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.

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 persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

■■Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.

■■Refer to the stability bracket and leaflet supplied to avoid hazard due to instability of the appliance.

■■The manufacturer’s installation instructions for product and cabinetry ventilation must be followed when installing the appliance.

■■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 Authorized Service Agent immediately to arrange for the appliance to be repaired.

Disposal

■■Extreme care must be taken when disposing your old appliance to avoid hazards:

The refrigerant gas must be safely removed

The doors should be removed and the shelves left in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

■■Your Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent will be able to give advice on environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.

Cleaning

■■Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack plastic components of your refrigerator and cause them to crack. Please refer to the cleaning care section of this booklet for further advice.

US 4 Safety and warnings

CA

Electrical

■■This appliance must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions before use.

■■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 Authorized Service Agent 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.

■■Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance.

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 Authorized Service Agent as soon as possible. All electrical repairs must be carried out by an adequately trained service technician or qualified electrician.

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.

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 41°F (5°C) – discard all food.

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

US

 

 

 

 

 

 

CA

 

 

 

 

Please follow the installation steps below to ensure your appliance operates correctly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1.Power

■■The appliance must be installed so the plug is accessible.

■■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 at the front bottom right-hand side of the refrigerator when the door is open.

■■It is essential that the appliance is properly grounded (earthed).

2.Location

■■Your refrigerator should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat generating appliance such as a cooktop, oven or dishwasher.

3.Ice & Water (Ice & Water models only)

■■Your Ice & Water refrigerator must be installed by an authorized plumber or Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent as incorrect plumbing can lead to water leaks.

■■Fisher & Paykel Appliances does not accept responsibility for damage (including water damage) caused by faulty installation or plumbing.

Installation instructions:

1 Ensure the refrigerator is NOT plugged into a power supply.

2Locate a cold water supply/feed only suitable for a water connection. Tee and tap fitting is not supplied.

3 Connect the 8” (200 mm) 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 ¼/4” (6 mm) 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 (no less than 10” (250 mm)).

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

7Connect the tubing to the faucet connection and the base

of the PRV (white collet) and then to the faucet as shown in Diagram 3. Please note that the faucet connection supplied should fit most installation situations.

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 of any trapped air, harmless carbon fines and to also check for leaks, aim the end

of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating faucet on and run at least 10 qt (10 L) of water through. Once complete, turn isolating faucet off.

10 Locate 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 minimize 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 faucet in a cupboard beside the refrigerator.

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

cartridge removal.

■■Do not screw water filter to refrigerator.

7. Installation (all models)

Your Fisher & Paykel ActiveSmart™ refrigerator is fitted with front and rear rollers, designed for moving the product in the forwards and backwards direction.

Avoid moving the product in a sideways direction

 

Raise the front of

 

the refrigerator

as this may damage the rollers or the floor

Lower the front

 

covering/surface.

of the refrigerator

 

A Your refrigerator will arrive with the front feet

Fig.11 Refrigerator feet

wound up making moving the product into its

 

 

final location a simple task.

 

 

B Roll 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 6).

C Adjust the front feet down until the refrigerator is leaning backward with the front approximately 1” (10 mm) higher than the back. This will ensure a good door closing action. (Refer to Fig.11).

(Non French door models only)

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

 

 

 

 

takes a small amount of weight.

Fig.12 Uneven door alignment

■■

Once the refrigerator is in place and aligned with

 

 

 

 

cupboards/alcove gently push on the front top and check

 

 

if the product is rocking or stable.

 

8. Levelling of refrigerator doors (French door models only)

■■For uneven surfaces, front feet can be used to align the

2 doors.

■■If left hand door is too low, then unscrew the left hand foot to lift up the cabinet until the two doors top edges are aligned.

■■If right hand door is too low, then adjust the right hand

foot in the same way (refer to figures 12 and 13).

9. What to do if your product is unstable

AGently push the refrigerator back until the rear rollers contact the 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.

BWind 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 from moving when the cabinet is pushed into position.

Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments

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

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

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

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

Energy efficiency

For the most energy efficient use of your appliance:

■■Ensure your refrigerator has adequate ventilation as recommended in the installation instructions.

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

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

■■Cool hot foods down before placing them in the appliance.

■■Do not overfill the compartments.

■■Keep door openings to a minimum.

■■Select a temperature setting that isn’t too cold.

■■Check your door seals for leaks.

US 18 Moving or storing your appliance

CA

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 equalize 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 (refer to page 15).

■■Ease the refrigerator out of its position. Tuck the power cord away, tape the shelves in place and tape the doors closed. 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 as long as you can (a few hours) 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 a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.

Holiday time

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

Door conversion

19

 

US

 

 

CA

 

 

 

ActiveSmart™ refrigerator models with silver handles need to be ordered at the point of purchase either with left or right opening doors and can not be interchanged.

All other models need to have an appropriate conversion kit for that model refrigerator.

The kit is available from your Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent or Dealer. Full instructions are included in the conversion kit.

If you need to hinge your door on the opposite side we recommend that you call your local Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent or Dealer to make this conversion.

This does not apply to French door models.

Soft closing refrigerator door feature (where fitted)

The fresh food compartment of your refrigerator has been fitted with a soft closing door feature. You do not need to push the door fully closed as this feature will automatically close the door from a 45° (approximate) opening angle.

All soft close models

You may notice a little more resistance when opening the door(s) to what you are used to.

The closing speed of the door(s) decelerates at the end of closing. This is to prevent the door(s) from slamming and to ensure your food items are cared for.

The speed of soft closing can depend on:

■■The load stored in the door shelves.

■■The temperature of the fresh food compartment.

■■The ambient temperature.

French door soft close models only

The soft closing feature enables you to shut either the left or right door first.

You may notice that the closing speed of the left hand door is slightly faster than that of the right hand door. This is perfectly normal.

The freezer drawer is fitted with an additional mechanism to soft close within the last 2” (50 mm).

Important!

■■Keep hands and food items clear of the door opening when the gap less than 45° (the soft close activation range).

■■The soft closing feature is located inside the door cavity therefore it is not serviceable by the user. If a problem occurs, please contact your Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent.

Changing the water filter cartridge

It is not necessary to turn off the water supply before attempting to change the water filter cartridge.

1Grasp and firmly twist the cartridge in an anticlockwise direction (to the left when installed in the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 1.

2Pull the cartridge away from the filter head (down when installed in the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 2 of Fig 22 below.

It is not unusual for a few drops of water to be present when the filter is removed.

3Discard the old filter.

4Filter installation:

Remove protective cap on spigot on head.

Push the cartridge up towards filter head while rotating it in a clockwise direction (to the right when installed in the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 3.

5Reset filter indicator icon on the display (this will remind you when the filter is due to be replaced again). Refer to page 27.

6To flush the water filter of any trapped air, harmless carbon fines and to also check for leaks, disconnect the tubing from the back of the refrigerator, aim the end of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating tap on and run at least 10 qt (10 liters) of water through. Once complete turn isolating tap off. Reconnect the tubing.

7A few drips may appear out of the dispenser over the next few days as the remaining trapped air is cleared.

Important!

■■To avoid serious illness or death, do not use the water filter where water is unsafe or of unknown quality.

■■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 internal and external icons illuminate. This will happen every 6 months.

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

■■The rate of water flow through the water dispenser can slow down as the filter cartridge accumulates any sediment which may be present in the water supplied to your home. This varies depending upon your local water quality, which may require your filter cartridge to be changed more frequently.

■■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 been dispensed for some time or water has an unpleasant taste or odor, flush system by dispensing 10 qt (10 liters) of water.

■■If unpleasant taste or odor persists, you may wish to fit a new filter cartridge.

28 Using your ice maker (Ice & Water models only)

Ice On/Off

Your ice maker is designed to automatically dispense ice until it senses that the bin is full. So the more ice you use, the more it makes. It is even clever enough to sense when there is no bin in place to catch the ice and it will not dispense any ice.

First use

■■When you first turn your refrigerator on after installation, the

ice maker will be off. The light above the ICE ON/OFF icon will be off.

■■To turn your ice maker on press the button. The light above the ICE ON/OFF icon will be illuminated when the ice maker is on.

■■Press and hold , and together for 4 seconds then close the door(s). The ice tray will flip. Force another cycle. The ice tray will flip and spill the water into the ice bin. Empty water and replace bin.

■■If the bin is full of ice, inserted incorrectly or if all bins are removed, the ice maker will not operate. When the bin is inserted correctly the scoop will be on the right hand side of the bin for models RF135B, E522B, RF170W and RF170A and at the front of the bin for RF201A models (refer to Fig.24).

■■Once your ice maker is in operation, discard the first 3 harvests of ice (8 ice cubes are produced per harvest). This will flush away any impurities in the water line and ensure that you get the best

quality ice. We recommend that you also do this after vacations or extended periods of not using ice.

■■We recommend that you turn the ice maker off if:

The water supply is to be off for several hours, or

The ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time, or

You are going on holiday/vacation.
