2 Safety and warnings

WARNING!

Electric Shock Hazard

Read and follow the SAFETY AND WARNINGS outlined in this User Guide before operating this appliance.

Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock, fire or injury to persons.

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

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

Important!

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:

–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.

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.

Do not plug in any other appliance at the same power point as your refrigerator 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.

Safety and warnings 3

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

the power cord. EN Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or replacing the lightbulb.

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.

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 and warmer than 5˚C (41˚F). Discard all food.

Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.

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.

DO NOT use copper tubing. The plastic tubing supplied should always be used.

Installation instructions:

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

2Locate 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. Tee and tap fitting is not supplied.

3Connect 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.

4Connect 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.

5Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV to the water connection point.

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

7Connect 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.

8Connect one locking key to each side of the water filter cartridge in between the cartridge and the locking collet as shown in Diagram 4.

9To 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 8-10 litres (8-10 qt) of water through. Once complete, turn isolating tap off.

10Locate desired position for water filter noting carefully the following points:

It is recommended to fit the water 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 water filter to refrigerator.

Important!		EN

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.

BRoll the refrigerator into its final position making

sure there is the correct air gap between the product and surrounding cabinetry. See minimum

clearance in cabinetry dimensions table (refer to page 10).

	(RF540A only)
C	Adjust the front feet down until the refrigerator is leaning
	backward with the front approximately 10 mm higher than
	the back. This will ensure a good door closing action. (Refer
	to Fig.9).
D	Aligning your refrigerator with cabinetry.
	Align the sides of the refrigerator with the cabinetry by
	adjusting the hinge side front foot.
	Adjust the handle side foot until it touches the floor and	Fig.10 Uneven door alignment

12 Installation instructions

6. What to do if your product is unstable

EGently push the refrigerator back until the rear rollers contact floor.

Measure the gap under the front foot, which has come off the floor.

Obtain some solid packing material (hardwood, plastic etc) which fits firmly into the gap under the foot.

Note: Do not use metallic materials that may corrode, stain and/or damage floor coverings.

FWind both front feet up and roll the product out of position.

Place the packing material in the location diagonally opposite the front roller that lifts off the floor.

Make sure the packing material stays in place when the product is pushed back into position.

Ideally, the packing material is large enough to rest against the back wall so as to prevent it moving when the cabinet is pushed into position.

Example only

Un-level floor

This foot lifts off the floor when top front is gently pushed back

Fig.13 Stabilizing your refrigerator

GRoll the refrigerator back into position and adjust front feet as per step D. (Check alignment and door closing action are satisfactory).

Make small adjustments to front feet where necessary.

Check that the product is stable (all 4 feet are on the floor). If not return to step E and repeat steps F and G.

Installation instructions 13

Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments	EN

Remove all packaging. Ensure that all transit clips are removed from the refrigerator. These are small rubber stops located at the back of the shelves.

Allow the refrigerator and freezer to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the appropriate temperature.

Clean the inside of the appliance with a mix of warm water and a little liquid detergent and a soft cloth to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.

The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the refrigerator and freezer have cooled sufficiently.

Energy efficiency

Do not cover your appliances with any material that will prevent air from flowing around the cabinet sides.

Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary.

Allow good clearances in front of the air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.

Moving or storing your refrigerator

If your refrigerator is turned off for any reason, wait 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

Moving your refrigerator

Turn off the appliance and unplug from the power point. Remove all food. Turn the adjustable feet to the right as far as they will turn (see page 11).

Ease the refrigerator out of its position. Tuck the power cord away and tape the doors closed. Tape the shelves in place. If the cabinet needs to be placed at an angle or laid down, carefully lay it on its side (the right hand side when viewed from the front).

Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

Storing your refrigerator

When storing your cleaned appliance, leave the doors open. This allows air to circulate and prevents the build up of bacteria and moulds.

Before using again, clean well using a mixture of warm water and baking soda (add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to each 500 ml of water). Rinse with clean water.

Holiday time

We recommend you leave your refrigerator operating while you are on holiday.

22 Active Smart™ special features

Fruit and Vegetable Bins and Humidity Control Cover

The fruit and vegetable bins feature a unique cover which provides two functions:

The humidity cover seals the bins and provides a humid microclimate to extend storage times of fruit and vegetables.

The humidity cover prevents condensation, which forms at high humidities, from dripping down onto the fruit and vegetables. The ability to retain high humidity in the fruit and vegetable bins, may mean small amounts of water will pool in the bottom of the fruit and vegetable bins. This can be wiped out as required.

Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity slide

Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity adaptor control that can be adjusted to a fruit or vegetable setting depending on what is stored in the bins.

If possible try to store fruit and vegetables separately. This will help extend their storage life. If there is a mixture of fruit and vegetables in the bin adjust the position of the control to the centre.

If there is too much water in the bins the control can be adjusted towards the setting showing fewer drips (fruit setting).

Remember a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage.

When activated or deactivated the icon will flash and on or off will be displayed in the

We recommend that you do not disable the filter indicator if you have a filter fitted to the connection.

Important!

To avoid serious illness or death, do not use the water filter where water is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after use of filter.

The water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the filter indicator icon flashes on the interface panel.

We recommend the water filter cartridge is replaced when the icon flashes. This will happen every 6 months.

If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.

If system has not been used for several months and water has an unpleasant taste or odour, flush system by dispensing 8-10 L (8-10 qt) of water. If unpleasant taste or odour persists, change filter cartridge.

Important!

Your refrigerator is designed to operate for many years without the need for service checks. However, if your refrigerator is malfunctioning, have it attended to by your Fisher & Paykel Appliances Authorised Service Centre as soon as possible. All electrical repairs must be carried out by an adequately trained service technician or qualified electrician.

28 Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator

Exterior

Stainless exterior doors (Iridium or EZKleen finishes)

It is important when cleaning the exterior door surface of your refrigerator, to only use liquid dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water, and a soft cloth.

Dry the door with a clean, lint free cloth.

The use of any abrasive or stainless steel cleaners and solvents will damage the door surface.

Water dispenser pad and interface

We have incorporated a Dispenser and Key Lock function in your refrigerator to make cleaning easier (refer to page 20). This will help you to avoid accidental water dispensing while you clean. Clean the pad and interface panel with a soft damp cloth.

Other exterior surfaces

Clean all other exterior surfaces with a mix of warm water and detergent and a soft cloth. If necessary, clean the magnetic door gasket and the centre door gaskets with an old toothbrush, warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.

Water evaporator tray

The water evaporator tray is found above the compressor at the back of the refrigerator or freezer. The tray may require infrequent cleaning.

Carefully move the refrigerator or freezer out from the wall. Switch off the appliance.

We do not recommend that you remove the evaporator tray. If cleaning is required, excess water can be soaked up from the evaporator tray using a sponge. Wipe out with warm water and detergent or disinfectant.

Reassemble taking care not to over-tighten the fasteners. Switch on the appliance.

Drip Tray

To clean, take the tray out of the dispenser panel and pull the two halves of the tray apart.

Clean in warm water with a mild detergent. Dry the tray and clip back together.

Reinsert the tray back into the dispenser panel.
