 Follow the National Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances when installing
this product.
 Warning: Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) may trip during normal operation
of your refrigerator and interrupt the power supply. The use of a GFCI is not
recommended with this product.
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
DCS by Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent 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 that may attack the
plastic components of your refrigerator and cause them tocrack.
 Avoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on either the interior or exterior
of the cabinet as they may cause rusting of metal components and cracking of
plasticcomponents.
 Please refer to the ‘Cleaning care’ section of this user guide for further information.
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 in this appliance contains flammable insulation
blowing gases, any exposed foam may be highly flammable and must be
carefully treated during disposal.

MOVING AND STORING YOUR APPLIANCE
TO ENSURE YOUR APPLIANCE OPERATES CORRECTLY PLEASE REFER TO THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BOOKLET SUPPLIED WITH THIS PRODUCT.
If your refrigerator is turned off for any reason, wait 10minutes before turning it back
on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalize before restarting.
Moving your appliance
 Turn off the appliance at the isolating switch and unplug from the power point. Remove
all food.
 Refer to the installation instructions to free the refrigerator from its surrounds. Gently
ease the appliance out of its position, switch isolating faucet off and disconnect water
fittings; and tuck the power cord away.
 If applicable, tape the shelves in place and tape the doors closed. If the cabinet needs to
be placed on 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 as long as possible (at least a few hours) before turning it on.
 If the product has been transported upright then it can be switched on after 10minutes.
Storing your appliance
 When storing your cleaned appliance, leave the door(s) open. This allows air to circulate
and prevents the build up of bacteria and molds.

Before using your water dispenser
Ensure your ice and water system has been correctly installed by following the
installation instructions booklet supplied.
To flush the water filtration system:
 Ensure your refrigerator is switched on, and the isolation
faucet has been connected and turned on.
 Run your water dispenser pad until water dispenses, this
will displace trapped air in the water tank and filter system.

appear out of the dispenser over the next few days to clear
the remaining trapped air.
 Ensure your refrigerator has cooled for at least 2 hours
before use.
You are now ready to enjoy water from your water dispenser.
Dispensing

WATER FILTER
All the water supplied to your refrigerator is filtered through a filter cartridge, this helps
remove unwanted impurities and is located behind the kickstrip grille. To maintain water
quality we recommend replacing the filter cartridge every 6 months.
 When the filter cartridge requires replacing, the filter change icon will illuminate on
the internal control panel and/or external display. The icon will flash as a reminder on
the external display whenever water is dispensed.
 Replacement filter cartridges (part number: 839041) can be purchased through DCS by
Fisher&Paykel Customer Care Center or online at www.dcsappliances.com (this service
is available to selected markets only).
IMPORTANT!
 To avoid serious illness or death, do not use the water filter where water is unsafe or
of unknown quality.
 If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace the filter cartridge
and flush the water system following the instructions on the previous page.
 The water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the filter change icon illuminates
on the internal control panel and external display.

 Empty the water and correctly replace the bin, ensuring the scoop is located at the front
of the bin.
 Once your ice maker is in operation, discard the first 24hours of ice harvest. This will
flush away any impurities in the water line and ensure that you get the best quality ice.
We recommend that you also do this after vacations or extended periods of not using ice.
 We recommend that you turn the ice maker off if:
– The water supply is going to be off for several hours,
– The ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time,
– You are going on holiday/vacation.

USING YOUR ICE MAKER
Information about your automatic ice maker
 Your product comes with an ice storage bin located inside the top freezer bin, and a
hygienic scoop for ice. This scoop provides hygienic access to clean, clear ice cubes.
 Your automatic ice maker will produce approximately eight cubes of ice every
3–4hours, depending on the freezer compartment temperature and the number of
door openings.
 The ice cube tray will fill with filtered water.
 When cubes are frozen, they will be dispensed from the ice tray and into the ice storage
bin below.
 Ice making will continue until the storage bin is full, and only resume once you start to
use the stored ice.
 When the ‘Ice Boost’ function is activated, ice production will increase up to 30%* from
standard ice making. This function automatically deactivates after24 hours.
 If large amounts of ice are required, remove the ice storage bin and allow ice to fill the
top freezer bin.
 For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with the ice scoop.
 If ice is not used often, old cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, will shrink and may
stick together. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash in lukewarm water. Dry
thoroughly and place back into the correct position.
IMPORTANT!
 Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ice maker ejector mechanism, and do not
place your fingers on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is
inoperation.
 Do not use ice cubes that may have become discolored, usually with a green-blue
color. If such discoloration is noted, discard the ice cubes and contact your DCS by
Fisher&Paykel Authorized Service Agent.
 Ensure the ice maker is connected to the filter cartridge and to a potable water
supplyonly.
 Installation of the water connection to the ice maker must be completed by a qualified
service technician or a qualified plumber.
