SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons read these SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS before operating this appliance. Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide.
WARNING
When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including the following:
DANGER!
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator/beer dispenser:
1. Take off the doors.
2. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
ELECTRICAL
This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instruction before it is used.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out
from the outlet.
Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion along its length or at either the plug or appliance end. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by your Fisher & Paykel Appliances Authorized Service Center because special purpose tools are required.
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning, or replacing the light bulb.
STORING FOOD AND DRINKS
Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator as they may explode.
Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during freezing which may cause the container to
explode.
Do not consume food if it is too cold. Food removed from the freezer compartment may be cold enough to cause damage when brought into contact with bare skin, e.g. frozen ice cubes.
POWER FAILURE – FOOD SAFETY
Do not refreeze foods that have thawed completely. Follow the recommendations below if you discover food that has thawed:
1. Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter period than recommended.
2. Tha
wed but refrigerator cold – refreezing generally not recommended. Fruits and some cooked food can be
ozen but use as soon as possible.
refr
Meat, fish, poultry – use immediately or cook, then refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp and soggy.
3. Thawed but warmer than 4ºC/40ºF – red meat can be cooked immediately and refrozen but use as soon as
possible. Discard all other frozen foods.
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
CLEANING
Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack plastic components of your refrigerator/beer dispenser and cause them to crack. Please refer to the Care and Maintenance section of this booklet for further advice (see pages 15-16).
DISPOSAL
Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards. The refrigerant gas must be safely removed.
Your Fisher & Paykel Appliances Authorized Service Center will be able to give advice on environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator/beer dispenser.
INSTALLATION – ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS
POWER
The appliance must be installed so the power plug is accessible.
To ensure that the appliance is not accidentally switched off, connect your refrigerator/beer dispenser to its
own pow adapters, as the combined weight of both power cords can pull the double adapter from a wall outlet socket.
For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate located at the front bottom right-hand side of the refrigerator when the door is open.
It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed) with a three prong receptacle. Never cut or break off the gr
LOCATION
Your refrigerator/beer dispenser should not be located in direct sunlight.
STABILITY
It is important that all four corners of the refrigerator/beer dispenser base are supported firmly on a solid level surface to eliminate any cabinet movement.
Installing the appliance on a soft or uneven or unlevel floor may result in twisting of the cabinet and poor sealing of the doors. If the doors do not seal properly, warm air will enter the food storage areas causing the temperature to increase, resulting in food spoilage and food loss.
er point. Do not plug in any other appliance at this power point or use extension cords, or double
ounding prong to fit a two-prong outlet.
Before moving your refrigerator/beer dispenser into its position, ensure that the adjustable front feet are fully retracted.
Position your refrigerator/beer dispenser. Turn to lower the front leveling leg. Raise the front of the appliance until it is stable and doors move towards the closed position, on their own, when open.
The front leveling leg on the hinge side should take the majority of the weight of the cabinet and the cabinet should be stable, i.e. cabinet should not r
BEFORE PLACING FOOD IN THE FRESH FOOD COMPARTMENTS
Remove all packaging. Ensure that all transit tape is removed from the refrigerator.
Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and
transportation dust.
Allow the refrigerator/beer dispenser to run empty for 2 - 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the appropriate temperature.
The appliance may have an odor on its initial operation, but this will go away when the refrigerator/beer dispenser have cooled sufficiently.

Check serial plate for correct power supply. Use only electrical power supply as specified on your appliance serial nameplate. Do not use an extension cord!
WARNING!
Do not splash or spray water from a hose onto the refrigerator! Doing so may cause an electrical shock, which may result in severe injury or death.
GROUNDING METHOD
This product is factory equipped with a power supply cord that has a three-pronged grounded plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the customer to exchange the existing receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code and applicable local codes and ordinances. The third ground prong should not, under any circumstances, be cut or removed. All UL listed refrigerated products are equipped with this type of plug.
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFI) electrical receptacle is to be used to supply electrical power to the refrig­erator for outdoor applications. Contact an electrician if you need to install one to supply electrical power to your outdoor refrigerator.

ISLAND BEER DISPENSER INSTALLATION:
When installing the Beer Dispenser under a counter and using a remote location for the Dispenser Tower, follow instructions below. Steps need to be taken to insure proper temperatures are maintained in the dispenser.
IMPORTANT:
All holes must be sealed to prevent air leak. Placement of the tower can be done by cutting a hole in the counter top directly above the existing hole of the Beer Dispenser unit (refer to tower template for dimensions Fig. 05).
1. Drill a 1-5/8” hole drilled thru the counter directly above the hole in the dispenser cabinet. Use the dimensions shown to align both holes. When properly placed, you will see thru both holes.
2. Drill four 1/8” pilot holes at 2-5/8” apart using the large hole as a center point (see Fig. 05).
3. Using some insulating foam rubber (not included), slide it over the beer line far enough to bring the hose up thru the top of the cabinet and counter.
4. Connect the beer line assembly to the tower as per “Assemble and Connect Parts” on page 10.
5. Slide the insulating foam rubber into the hole in top of the dispenser, making an air tight seal.
6. Mount the tower to the top of the cabinet and fasten securely.
7. Make connections to the keg and CO
cylinder as per “Assemble and Connect Parts” on page 10.

Q. WHAT SIZE KEG WILL FIT INTO MY REFRIGERATOR?
Approximate measurements required to tap most kegs:
Quarter Barrel Half Barrel
Height 17-21 inches 25-29 inches
Diameter 16-20 inches 18-22 inches
Weight 80-85 pounds 160-180 pounds
Check with your local beer wholesaler or retailer to verify actual keg sizes, including tap heights.
Q. CAN MY REFRIGERATOR MAINTAIN TEMPERATURES BETWEEN 34º-38º F?
Draft beer is not pasteurized, so it must be kept cold, preferably 38º. Temperature above 38º may cause the beer to become wild, turn sour and cloudy.
Draft beer should be consumed within 30-45 days. It is not pasteurized, and will lose its original brewery fresh taste and aroma the older it gets.
Q. HOW MUCH BEER WILL I CONSUME IN A 30 DAY PERIOD?
There are two keg sizes: the quarter barrel containing 7-3/4 gallons or approximately 3-1/2 cases of 12 ounce bottles or cans; the half barrel containing 15-1/2 gallons or approximately 7 cases.
