SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Cleaning
Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack
plastic components of your refrigerator and cause them to crack. For further advice
please refer to section ‘Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator’.
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
Authorized Service Agent 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.
 Do not remove the rear compartment cover. This can only be removed by Fisher &
Paykel Authorized Service Agents.
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 Authorized Service Agent as soon as possible. All electrical
repairs must be carried out by an adequately trained service technician or qualified
electrician.
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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
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 41°F (5°C) – discard all food.

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 authorized plumber or Fisher &
Paykel Authorized Service Agent 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.

IMPORTANT!
 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
authorized plumber or Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent.
 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
Ice & Water connections 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 119 psi (827 kPa) or below 22 psi (150 kPa).
 DO NOT use on hot water supply (100°F [38°C max.]).
 DO NOT cut any length of tube shorter than 8” (200 mm).
 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

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation instructions:
1Ensure the refrigerator is NOT plugged into a
powersupply.
2Locate a cold water supply/feed only suitable
for a water connection. Tee and tap fitting is
not supplied.
3Connect 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.
4Connect 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.
5Measure the required length of tubing to run
from the PRV to the water connection point (no
less than 10” (250mm)).
6Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square
and clean.
7Connect 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.
8Connect one locking key to each side of the
water filter cartridge in between the cartridge
and the locking collet as shown in Diagram4.
9To 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 10qt
(10L) of water through. Once complete, turn
isolating faucet off.
!0 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 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 a 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 water filter to refrigerator.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT!
 All connections must be checked for leaks.
 Ensure white ¼” (6mm) tubing is routed away from sharp objects, sharp corners
(beware of kinking the tube as this will stop water flow), clear of the refrigerator rear
compartment and not in a location where it can be kinked or squashed.
 Ensure all push-fit connections are firmly pushed into place. The tube should push in
⅝” (16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 first turn off the isolating faucet. Gently push
the dispensing pad a few times using a glass or container to remove the static line
pressure. Push in the collet firmly while pulling back on the tubing at the same time,
as shown in Diagram10.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
7. Installation (all models)
Your Fisher & Paykel ActiveSmart™ refrigerator
is fitted with front and rear rollers, designed
for moving the product in the forwards and
backwards direction.
Avoid moving the product in a sideways direction
as this may damage the rollers or the floor
covering/surface.
AYour refrigerator will arrive with the front feet
wound up making moving the product into its
final location a simple task.
BRoll the refrigerator into its final position making
sure there is the correct air gap between the
product and surrounding cabinetry. See minimum
clearance in cabinetry dimensions table.
CAdjust the front feet down until the refrigerator
is leaning backward with the front approximately
