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 and Automatic Ice models
 Your Ice & Water and Automatic Ice refrigerator must be installed by an authorized
plumber or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician 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 trained and supported service technician.
 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
water and ice connections should not be used.
 1/4” copper tubing can be connected to the appliance. An adapter that connects the
copper water line from 1/4” compression fitting to a suitable quick connect fitting
is required for proper installation of the water line to the installation components
supplied. Failure to use a suitable adapter will result in leaks and/or property damage.
 Replacement parts are available through Customer Care or online at
www.fisherpaykel.com (this service is available to selected markets only).
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 119psi (827kPa) or below 22psi (150kPa).
 DO NOT use on hot water supply 100°F (38°C) max.
 DO NOT cut any length of tube shorter than 8” (200mm).
 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

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” (200mm) 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 1/4” (6mm) 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” (250mm)).
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
4qt(4L) 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1/2” (64mm) 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 1/4” (6mm) 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
5/8” (16mm) 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,

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
1/2”(10mm) higher than the back. This will ensure a
good door closing action.
(Non French door models only)
DAligning your refrigerator with cabinetry.
 Align the sides of the refrigerator with the

9. What to do if your product is unstable
AGently push the refrigerator back until the rear
rollers contact the floor.
 Measure the gap under the front foot, which has
come off the floor.
 Obtain some solid packing material (hardwood,
plastic,etc) which fits firmly into the gap under
the foot.
Note: do not use metallic materials that may
corrode, stain and/or damage floor coverings.
BWind both front feet up and roll the product out
ofposition.
 Place the packing material in the location
diagonally opposite the front roller that lifts off
the floor.
 Make sure the packing material stays in place
when the product is pushed back into position.
 Ideally, the packing material is large enough to
rest against the back wall so as to prevent it
from moving when the cabinet is pushed into
position.
