1 SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Water filter
IMPORTANT!
The water connection to your ice & water refrigerator must be installed by an qualified
plumber or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician and comply with
all state and local laws.
Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes. Checkwith
your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow their
guidelines as you install the water filtration system.
To avoid serious illness or death, only connect your water filter to safe drinking water.
The water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the replacement indicator icon
illuminates. This will happen every 6 months.
If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.
Failure to replace the disposable filter at recommended intervals may lead to reduced
filter performance and failure of the filter, causing property damage from water
leakage or flooding.
In cases of excessively reduced filter life — we recommend that you consult a local
plumber or your water supplier for advice on suitable filtration requirements for the
water supplied to your home.
Filter replacement is the consumer’s responsibility and will not be covered by the
warranty except in the case of faulty parts or materials within the filter cartridge.
If the water has not created ice for some time or ice has an unpleasant taste or odor
dispose of ice and refer to the flushing instructions in this book. If unpleasant taste or
odor persists, you may wish to fit a new filter cartridge.
Your water filtration system can withstand up to 120psi (827kPa) of water pressure.
Ensure the supplied pressure reducing valve is installed before installing the water
filtration system. DO NOT install if water pressure exceeds 120psi (827kPa).
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding:
DO NOT install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 100°F
(38°C) or drop below 33°F (0.6°C).
DO NOT install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature
of this filter system is 100°F (38°C).
DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer
conditions exist, you must install a water hammer arrester.
