When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including the
following:
Danger
 This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
 Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
 Refer to the stability bracket and leaflet supplied to avoid hazard due to instability of
the appliance.
 The manufacturer’s installation instructions for product and cabinetry ventilation must
be followed when installing the appliance.
 Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear
of obstruction.
 Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.
 Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
 In case of damage to the refrigerant circuit, ventilate the area by opening all windows.
Do not operate electrical equipment or any other equipment that may produce arcs,
sparks or flames in the area. Contact your Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent
immediately to arrange for the appliance to be repaired.
Disposal
 Extreme care must be taken when disposing your old appliance to avoid hazards:
– The refrigerant gas must be safely removed

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.
