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:
–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 Centre will be able to give advice on
environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator.
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 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 Appliances

Important Safety Information
Storing Food and Drinks
■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 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. 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 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 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 should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat generating
appliance such as a cooktop, oven or dishwasher.
3. Stability
■It is important that all four corners of the refrigerator 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 into its position, ensure that the adjustable front feet are fully
retracted by turning them anticlockwise, ie. towards the left of the cabinet.
■Position your refrigerator. 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
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 odour 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 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
■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 500 ml of water). Rinse with clean water.
Holiday Time
■We recommend you leave your refrigerator operating while you are on holiday.

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.

■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 Food 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.
