SAFETY AND WARNINGS

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 Authorised Repairer immediately to arrange for the appliance to be repaired.

It is hazardous for anyone other than an authorised service person to service this appliance. In Queensland the authorised service person must hold a gas work licence or authorisation for hydrocarbon refrigerants to carry our service or repairs which involve removal of covers.

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 Authorised Repairer because special purpose tools are required.

4

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

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 Authorised Repairer 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 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.

Disposal

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

The flammable refrigerant gas must be safely removed.

The thermal insulation foam contained in this appliance is produced by flammable insulation blowing gases, any exposed foam may be highly flammable and must be carefully treated during disposal.

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

5

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

Your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer will be able to give advice on environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.

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. 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.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Positioning your appliance

Choosing the right location

This appliance should be installed in a room that is dry and well ventilated. To provide adequate ventilation, make sure the refrigerator is at least 20 mm clear on all sides from kitchen cabinetry, and 30 mm from the back wall. Any units placed above the appliance must be clear by 50 mm to allow sufficient ventilation.

If locating the refrigerator close to a corner, sufficient spacing must be left for opening the doors and removing the shelves.

This appliance should be at least 100 mm from any electric or gas cooker. If this is not possible, make

sure that appropriate insulation is used (eg insulated wall).

Avoid exposing the appliance to direct sunlight, and sources of heat (such as radiators, heaters or cookers).

Locating this appliance in a cold environment (such as a shed, outhouse or garage) may compromise its performance. A consistent room temperature of 10°C or above is recommended to ensure optimum performance and food care.
