!3 ATTACH THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET
IMPORTANT!
Ensure the door of the appliance is closed when rolling into the cabinetry. DO NOT attempt to open the door until the
appliance is fully installed. The anti-tip bracket and fittings supplied must be fitted to the wall of the finished enclosure
to withstand a 100kg load. Ensure that the anti-tip bracket is installed correctly to prevent the possibility of the appliance
tipping forward when the door is open.
WARNING!
Read the following reminders before fastening with masonry plugs and/or screws to avoid serious injury or possible death:
Ensure the screws avoid electrical, gas and water conduits.
Ensure that the surface where the bracket is fastened can withstand a 100kg load.
Ensure light-weight masonry material such as cinder block and new concrete (no curing time) are not used in installation.
Do not use metallic materials that may corrode, stain and/or damage the enclosure.

!6 DUAL INSTALLATION
Dual installation includes two appliances installed side by
side. Refer to ‘Cavity dimensions’ section for cabinetry
overall width for dual install. A joiner kit is required for
dual installation and is available through an authorised
Fisher&Paykel dealer. Please visit fisherpaykel.com for

1 Roll the second appliance into the cabinetry side by side with the first appliance. (A)
2 Before rolling the appliance, insert a barbed plug into a large hole on the cabinetry side of
the second appliance to protect the inside of the cabinetry from being damaged by screws
on the side of the appliance (B).
3 Continue rolling the appliance into the cabinetry until the anti-tip bracket overlaps
(minimum 180mm) the back top surface of the appliance. (Refer to ‘Attach the anti-tip
bracket’).

!6 DUAL INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT!
Ensure the door is in line with the cabinetry front and the appliance is centred.
All four corners of the appliance must be supported firmly onto the floor to eliminate
any movement. Installing the appliance on a soft, uneven, or not level floor may cause
twisting and poor door sealing.
Adjusting height of the second appliance inside the cabinetry
1 Turn the front and rear adjustment screws using a Cross-head screwdriver (or powered
driver) to extend the feet until it engages the floor.
– One turn of height adjusting nuts is equivalent to 0.5mm of height adjustment.
Clockwise turn raises the height and counter-clockwise turn lowers height (A).

IMPORTANT!
The assembly of Fisher & Paykel (Stainless steel) door
panels and Custom door panels are outlined below.
Ensure to protect the finish of the Fisher&Paykel
Stainless steel door panels. Leave the protective film on
the panels when hanging. Remove the film only when
the installation is complete.
If using Custom door panels, ensure they are prepared
as per ‘Custom door panel dimensions’ section.
Attach the door handle
1 For Stainless steel door panel:
Remove the plastic plugs from handle holes (x4).
Align the handle to the holes and secure with M5x25
hex screws (A).
For Custom panels:
Fix the handle with M5x25 hex screws from the inner
edge of the panel.
Refer to ‘Custom door panel dimensions’ section
to ensure door handle does not interfere with side
attachment brackets.
Hang the door panel
2 Open the door and loosen the screws at both sides of
the door (do not remove) (B).
3 Hang the door panel with a small angle to the door by
locating the holes of the top bracket to the M8 studs
(C), and rotate the door panel down so that the side
attachment brackets slide onto the side screws of the
door. (D)
4 Screw the M8 washer and nut to the stud (E), and
re-tighten the side screws (B) to fix the door panel
(do not fully tighten). This will allow opening the door
without affecting adjustment of the door panel.
IMPORTANT!
We recommended to load the shelves in the
appliance door with weights to ensure an
accurate door panel gap width.
Note: All door panels have full axis adjustment to ensure they are flush with adjacent walls.
1 To adjust the height of the door panel relative to the door, use M4 hex key to turn the top
M8 screw (A) clockwise to lower or counter-clockwise to raise the door panel until the gap
with the cabinetry above is 3mm.
2 To adjust the depth of the door panel, loosen the side screws (B) from each side and slide
the panel forward/backward. Re-tighten once satisfied.
3 To adjust the door panels further, remove the door panels then loosen the fixing screws for
the hanging bracket and move the bracket sideways to suit. (C)
4 Once satisfied with the door panel position, fully tighten M8 washer and nut to the stud
using a M4 hex key (A).
