Safety and warnings
Storing food and drinks
Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator or freezer 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 38˚F (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 or freezer and cause them to crack. Please refer to the cleaning
care section of this booklet for further advice.

Important!
It is imperative the pressure reducing valve (PRV) is fitted prior to the filter. This valve ensures
the water will not flow back into the mains from the refrigerator water system. If the PRV is not
fitted to the connection line your Ice & Water refrigerator features may not function in some
circumstances.
It is recommended that an authorised plumber in your state or town is used to install the water
connection.
The new tubings supplied with the machine are to be used, old tubings should not be used.
Installation precautions/warning
DO NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection before or after the system.
WARNING – connect to potable water supply only.
DO NOT install on line pressure above 900 kPa (130 psi) or below 150 kPa (22 psi).
DO NOT use on hot water supply (100°F [38°C max.]).
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 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 fridge.
AVOID contamination of pipes during installation.

Installation instructions
Installation instructions:
1
Ensure that refrigerator is not plugged into a power supply.
2
Remove compartment cover from the rear if present.
3
Locate isolation faucet for water connection – cold water
feed only (dishwasher or sink mixer faucets) – if you can’t
find the connection faucet, contact an authorised plumber
in your state or town to fit your water connection.
4
Connect the 8” (200 mm) blue 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.
5
Connect the white ¼” (6 mm) tubing to the outlet of the
water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 2. Gently pull to
ensure it is locked.
6
Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV
to the water connection point.
7
Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square and clean.
8
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. If your
faucet requires a different fitting, please contact an
authorised plumber in your state or town to purchase
the correct fitting.
9
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.
10
To flush the water filter and check for leaks, aim the
end of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating faucet
on and run at least 3 qt (3 liters) of water through. Once
complete, turn isolating faucet off.
11
Locate desired position for water filter noting carefully the
following points:
It is recommended to fit the filter in a vertical
orientation with the water filter head at the top. This will
minimize 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
the cupboard beside the refrigerator.
A minimum clearance of 2 ½” (64 mm) from the
bottom of the filter cartridge is required to perform
cartridge removal.
Do not screw filter to fridge.

Installation instructions
Important!
All connections must be checked for leaks.
If unsure of connection process and/or leaks then contact your local plumber to install and check
the system for you.
Ensure white ¼” (6 mm) tubing is routed away from sharp objects, sharp corners (beware of
kinking tube as this will stop water flow), clear of the refrigerator unit compartment and not in a
location where it can be squashed.
Ensure all push-fit connections are firmly pushed into place. The tube should push in ¾” (20 mm)
before reaching the stop.
If tubing is removed at any point, re-cut the end and re-insert. Tubing must be fully inserted to
avoid leaks.
To remove tube from connection points, turn off the isolating faucet, push in the collet and
gently pull tubing at the same time.

10 Using your water dispenser
Dispensing pad
Your water dispenser has been designed for one handed operation. Simply push your glass
up against the dispenser pad found at the back of the dispenser area. This pad requires only a
gentle press to activate.
Please remember that pressing very hard against the dispensing pad will not make the dispenser
operate faster or produce greater quantities of water.
First use
After installation, on the first use, allow approximately a one minute delay from when the
dispensing pad is pushed until water is dispensed. This will allow the tank to fill completely.
The symbol will flash while the water reservoir fills up. Once the reservoir is full, the symbol
will stop flashing.
After you fill the tank for the first time, dispense and discard approximately 3 qt or 3 L to flush
the tank out.
Dispensing
Unless Measured Fill is selected, water will be dispensed in
free-flow mode. (For more information on Measured Fill refer
to page 13).
To dispense water push the dispensing pad gently, using a
glass or container.
When you dispense water, a light will appear above the
dispensing area, and on the display screen. The water fill
icon will also appear.
To stop the flow of water, simply pull your glass away from
the dispensing pad.
Important!
To avoid damage to property or personal injury do not put hands, fingers or objects up the
dispenser opening.

Using your ice maker
Ice maker
Your ice maker is designed to automatically dispense ice until
it senses that the bin is fill. So the more ice you use, the more it
makes. It is even clever enough to sense when there is nothing
there to catch the ice.
First use
When you first turn your refrigerator on, the ice maker will be off.
To turn your ice maker on use the button to scroll to the
screen.
Use the
or button to turn the ice maker on or off.
Shows the ice maker is on.
Shows the ice maker is off.
If the bin is full, or inserted incorrectly the ice maker will not
operate. When the bin is inserted correctly the scoop will be on
the right hand side of the bin (refer to Fig.12 on page 12). If the bin
is removed the ice maker will not operate.
Once your ice maker is in operation, discard the first bin of ice
cubes. This will flush away any impurities in the water line and
ensure that you get the best quality ice. We recommend that you
also do this after vacations or extended periods of not using ice.
We recommend that you turn the ice maker off if:
– The water supply is to be off for several hours or
– The ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time or
– You are going on holiday/vacation.
Noises
If this is your first ice maker, you will hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar. They are
normal ice making sounds and are not cause for concern.
The following sounds are normal with the operation of an ice maker:
– Motor operation (low humming).
– Running water.
– Water valve opening and closing (hissing sound).
– Ice being loosened from tray (cracking).
– Ice dropping into bin (clunking).
Fig.11 Turning ice maker on
EN

12 Using your ice maker
Information about your ice maker
The ice cube tray will fill with water after the freezer has reached the correct temperature. First
cubes will normally freeze after several hours.
When cubes are frozen, they will be ejected from the mould into the ice storage bin.
Ice making will continue until the storage bin is full.
Ice making will resume when the ice is used.
For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with the ice scoop.
Your Ice & Water product comes with a smaller ice bin inside the larger freezer bin. Attached to
this is a scoop for the ice.
If a large amount of ice is required, remove the smaller storage bin and allow ice to fall into the
larger bin.
If ice is not used often, old cubes will become cloudy and taste stale and will shrink. Empty the
ice storage bin periodically and wash in lukewarm water. Dry thoroughly and place back.
Fig.12 Ice storage bin and scoop
in correct position
Important!
Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ejector mechanism, and do not place your fingers on
the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is plugged in.
Do not use ice cubes that may have become discolored, usually with a green-blue color. If such
dis-coloration is noted, discard the ice cubes and contact your local authorized service center.
Ensure the ice maker is connected to the filter and to a drinkable water supply only.
Installation of the water connection to the ice maker must be completed by a qualified service
technician (see installation instructions).

Freezer Chill
We know that the faster food is frozen, the better the overall quality of the food, so we have
created the Freezer Chill feature.
The Freezer Chill feature drops the freezer to it’s coldest temperature for a 12 hour period and
then returns to its normal mode. You may wish to use this when freezing a quantity of meat or
when you are making frozen desserts.
To activate, use the button to scroll to the screen. Then use the button until
is displayed.
To deactivate manually, use the button to scroll to the screen. Then use the
and buttons until there is no icon in the screen.
For best results, we recommend that you activate the function approximately 2 hours before it is
required. Alternatively, activate it when placing food into the freezer.
Bottle Chill
This function allows you to chill your beverages in the freezer without the worry of forgetting
about them.
When activated Bottle Chill will remind you to remove your bottle by sounding an alarm. The
user alarm will continue to sound until any key on the panel is pressed.
The time taken to chill depends on the size of your bottle. Bottle Chill allows you to customise
this chill time.
Recommended times:
20 minutes – can or small bottle.
25 minutes – wine bottle or similar size beverage.
30 minutes – larger bottle.
If you remove your beverage from the freezer and it is not chilled to your liking, reset the timer
to 10 minutes and place the beverage back into the freezer.
To activate, use the button to scroll to the screen. Then use the button until
is displayed.
Then use the button to select 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 minutes as displayed on the left hand side of
the screen in the screen.
An alarm will sound after the amount of time selected has elapsed.

All the water to your fridge is filtered to remove impurities through a cartridge located in a
position of your choice outside the refrigerator. Of course, this will need changing approximately
every 6 months or up to 740 gallons (2800 L) depending on the quality of the incoming water
and how much you use the dispenser.
There is a replacement indicator icon on the control panel which will appear when the filter
needs replacing. It will flash, when dispensing water, as a reminder.
Replacement cartridges are available from your authorised Fisher & Paykel Dealer. The details of
the replacement cartridge are on the label on the cartridge.
