Fisher & Paykel ActiveSmart E372B User manual

Installation instructions
Please follow the installation steps below to ensure your appliance operates correctly.
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 is properly grounded (earthed).
Location
• Your refrigerator should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat generating appliance such as a
cooktop, oven or dishwasher.
Ice & Water and Automatic Ice models
• Your Ice & Water and Automatic Ice refrigerator must be installed by an authorised plumber or Fisher & Paykel
trained and supported service technician as incorrect plumbing can lead to water leaks.
• Fisher & Paykel Appliances does not accept responsibility for damage (including water damage) caused by
faulty installation or plumbing.

Contents of filter kit
1. 1 x 4m long x Ø6mm (1/4”) tubing
2. 1 x 200mm (8”) short Ø6mm (1/4”) tubing
3. 1 x pressure reducing valve (PRV)
4. 1 x double sided foam
5. 2 x locking keys
6. 1 x water filter cartridge and head
7. 1 x tap connection — 15mm (1/2”) BSP
• It is imperative the pressure reducing valve (PRV) is fitted prior to the filter. If the PRV is not
fitted to the connection line, the Ice & Water features may not function in some
circumstances.
• The water connection to your Ice & Water refrigerator must be installed by an authorised
plumber or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
• The water connection instructions below are intended only for the professional installer.
• The new tubings supplied with the refrigerator are to be used, old tubings from old water and
ice connections should not be used.
• Replacement parts are available through Customer Care or online at www.fisherpaykel.com
(this service is available to selected markets only).

connect to potable water supply only.
• DO NOT install on line pressure above 119psi (827kPa) or below 22psi (150kPa).
• DO NOT use on hot water supply 38°C max.
• DO NOT cut any length of tube shorter than 200mm.
• DO NOT install near electrical wires or water pipes that will be in the path of drilling when selecting the location
of filter system.
• DO NOT mount filter in such a position so that it will be struck by other items, such as wastebaskets, etc.
• DO NOT install the filter or any water tubing in direct sunlight as prolonged exposure to light can weaken plastic
components.
• DO NOT install in a location that is susceptible to freezing temperatures as damage to the housing could occur.
• DO NOT screw filter to the refrigerator.
• DO NOT install the filter or any water tubing in high temperature areas eg in a ceiling cavity.
• AVOID contamination of pipes during installation.
• DO NOT use copper tubing. The plastic tubing supplied should always be used.
• DO NOT continuously dispense water for longer than 2 minutes.
Installation instructions:
1. Ensure the refrigerator is NOT plugged into a power supply.
2. Locate a cold water supply/feed only suitable for a water
connection. Tee and tap fitting is not supplied.
3. Connect the 200mm (8”) tubing to the outlet of the PRV (blue collet)
and the inlet connection of the water filter cartridge as shown in
Diagram 1. Gently pull on both ends to ensure it is locked.

4. Connect the 6mm (1/4”) tubing to the outlet of the water filter
cartridge as shown in Diagram 2. Gently pull to ensure it is
locked.
5. Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV to
the water connection point (no less than 250mm).
6. Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square and clean.

refrigerator
7. Connect the tubing to the faucet connection and
the base of the PRV (white collet) and then to the
faucet as shown in Diagram 3. Please note that the
faucet connection supplied should fit most
installation situations.

8. Connect one locking key to each side of the water
filter cartridge in between the cartridge and the
locking collet as shown in Diagram 4.
9. To flush the water filter of any trapped air,
harmless carbon fines and to also check for leaks,
aim the end of the tubing into a bucket, turn
isolating faucet on and run at least 4L of water
through. Once complete, turn isolating faucet off.
10. Locate desired position for water filter noting
carefully the following points:
• It is recommended to fit the water filter in a
vertical orientation with the water filter head at
the top. This will minimise water leakage when
replacing cartridge.
• Ensure the filter is in a convenient location to
access every 6 months for replacement. We
suggest that this location is beside the water
filter supply faucet in a cupboard beside the
refrigerator.
• A minimum clearance of 64mm from the bottom
of the filter cartridge is required to perform
cartridge removal.
• Do not screw water filter to refrigerator. Diagram 4 Locking key
11. Attach double sided foam to the back of the water filter head as shown in Diagram 5.
Write the date to be replaced on the filter (date installed + 6 months). Remove the double
sided foam backing and attach the filter to the desired position, reinforcing the filter with
the screws provided as located in step 10 (refer to the previous page).

foam attachment
12. Run the 6mm (1/4”) tubing to the back of the
refrigerator ensuring there is enough tubing to pull
the refrigerator out for service.
13. Using the measurement guide shown in Diagram
6, mark out 16mm, on the end of the tubing as
shown in Diagram 7.
14. Insert the tubing marked 16mm into the water
(solenoid) valve up to the marked line as shown in
Diagram 8.
15. Pull gently on tubing to ensure it is locked in as
shown in Diagram 9.
16. The completed installation should look like
Diagram 6.
17. Turn the isolating faucet on and check that all
connections are dry and free of drips.
18. Coil water line tubing behind the refrigerator. Push
your refrigerator into place being careful not to kink
or squash the water line tube running into the
water (solenoid) valve.
19. Read pages 17 – 18 carefully and then turn
refrigerator on.
