• Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid
expands during freezing, which may cause the
container to explode.
7
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• 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

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.

IMPORTANT!
It is imperative the pressure reducing valve (PRV) is fitted prior to the filter. If the PRV
is not fitted to the connection line, the Ice & Water features may not function in some
circumstances.
The water connection to your Ice & Water refrigerator must be installed by an
authorised plumber or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
The water connection instructions below are intended only for the professional installer.
The new tubings supplied with the refrigerator are to be used, old tubings from old
water and ice connections should not be used.
Replacement parts are available through Customer Care or online at
www.fisherpaykel.com (this service is available to selected markets only).
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 119psi (827kPa) or below 22psi (150kPa).
DO NOT use on hot water supply 38°C max.
DO NOT cut any length of tube shorter than 200mm.
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 or any water tubing 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 the refrigerator.
DO NOT install the filter or any water tubing in high temperature areas eg in a ceiling
cavity.
AVOID contamination of pipes during installation.
DO NOT use copper tubing. The plastic tubing supplied should always be used.
DO NOT continuously dispense water for longer than 2minutes.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation instructions:
Ensure the refrigerator is NOT plugged into a
1
powersupply.
Locate a cold water supply/feed only suitable
2
for a water connection. Tee and tap fitting is
not supplied.
Connect the 200mm (8”) tubing to the outlet of
3
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.
Connect the 6mm (1/4”) tubing to the outlet of
4
the water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram2.
Gently pull to ensure it is locked.
Measure the required length of tubing to run
5
from the PRV to the water connection point (no
less than 250mm).
Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square
6
and clean.
Connect the tubing to the faucet connection
7
and the base of the PRV (white collet) and then
to the faucet as shown in Diagram3. Please
note that the faucet connection supplied should
fit most installation situations.
Connect one locking key to each side of the
8
water filter cartridge in between the cartridge
and the locking collet as shown in Diagram4.
To flush the water filter of any trapped air,
9
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 4L of
water through. Once complete, turn isolating
faucet off.
Locate desired position for water filter noting
!0
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 faucet in a cupboard beside the
refrigerator.
A minimum clearance of 64mm from the
bottom of the filter cartridge is required to
perform cartridge removal.
Do not screw water filter to refrigerator.
