SAFETY AND WARNINGS
zRepair 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.
zIf the power supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by your Fisher &

Power failure
zDo 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:
zIce crystals still visible — food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter period
than recommended.
zThawed 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.
zThawed and warmer than 41°F (5°C) — discard all food.
Cleaning
zUse mild dish-washing liquid with warm water and a lint-free cloth to clean the product.
zAvoid 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.

pre-cooked foods and
leftovers, some fruit and
vegetables, ice cream, and other
frozen desserts.

cheeses to stay fresh for longer.
Fruit and vegetables, dairy
products, jams and chutneys/
preserves, meats and drinks.
Pantry

ACTIVESMART™ SPECIAL FEATURES
Bottle chill
This feature allows you to rapidly chill your beverages (Freezer mode) without the worry of
forgetting about them. Activating ‘bottle chill’ drops the freezer down to its coldest setting
for 15minutes. After 15minutes, an alarm will sound and the ‘bottlechill’ light will flash to
remind you to remove your beverage.
Fast freeze
Boosts the freezing speed by dropping the freezer to its coldest temperature for a set time.
This function can only be activated when the product is in Freezer mode. The duration is
12 hours.
Deep freeze
Activating deep freeze sets the freezer temperature to -13°F (-25°C). Deep Freeze is for
frozen food items that may need to be stored for longer periods, extending the shelf life of
general frozen items by up to 6 months longer than that of Freezer mode. This function can
only be activated when the product is in Freezer mode.
Note: ‘deep freeze’ feature has no additional temperature adjustment. While ‘deepfreeze’ is
active no lights will be displayed on the temperature adjustment area.
Wine mode
This mode offers the ideal environment for both short and long-term wine storage for red
or white wines. Temperature control is critical for the maturation of wines and winemode
ensures temperature fluctuations are low allowing wines to develop to their full potential.
With manual/independent adjustability choose a storage temperature from 45–59°F
(7–15°C) to suit your personal needs. Some wines are best consumed at a young age,
while others have remarkable ageing capabilities. Do check with your wine merchant for
more information.

ACTIVESMART™ SPECIAL FEATURES
Fruit and vegetable storage
● The top and bottom bins on the left-hand side of the drawer are fitted with a
HumidityControl Lid that creates a humid microclimate to ensure optimum fruit and
vegetable storage.
● The Humidity Control Lid functions to prevent condensation from dripping onto the fruit
and vegetables below by retaining the moisture into the specially designed grooves.
Select the appropriate humidity control button depending on what is stored in the bins. The
humidity controls are located on the left-hand side of the CoolDrawer™.
To adjust the humidity setting:
The picture on the top of the humidity control button will show the current setting.
Tochange the setting, simply push the adjustment button.
Suitable for salad greens such as: Suitable for fruit with skin/peel such as:
Lettuce
Spinach
Broccoli
Cabbage
Carrots
Oranges
Lemons
Limes
Apples
Pears
Kiwifruit
Store fruits and vegetables in separate bins if possible and without external packaging.
Separating these will prevent ethylene-sensitive produce from ripening too quickly and help
extend their storage life.
If there is too much water in the bins (due to high humidity) the control can be adjusted to
the setting. Wipe dry if required remembering that a small amount of condensation in
the bins is beneficial for optimum storage.

15
USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Before placing food in the drawer
● Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to
remove manufacturing and transportation dust.
● Ideally, allow the drawer to run empty overnight, or for at least 5hours, to allow it to
cool to the appropriate temperature before placing food inside.
● The appliance may have an odor initially, but this will go when the compartment has
cooled sufficiently.
Energy efficiency
For the most energy efficient use of your appliance:
● Ensure your CoolDrawer™ has adequate ventilation as recommended in the
installationinstructions.
● Allow good clearances in front of air ducts within the CoolDrawer™.
● Cool hot foods down before placing them in the CoolDrawer™.
● Do not overfill the CoolDrawer™.
● Keep door openings to a minimum.
● Select a temperature setting that isn’t too cold.
If your appliance 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.
The temperature of the drawer is accurately controlled and does not change with the
temperature or humidity of the surroundings; whether summer or winter.
For best storage of general household food items, we recommend to use the appliance
at its factory default temperature and configuration settings. Adjusting temperature and
moving the shelves and bins will have minimal impact on efficiency.

CLEANING CARE
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, bleach, concentrated detergents,
solvents or abrasive scouring pads on any part of your appliance. Some of these chemicals
may damage your appliance.
Clean all surfaces with a mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean, lint free cloth.
Interior
● It is important to keep the interior of the drawer clean to help prevent food from
becoming contaminated during storage. The amount and types of food stored
determines how often cleaning should be carried out (ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks).
● For ease of cleaning, remove the storage bins from the drawer.
● The main storage tray can also be removed for cleaning. To remove the tray, slide the
clips located on the back sides of the tray, into the center of the tray. Ensure the clips
are pushed back to the sides once the tray is placed back into the drawer.
● Wipe the control panel with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth.
● To help remove any ‘old stale refrigerator’ smells add a few drops of vanilla essence or
vinegar to the water before cleaning.
Slide the clips to the
middle, to unlock the tray
Removal of storage tray

Exterior
Door gasket
● We recommend cleaning the magnetic door gasket every three months with an old
toothbrush, and liquid dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water.
● Gasket must be kept clean and pliable to ensure a proper seal.
Air inlet duct
● To maximize operating efficiency keep ventilation
openings clear of obstructions by regularly
vacuuming the flooring in front of your appliance.
● We recommend cleaning the air inlet duct at least
once every 6months with a vacuum cleaner. This
is located on the bottom, left hand side of the
appliance (accessed from the toe kick area).
● More frequent cleaning may be necessary for
dusty homes or those with pets shedding hair.
Holiday/Vacation time
We recommend you leave your appliance operating
while you are on holiday. Remove allperishable food
from the drawer.
