1 SAFETY AND WARNINGS

!

WARNING!

Electric Shock Hazard
Read and follow the safety and warnings
outlined in this installation guide before
operating this appliance.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric
shock, fire or injury topersons.

!

WARNING!

Cut Hazard
Take care — panel edges are sharp. Failure to
use caution could result in injury or cuts.

!

WARNING!

This appliance is top-heavy and must
be secured to prevent the possibility of
tippingforward.
To ensure that the appliance is stable under
all loading conditions, theanti-tip bracket
and fittings supplied must be installed
according tothe following installation steps
by a professional installer.

IMPORTANT!

●

It is very important for the installer to follow the instructions in this installation guide
to ensure proper installation and operation of the appliance. Ensure that you read the
installation guide thoroughly and understand all information.

●

The water connection to your Ice and water appliance must be installed by a 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. Checkwith
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 detailed in the installation section
ofthis user guide / installation guide. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, you may wish
tofit a new filter cartridge.

●

Use new tubing supplied with the appliance. DO NOT reuse old tubing from old water
andice connections.

●

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.

WARNING!

To reduce the risk associated with choking:

●

DO NOT allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the
installation of the water filter.

!1 BEFORE INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT!

●

Your appliance is fitted with front and rear rollers designed for moving the appliance
forward and backward. Donot move the appliance sideways as this may damage the
rollers or the floor covering  /  surface.

●

The appliance must be installed by a qualified installer, or Fisher & Paykel trained and
supported service technician to avoid faulty electrical connection and water leaks.

Check installation location

Check the cabinetry

1

– Check the dimensions — height, width, depth, floor level,

finishedalcovereturns.
– Ensure that the ventilation openings in the cabinetry are clear of obstruction.
– For integrated installation, a finished return of solid material is required

across thetopand sides of the new or existing alcove.
– Refer to the ‘Appliance and cavity Dimensions’ (page 7) prior to installation

of the appliance.

Check the power supply

2

– Ensure that there is a separate power outlet for the appliance.
– Avoid sharing the power point with other appliances to prevent the

appliancefromaccidentally switching off.
– For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate.

Thisislocated atthe front right-hand side of the drawer when open.
– Ensure your appliance is properly grounded (earthed).
– Connect the appliance to the electrical supply (115 VAC, 60 Hz) with fitted

plug andlead.
– We recommend to use an isolating switch that is easily accessible to

theuserafterthe appliance is installed.
– Follow the National Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances

wheninstallingthis appliance.

●

All connections for water, electrical power and grounding must comply with local codes
and ordinances and be made by licensed personnel when required.

●

Avoid installation of the appliance/s under a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

●

Ensure the appliance is installed properly. Improper installation that results in appliance
failure is not covered under the appliance warranty.

Check the water supply (for Ice and Water models only)

3

– Ensure that there is a separate water supply connection for the appliance.
– Your appliance must be installed by a qualified appliance installer as

incorrect plumbingcanlead to water leaks.
– Fisher & Paykel is not liable for damage (including water damage) caused

byfaultyinstallation or plumbing.

!7 POSITIONING INTO CABINETRY

IMPORTANT!

● ●

Your appliance is fitted with front and rear rollers designed for moving the appliance in

the forwards and backwards direction.

● ●

Avoid moving the appliance in a sideways direction as this may damage the rollers or

the floor covering/surface.

●

Position the appliance into the cabinetry

Ensure the power cord are secured to the clip at the back

1

of the appliance (A) and the excess water hose coiled flat
behind the appliance.

Push the appliance into the cabinetry until the anti-tip bracket

2

overlaps the rear top edge of the appliance (B).

– Ensure the appliance is centered.
– Ensure there is firm contact between the appliance and

anti-tip bracket withamin.2 3/8" (60mm) overlap (C).

● ●

Ensure the hose is not run over by the appliance when pushing into the cabinetry to

prevent damage and possible water leaks.

● ●

Ensure water tubing is routed away from any sharp objects, sharp corners (beware of
kinking the tube as this will stop water flow), and not in a location where it can be kinked
or squashed.

Supplied tools

Hex key

Tools

Ruler

Powered driver (optional)

Cross-head screwdriver

IMPORTANT!

●

Ensure all four corners of the appliance is supported firmly onto the floor
to eliminate any movement.

●

DO NOT install the appliance on a soft, uneven, or unlevelled floor
toavoidtwisting the appliance and poor door sealing.

●

We recommend to use A 4mm hex key.

●

One turn of height adjusting nuts is equivalent to 1mm heightadjustment.
Note: Maximum height adjustment is 13/16" (20mm).

Align appliance inside the cabinetry

1 Centre the appliance within the alcove, using the adjacent

walls as a guide.

2 Raise the front of the appliance until the fixing brackets

contact the ceiling of the enclosure (A).

z

Turn the front and rear adjusting nuts (B) clockwise to
raise the roller or counter-clockwise to lower the roller.

3 To achieve correct alignment between front of the doors

and adjacent cabinetry panels, turn the adjusting nuts
alternately between front and rear rollers.

4 Check the gaps top and bottom, left and right by placing a

ruler on the front of the appliance.

z

Ensure the gaps between appliance and adjacent
cabinetry are even on both sides (C).

z

This step will help ensure the appliance is level with the
adjacent cabinetry

5 Gently push the front of the appliance to check

the stability

●

●

●

Place a ruler on the
front of the appliance to
check flushness top and
bottom, left and right

If using a powered driver, use low torque setting to avoid the nut
disengaging from the rod and damaging theleveling system. If the nut
disengages, use the hex key to realign with rod.
Ensure that the top, bottom and side gap differences are not greater than

1.5mm to achieve correct alignment.
Finalalignment will be achieved once door panels have been installed
andthe appliance is pushed back to sit flush with the cabinetry.
