temperature distribution throughout the interior, enhancing storage reliability.

• Glass Door with LED Lighting: Transparent glass door with energy-efficient LED lighting evenly illuminates the interior, allowing quick access and clear visibility of stored products without compromising temperature stability; lighting can be switched off if needed.

• Energy Efficiency: Consumes 369 kWh/year (1.010 kWh/24h) using eco-friendly R600a refrigerant and high-efficiency compressors, reducing operating costs and environmental impact.

• Hygienic Design: Commercial-grade molded polystyrol inner liner is robust, odorless, and easy to clean, supporting compliance with ISO EN 14644-1 Class 5 cleanroom standards for laboratory hygiene.

• Advanced Monitoring: Comfort electronic controller with digital LED 7-segment display (0.1°C resolution), integrated data logger, min./max. temperature log, and HACCP-compliant AlarmLog for the last three temperature alarms and power failures; optional SmartMonitoring via RS 485 interface (requires SmartCoolingHub) for cloud-based monitoring.

• Safety and Security: Includes visual/audible alarms for temperature deviations, door open (>1 minute), power failure, and sensor defects, volt-free alarm contact for external systems, +2°C secondary safety thermostat to prevent freezing, and a lockable door to prevent unauthorized access.

• Flexible Configuration: Reversible door hinges (factory-set to right), 3 adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves (45kg load each), and an access port for external temperature probes for installation flexibility under worktops (requires ventilation grille or 860mm niche height).

• User-Friendly Controls: Flush-mounted Comfort controller with an easy-clean membrane keypad, 1-point calibration for precise temperature control, and clear operating status symbols for intuitive operation.

• Low Maintenance: Operates without filters, with manual defrost and replaceable plug-in door seals; self-closing door enhances convenience, requiring only regular cleaning and calibration; operates quietly at 47 dB(A).
