Introduction

Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel Active Smart™ refrigerator with automatic ice dispensing and chilled water through the door.

At Fisher & Paykel we are very proud of this refrigerator. We feel we have achieved water dispensing through the door without compromising the storage space or access in the fridge. During our testing we have enjoyed the health benefits of having cool filtered water so accessible, while minimising the number of door openings.

Thousands of hours of food care research and 70 years of refrigeration experience has been programmed into your refrigerator to give you the best possible performance.

We hope you enjoy your new refrigerator.

Before you start using your Ice & Water refrigerator

Check refrigerator is switched on and has cooled for at least 2 hours (refer to page 15 – The temperature of your refrigerator and freezer) before use.

Check that the water filter has been connected and turned on. Turn on ice maker.

At first use allow approximately 1 minute from when the dispensing pad is pushed until water is dispensed. This will allow the tank to fill.

Run through and discard the first 3 L or 3 qt of water from the dispenser (refer to page 10

– First use).

Discard the first bin of ice (refer to page 11 – First use).

You are now ready to enjoy ice and water from your Active Smart™ refrigerator.

2 Important safety instructions

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons read the IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS before operating this appliance.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide.

Important safety precautions

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 or freezer:

Take off the doors

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Disposal

Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards. The refrigerant gas must be safely removed and for the safety of young children, remove doors. Your Fisher & Paykel Appliances Authorised Service Centre will be able to give advice on environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.

Electrical

This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used.

Never unplug your refrigerator or freezer by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.

Do not plug in any other appliance at the same power point as your refrigerator or freezer or use extension cords or double adapters.

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 Authorised Service Centre because special purpose tools are required.

When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

Unplug your refrigerator or freezer before cleaning or replacing the lightbulb.

Important safety instructions 3

Storing food and drinks

Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator or freezer as they may explode. Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during freezing, which may cause the container to explode.

Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may 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 frozen foods that have thawed completely. Follow the recommendations below if you discover food in your freezer has thawed:

1)Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter period than recommended.

2)Thawed but refrigerator cold – refreezing generally not recommended. Fruits and some cooked food can be refrozen but use as soon as possible. Meat, fish, poultry – use immediately or cook then refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp and soggy.

3)Thawed but warmer than 4˚C (38˚F). 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 or freezer and cause them to crack. Please refer to the cleaning care section of this booklet for further advice.

Important!

It is imperative the pressure reducing valve (PRV) is fitted prior to the filter. This valve ensures the water will not flow back into the mains from the refrigerator water system. If the PRV is not fitted to the connection line your Ice & Water refrigerator features may not function in some circumstances.

It is recommended that an authorised plumber in your state or town is used to install the water connection.

The new tubings supplied with the machine are to be used, old tubings should not be used.

Installation precautions/warning

DO NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

WARNING – connect to potable water supply only.

DO NOT install on line pressure above 900 kPa (130 psi) or below 150 kPa (22 psi). DO NOT use on hot water supply (38°C [100°F max.]).

DO NOT install near electrical wires or water pipes that will be in the path of drilling when selecting the location of filter system.

DO NOT mount filter in such a position so that it will be struck by other items, such as wastebaskets, etc.

DO NOT install the filter in direct sunlight as prolonged exposure to light can weaken plastic components.

DO NOT install in a location that is susceptible to freezing temperatures as damage to the housing could occur.

DO NOT screw filter to fridge.

AVOID contamination of pipes during installation.

Installation instructions:

1 Ensure that refrigerator is not plugged into a power supply.

2Remove the compressor compartment cover from the rear

of the refrigerator (USA market only).

3Locate isolation tap for water connection – cold water feed only (dishwasher or sink mixer taps) – if you can’t find the connection tap, contact an authorised plumber in your state or town to fit your water connection.

4Connect the 200 mm (8”) blue tubing to the outlet of the PRV (blue collet) and the inlet connection of the water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 1. Gently pull on both ends to ensure it is locked.

5Connect the white 6 mm (¼”) tubing to the outlet of the water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 2. Gently pull to ensure it is locked.

6Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV to the water connection point.

7 Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square and clean.

8Connect the tubing to the tap connection and the base of the PRV (white collet) and then to the tap as shown in Diagram 3. Please note that the tap connection supplied should fit most installation situations. If

your tap requires a different fitting, please contact an authorised plumber in your state or town to purchase the correct fitting.

9Connect one locking key to each side of the water filter cartridge in between the cartridge and the locking collet as shown in Diagram 4.

10To flush the water filter and check for leaks, aim the

end of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating tap on and run at least 3 litres (3 qt) of water through. Once complete, turn isolating tap off.

11Locate desired position for water filter noting carefully the following points:

It is recommended to fit the filter in a vertical orientation with the water filter head at the top. This will minimise water leakage when replacing cartridge. Ensure the filter is in a convenient location to access every 6 months for replacement. We suggest that

this location is beside the water filter supply tap in the cupboard beside the refrigerator.

A minimum clearance of 64 mm (2 ½”) from the bottom of the filter cartridge is required to perform cartridge removal.

Do not screw filter to fridge.

12Attach double sided foam to the back of the water filter head as shown in Diagram 5. Write the date to be replaced on the filter (date installed + 6 months). Remove double sided foam backing and attach filter to the desired position as located in step 11 (refer to previous page).

13Run the 6 mm (¼”) tubing to back of the fridge ensuring there is enough tubing to pull out the refrigerator for service.

14Connect tubing into the water (solenoid) valve located on the right hand side of the unit (compressor) compartment as shown in Diagram 7. Beware of hot pipes.

15Pull gently on tubing to ensure it is locked in as shown in Diagram 8.

16The completed installation should look like Diagram 9 on page 7.

17Turn isolating tap on and check that all connections are dry and free of drips.

18Coil water line tubing behind the fridge. Push your refrigerator into place being careful not to kink or squash the water line running into the water (solenoid) valve.

19Turn on refrigerator.

20The first time you require water out of the dispenser, there will be a delay while the water reservoir fills up. As this is happening, the symbol will flash. Once the reservoir is full, this symbol will stop flashing.

21Run a further 3 litres (3 qt) through the system to ensure the reservoir is flushed out.

22You are now ready to enjoy chilled water and ice dispensing from your Active Smart™ refrigerator.

Important!

All connections must be checked for leaks.

If unsure of connection process and/or leaks then contact your local plumber to install and check the system for you.

Ensure white 6 mm (¼”) tubing is routed away from sharp objects, sharp corners (beware of kinking tube as this will stop water flow), clear of the refrigerator unit compartment and not in a location where it can be squashed.

Ensure all push-fit connections are firmly pushed into place. The tube should push in 20 mm (¾”) before reaching the stop.

If tubing is removed at any point, re-cut the end and re-insert. Tubing must be fully inserted to avoid leaks.

To remove tube from connection points, turn off the isolating tap, push in the collet and gently pull tubing at the same time.
