zDo not plug in any other appliance at the same power point as your refrigerator or use
extension cords or double adapters.
zRepair 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.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS

6
zIf the power supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by your Fisher & Paykel
trained and supported service technician because special purpose tools are required.
zWhen moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage
the power cord.
zWARNING: Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of
the appliance, unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
zWhen positioning the appliance, ensure the power cord is not trapped or damaged.
zDo not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear
of the appliance.
Food safety
zRegularly clean accessible draining systems and surfaces that come in
contact with food.
zEnsure any raw meat or fish is stored in sealed containers to prevent
cross-contamination.
zImmediately clean any drips or spills on surfaces.
zIf the appliance will be left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and
leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
zOpening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature
in the compartments of the appliance.
Storing food and drinks/wine
zDo not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant
inthis appliance.
zNever store volatile or flammable materials in your appliance as they may explode.
zNever freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during freezing, which may
cause the container to explode.
zNever freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.
Servicing
zYour 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 trained and supported service technician as soon as possible. All
electrical repairs must be carried out by an adequately trained service technician or
qualified electrician.

melting— remove all perishable food and store in another appliance or cooler to prevent
spoilage. Immediately call for a service technician.
Cleaning
zUse mild dish-washing liquid with warm water and a lint-free cloth to clean the product.
zAvoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on either the interior or exterior
of the cabinet as they may cause rusting of metal components and cracking of
plasticcomponents.
Disposal
zExtreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards:
zThe flammable refrigerant gas must be safely removed by a qualified servicetechnician.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS

7
zThe thermal insulation foam in this appliance may contain flammable insulationblowing
gases, any exposed foam may be highly flammable andmustbe carefully treated
during disposal.
zWARNING: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or
freezer, the doors and panels should be removed and the racks left in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
zConsult your local energy authority or local codes as to the best way to dispose
ofyour old appliance.
Water connection
zThe water connection to your Ice & water refrigerator must be installed by an
authorised plumber or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
zInstallation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes. Check
with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow their
guidelines as you install the water filtration system.
zIf the water tank has not been used for an extended period of time, or has developed
an unpleasant taste or odour, flush the water system. If the problem persists, replace
the water filter cartridge and refer to the flushing instructions detailed in section
‘Flushing through the water dispenser.
zTo avoid serious illness or death, only connect your water filter to safe drinking water.
zThe water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the replacement indicator icon
illuminates. This will happen every six months.
zIf the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.
Failure to replace the disposable filter at recommended intervals may lead to reduced
filter performance and failure of the filter, causing property damage from water
leakage or flooding.
zIn cases of excessively reduced filter life — we recommend that you consult a local
plumber or your water supplier for advice on suitable filtration requirements for the
water supplied to your home.
zFilter replacement is the consumer’s responsibility and will not be covered by the
warranty except in the case of faulty parts or materials within the filter cartridge.
zIf the water has not created ice for some time or ice has an unpleasant taste or odour
dispose of ice and refer to ‘Automatic ice’ for flushing instructions. If unpleasant taste
or odour persists, you may wish to fit a new filter cartridge.
zUse new tubing supplied with the refrigerator. DO NOT reuse old tubing from old water
and ice connections.
zYour water filtration system can withstand up to 827kPa of water pressure.
zEnsure the supplied pressure limiting valve is installed before installing the water
filtration system. DO NOT install if water pressure exceeds 827kPa.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding:
zDO NOT install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 38°C or
drop below 0°C.
zDO NOT install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of
this filter system is 38°C.
zDO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions
exist, you must install a water hammer arrester.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
zDO NOT allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the
installation of the water filter.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS

8
Ice making
zAvoid contact with the moving parts of the ice maker ejector mechanism, and do
not place your fingers on the automatic ice- making mechanism while the appliance
is inoperation.
zAt first use or after water filter has been replaced, there may be discolouration in the
first bin of ice cubes. Discard the discoloured ice cubes. If discolouration continues in
succeeding bins, contact your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.
Power failure
zIn the event of a power interruption, the appliance will automatically save the current
temperature settings. When power is recovered, the appliance will revert to the current
temperature settings only.
zMost power failures are corrected within a short period of time. 1 – 2 hours loss of
power will not affect the appliance’s temperatures.
zTo avoid sudden change of temperature while the power is off, you should avoid
opening the door. A refrigerator will keep food safe for up to 4 hours during a power
outage. Keep the door closed as much as possible. Discard refrigerated perishable food
such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and leftovers after 4 hours without power.

Information about your ice maker
Your automatic ice maker will produce approximately eight cubes of ice every 3 – 4hours,
depending on the freezer compartment temperature and the number of door openings.
The ice cube tray will fill with water. When cubes are frozen, they will be ejected from the
ice tray into the ice storage bin. Ice making will continue until the storage bin is full. Ice
making will resume once you start to use the stored ice.
Your Ice & Water product comes with a smaller ice bin inside the larger freezer bin.
Attached to the ice storage bin is the scoop for the ice. This scoop provides hygienic access
to the ice. If a large amount of ice is required, remove an ice storage bin and allow ice to fall
into the larger bin. For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with the ice scoop.
If ice is not used often, old cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, will shrink and may
stick together. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash in lukewarm water. Dry
thoroughly and place back into the correct position.
Turn your ice maker off if:
zThere is no water supply for several hours.
zYou are removing the ice storage bin for a period of time.
zYou are going on holiday/vacation.
