•Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of obstruction.
•Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.
•Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
•In case of damage to the refrigerant circuit, ventilate the area by opening all windows. Do not operate electrical equipment or any other equipment that may produce arcs, sparks or flames in the area. Contact your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician immediately to arrange for the appliance to be repaired.

•If the power supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician 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.

However, if your refrigerator is malfunctioning, have it attended to by your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician as soon as possible. All electrical repairs must be carried out by an adequately trained service technician or qualified electrician.
Cleaning
•Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents that may attack the plastic components of your refrigerator and cause them to crack.
•Avoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on either the interior or exterior of the cabinet as they may cause rusting of metal components and cracking of plastic components.
•Please refer to the ‘Cleaning care’ section of this user guide for further information.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Disposal
•Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards:
–The flammable refrigerant gas must be safely removed.
–The thermal insulation foam in this appliance contains flammable insulation blowing gases, any exposed foam may be highly flammable and must be carefully treated during disposal.
–The doors and panels should be removed and the shelves left in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
•Your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician will be able to give advice on environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.
Storing food and drinks
•Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
•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, eg frozen ice cubes.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Power failure — food safety
•Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat. Follow the recommendations below if you discover food in your freezer has thawed:
–Ice crystals still visible — food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter period than recommended.
–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.
–Thawed and warmer than 5°C — discard all food.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS — GENERAL
Please follow the steps for installation to ensure your appliance operates correctly.
Location
Your refrigerator should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat generating appliance such as a cooktop, oven or dishwasher.
Power
●●To ensure that the appliance is not accidentally switched off, connect your refrigerator to its own power point. Do not plug in any other appliance at this power point or use extension cords and double adaptors, as the combined weight of both power cords can pull the double adaptor from a wall outlet socket.
●●For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate located inside the refrigerator compartment.
●●It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed).
Energy saving tips
There are many simple things that can be done to save energy.
During installation
●●Locate refrigerator to the coolest part of the room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts, registers, or other heat producing appliances.
●●Ensure your refrigerator has adequate ventilation as shown in the installation instructions.
During use
●●Avoid overcrowding shelves, as this reduces airflow.
●●Do not use anything (such as aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towelling) as a shelf liner, as this reduces airflow.
●●Avoid loading too much warm food in at once and allow good clearances in front of the air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.
●●Your refrigerator is most efficient when it is two thirds full.
●●Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary and organise items in the refrigerator to reduce the time that the door is open.
Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments
●●Remove all packaging found inside the compartments eg tape, polystyrene etc.
●●Clean the inside of the appliance with a mixture of warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.
●●The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the refrigerator has cooled sufficiently.
●●Allow the refrigerator to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the appropriate temperature.
