Important Safety Information

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

INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

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

Warning

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

Danger

This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

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

Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer:

–Take off the doors

–Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

Disposal

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

refrigerant gas must be safely removed and for the safety of young children, remove doors.

Your Fisher & Paykel Appliances Authorised Service Center will be able to give advice on

environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.

Electrical

This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instruction before it

is used.

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 its power point 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 Appliances

Authorised Service Center because special purpose tools are required.

When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the

power cord.

Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning or replacing the lightbulb.

Important Safety Information

Storing Food and Drinks

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 e.g. 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 4˚C /40˚F. Red meat can be cooked immediately and refrozen but

use as soon as possible. Discard all other frozen foods.

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

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.

Installation - Four Essential Requirements

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.

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 range or dishwasher.

3. Stability

It is important that all four corners of the refrigerator or freezer base are supported firmly on the

floor to eliminate any cabinet movement.

Installing the appliance on a soft or uneven or unlevel floor may result in twisting of the cabinet

and poor sealing of the doors. If the doors do not seal properly, warm air will enter the food

storage areas causing the temperature to increase, resulting in food spoilage and food loss.

Before moving your refrigerator or freezer into its position, ensure that the adjustable front feet

are fully retracted by turning them anticlockwise (counter-clockwise), ie. towards the right of

the cabinet.

Position your refrigerator or freezer. Turn the adjustable feet clockwise, ie. to the left, to lower

the adjustable front feet. Raise the front of the appliance until it is stable and the doors move

towards the closed position, on their own, when open.

The front levelling foot on the hinge side should take the majority of the weight of the cabinet

and the cabinet should be stable, i.e. cabinet should not rock or wobble.

Installation - Four Essential Requirements

4. Ventilation and Installation

To ensure adequate ventilation for your

refrigerator or freezer see recommended

cabinetry dimensions below.

The appliance is intended to be placed against a

wall with a free distance not exceeding 3” (75mm).

If building the appliance into a cupboard, follow

installation instructions provided with the

integration kits.

Installation - Four Essential Requirements

Before Placing Food in the Fresh Food or Freezer Compartments

Remove all packaging. Ensure that all transit clips are removed from the refrigerator. These are

small rubber stops located at the back of the shelves.

Allow the refrigerator and freezer to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each compartment to

cool to the appropriate temperature.

Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove

manufacturing and transportation dust.

The appliance may have an odor on its initial operation, but this will go when the refrigerator

and freezer have cooled sufficiently.

Energy Efficiency

Do not cover your appliances with any material that will prevent air from flowing around the

cabinet sides.

Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary.

Allow good clearances in front of the air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold

air distribution.

Moving or Storing Your Refrigerator

If your refrigerator or freezer is turned off for any reason, wait 10 minutes before turning it back

on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

Moving Your Refrigerator

Turn off the appliance and unplug from the power point. Remove all food.

Turn the adjustable feet to the right as far as they will turn (see page 6).

Ease the refrigerator out of its position. Tuck the power cord away and tape the doors closed.

Tape the shelves in place. If the cabinet needs to be placed at an angle or laid down, carefully lay

it on its side (the right hand side when viewed from the front).

Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it

standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

Storing Your Refrigerator or Freezer

When storing your cleaned appliance, leave the door(s) open. This allows air to circulate and

prevents the build up of bacteria and moulds.

Before using again, clean well using a mixture of warm water and baking soda (add 1 teaspoon

of baking soda to each 1 pint (500 ml) of water). Rinse with clean water.

Vacation Time

We recommend you leave your refrigerator or freezer operating while you are on vacation.

Active Smart™ Operating Instructions

For information on the operation of the Ice & Water control panel please refer to

the Ice & Water User Guide.

Temperature Control

When the refrigerator is first turned on, the powerful cooling system will automatically cool both

refrigerator and freezer compartments to their set temperatures. This will take between 2 – 3

hours depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment.

The two compartment temperatures are accurately and independently controlled and do not

change with the temperature or humidity of the surroundings; whether summer or winter.

If you wish to alter the temperature of either the fresh food compartment or freezer

compartment, this can be easily done by using the Control panel located at the back of the fresh

food compartment.

Fresh Food Compartment

The fresh food compartment light on the refrigerator diagram will be showing. The temperature

indicator illustrated by a thermometer will show the temperature setting for this compartment as

a series of lights.

The temperature may be altered by pressing the increase temperature or decrease temperature

buttons. One press on either of these buttons will produce a dimmer light which indicates a

small change in temperature.

Pressing either button twice gives a brighter light and indicates a greater change in temperature.

Fewer lights on the thermometer means a cooler temperature for the compartment selected.

Freezer Foods Compartment

To adjust the freezer temperature press the compartment select button until the light flashes on

the freezer compartment indicator.

The freezer temperature can be altered by pressing the increase or decrease temperature buttons.

One press on either of these buttons will produce a dimmer light which indicates a small change

in temperature. Pressing either button twice gives a brighter light and indicates a greater change

in temperature.

Note: Successively pressing the compartment select button will automatically select between the

compartments, a return to the fresh food compartment will be accompanied by a longer beep.

When the door is reopened the control panel will return automatically to the fresh food

compartment setting.
