• Do not plug in any other appliance at the same
power point as your refrigerator or use extension
cords or double adapters.

7
SAFETY AND WARNINGS

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 trained

• If you suspect that the product is not getting
cold—items such as ice cream are melting—remove
all perishable food and store in another appliance
or cooler to prevent spoilage. Immediately call for a
service technician.

8
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Cleaning
• Use only soap-based cleaning products.
• Many commercially available cleaning products
contain solvents that may degrade the plastic
components of your refrigerator and cause
them tocrack.
• Avoid 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.
• Regularly clean accessible draining systems and
surfaces that come in contact with food.
• If 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.
• Please refer to the ‘Cleaning care’ section of
this user guide for further information.
Disposal
• Extreme care must be taken when disposing
of your old appliance to avoid hazards:
– The flammable refrigerant gas must be
safely removed by a qualified service technician.
– The thermal insulation foam in this appliance
contains flammable insulation which can
emit gases. Anyexposed foam may be highly
flammable andmust be carefully treated
during disposal.
– DANGER: The doors and panels should be
removed andtheshelves left in place so that
children maynot easily climb inside.

9
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
– DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you
throw away your old refrigerator or freezer, the
doors and panels should be removed and the
shelves left in place so that children may not
easily climb inside.
• Consult your local energy authority or local codes as
to the best way to dispose of your old appliance.
• Your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported
service technician will be able to give advice on
environmentally-friendly methods of disposing of
your old refrigerator or freezer.
Storing food and drinks
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the
refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip
onto other food.
• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol
cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• Never store volatile or flammable materials in your
appliance as they may explode.
• Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid
expands when it freezes and can cause the container
to explode.
• Never freeze carbonated drinks to prevent the
container from exploding.
• 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.

10
Water filter
IMPORTANT!
• The water connection to your Ice & water refrigerator
must be installed by an authorised plumber or
Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service
technician and comply with all state and local laws.
• Installation 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.
• Connect to a safe drinking water supply only.
• Use new tubing supplied with the appliance. DO NOT
reuse old tubing from old water and ice connections.
• Clean the water tanks if they have not been used for
48 hours. Flush the water system connected to the
water supply if water has not been used for 5 days.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
• DO NOT allow children under 3 years of age to have
access to small parts during the installation of the
water filter.
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.
SAFETY AND WARNINGS

11
• Thawed but refrigerator cold—refreezing generally
not recommended. Fruit and some cooked food
can be refrozen, but make sure it is use as soon
aspossible.
• Meat, fish, poultry—use immediately or cook
then refreeze.
• Vegetables—discard as they usually become limp
andsoggy.
• Thawed and warmer than 5°C—discard all food.

IMPORTANT!
• Avoid 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.
• Do not use ice cubes that may have become

ACTIVESMART™ SPECIAL FEATURES
Humidity control system
Humidity control lids
The control lids are fitted to the fruit and vegetable bins and slim bin of your refrigerator.
 These lids seal the bins and provide a humid microclimate to extend the storage
timesof fruit and vegetables.
 The lids have specially designed grooves that retain moisture to prevent condensation
from dripping onto the fruits and vegetables at times of high humidity.
Humidity slide
Each bin has an adjustable humidity slide that enables you to choose a fruit or
vegetable setting depending on your storage needs.
 If there is too much water in the bins (due to high humidity), the control can be
adjustedtowards the fruit setting to reduce drips of water and/or wipe the
waterdry (if required).
 Be aware that a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and
vegetablestorage.
 Use the vegetable setting when you store ethylene-sensitive vegetables such
aslettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, carrots.
 Use the fruit setting when you store high-ethylene fruits such ascitrus fruits,
stonefruits and some tropical fruits.
 We recommend adjusting the humidity slide to the center when you store both
fruitsandvegetables.
 We recommend storing all fruit and vegetables without external packaging and
inseparate bins.
– Separating the fruit and vegetables prevent ethylene-sensitive produce
fromripening too quickly, and help extend their storage life.
