1 SAFETY AND WARNINGS

!

WARNING!

Electric Shock Hazard
Read and follow the safety and warnings outlined in this installation
guide before operating this refrigerator.
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 refrigerator is top-heavy and must be secured to prevent the
possibility of tippingforward.

To ensure that the refrigerator is stable under all loading conditions,
theanti-tip bracket and fittings supplied must be installed according
tothe following installation instructions by a professional installer.

IMPORTANT!



The water connection to your Ice & water refrigerator must be installed by an
authorized 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 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.

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.

IMPORTANT!

!3 ALIGN YOUR PRODUCT INSIDE CABINETRY

IMPORTANT!



Ensure that all four corners of the refrigerator are supported firmly onto the floor to
eliminate any movement.



Installing the refrigerator on a soft, uneven, or not level floor may result in twisting
oftheproduct and poor door sealing.



Raise the refrigerator using a 7/16” (11mm) hex socket or 3/16” (4mm) hex key.
Oneturnof height adjusting nuts is equivalent to 1/16” (1mm) height travel.

Note: Maximum turn is 13/16” (20mm).



Use low torque setting to avoid damage to height adjustment system.


