the installation instructions before use.
• To allow disconnection of the appliance from the
supply after installation, incorporate a switch in the
fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
• 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 trained and

purpose tools are required.
• When moving your appliance away from the wall, be
careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.

portable power supplies at the rear 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 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
tocrack.
• 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 and caring for
your refrigerator’ section of this user guide for
further information.
Disposal
• Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your
old appliance to avoid hazards:
– The flammable refrigerant gas must be
safely removed.
6
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
– 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.
Food Safety
• Regularly clean accessible draining systems and
surfaces that come in contact with food.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the
refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip
onto other food.
• If the appliance will be left empty for long periods,
switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the
door open to prevent mould developing within
the appliance.
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.
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
bare skin, eg frozen ice cubes.
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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Water filter
IMPORTANT!
• The water connection to your Ice & water refrigerator
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. Checkwith 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.
9
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• If the water has not created ice for some time or ice
has an unpleasant taste or odour dispose of ice and
refer to ‘Before you start using the Ice & Water or
Automatic Ice function’ for flushing instructions. If
unpleasant taste or odour persists, you may wish to
fit a new filter cartridge.
• Use new tubing supplied with the refrigerator.
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.
• Clean the water tanks if they have not been used for
48 hours. Flush the water system connected to the
water supply if water has not been used for 5 days.

contact your Fisher&Paykel trained and supported
service technician.
