Safety and warnings

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons read the IMPORTANT SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS before operating this appliance.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide.

Important safety precautions

Warning

When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including the following:

Danger



This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,

sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given

supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.



Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.



The manufacturer’s installation instructions for product and cabinetry ventilation must be

followed when installing the appliance.



Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of

obstruction.



Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.



Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Disposal



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

– The refrigerant gas must be safely removed.

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

climb inside.



Your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer will be able to give advice on environmentally friendly

methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.

Electrical



Your new appliance must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions before use.



Never unplug your refrigerator or freezer 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 freezer 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.



When moving your appliance be careful not to roll over or damage the powercord.



Unplug your refrigerator or freezer before cleaning or replacing the lightbulb.



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.

Storing food and drinks



DO NOT store explosive substances such as aerosols cans with a flammable propellant in this

appliance.



Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator or freezer 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. Follow the recommendations below if

you discover food in your freezer has thawed:

1) Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter period than

recommended.

2) 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.

3) Thawed but warmer than 5°C – discard all foods.



Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Important!

Cleaning



Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack plastic

components of your refrigerator or freezer and cause them to crack. Please refer to the cleaning

care section of this booklet for further advice.

Safety and warnings

Installation instructions

Please follow the steps for installation to ensure your appliance operates correctly.

1. Power



The appliance must be installed so the plug is accessible.



To ensure that the appliance is not accidentally switched off, connect your refrigerator or freezer

to its own power point. Do not plug in any other appliance at this power point or use extension

cords and double adaptors, as the combined weight of both power cords can pull the double

adaptor from a wall outlet socket.



For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate located at the front bottom

right-hand side of the refrigerator when the door is open. On chest freezers the serial plate is

located on the right-hand-side at the bottom.



It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed).

2. Location



Your refrigerator or freezer should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat

generating appliance such as a cooktop, oven or dishwasher.

3. Ventilation and installation

For all products with a freezer ‘drawer’ (RF522W and RF522A), refer to pages 8 – 9 for installation

instructions. For all products with a freezer ‘door’ refer to page 6 – 7 for installation instructions.



To ensure adequate ventilation for your refrigerator or vertical freezer, see recommended

cabinetry dimensions below.



To ensure adequate ventilation for chest freezers, allow a minimum of 20mm of airspace on each

side of the cabinet, and 30mm at the rear.



If integrating your refrigerator, follow installation instructions provided with the integration kits.
