your refrigerator is malfunctioning, have it attended
to by your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician 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.

7
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• 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 and caring for your
refrigerator’ 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.
– The doors and panels should be removed and
the shelves left in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
• Your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician will be able to give advice on
environmentally friendly methods of disposing of
your old refrigerator or freezer.
Storing food and drinks
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol
cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• 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.

8
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• 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, eg frozen ice cubes.
Power failure — food safety
• Do 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:
– Ice crystals still visible — food may be refrozen
but should be stored for a shorter period than
recommended.
– 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.
– Thawed and warmer than 5°C — discard all food.
Water filter
IMPORTANT!
• The water connection to your Ice & water refrigerator
must be installed by an qualified plumber or Fisher &
Paykel trained and supported service technician and
comply with all state and local laws.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state
and local plumbing codes. Check with your local
public works department for plumbing codes. You
must follow their guidelines as you install the water
filtration system.
