Safety and warnings
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.
Electrical

This appliance must be installed in accordance with the installation
instructions before use.

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 Authorised Repairer because special purpose
tools are required.

When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to
roll over or damage the power cord.

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage
compartments of the appliance.
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 Fisher & Paykel
Authorised Repairer as soon as possible. All electrical repairs must
be carried out by an adequately trained service technician or
qualified electrician.

6Safety and warnings
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.

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. 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 and warmer than 5°C (41°F) – discard all food.

Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The
food may be dangerous to eat.

Installation instructions
Please follow the installation steps below 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 is 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. Ice & Water (Ice & Water models only)

Your Ice & Water refrigerator must be installed by an authorised plumber or Fisher & Paykel
Authorised Repairer 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.
