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.

technician to service thisappliance.
Food safety
zRegularly clean surfaces that come into contact with food.
zEnsure any raw meat or fish is stored in sealed containers to prevent cross-
contamination.
zTo avoid contamination of food; Do not open the door for long periods as it can cause
a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
Disposal
zExtreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards:
zThe flammable refrigerant gas must be safely removed.
zThe thermal insulation foam in this appliance contains flammable insulation blowing
gases, any exposed foam may be highly flammable and must be carefully treated
during disposal.
zThe doors and panels should be removed and the shelves left in place so that
children may not easily climb inside.
zYour Fisher&Paykel trained and supported service technician will be able to give

Storing food and drinks
zDo not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in
this appliance.
zNever store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator 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.
zDo 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.
Power failure — food safety
zDo 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:
zIce crystals still visible — food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter
period than recommended.
zThawed 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.
zThawed and warmer than 5°C — discard all food.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS — GENERAL
Please follow the steps for installation to ensure your appliance operates correctly.
Location
Your refrigerator should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat generating
appliance such as a cooktop, oven or dishwasher.
This refrigerating appliance is intended to be used at ambient temperatures ranging
from 16 °C to 43 °C. The product performance may be compromised when operating
outside of this temperature range.
Power
●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 inside the
refrigerator compartment.
●It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed).
Energy saving tips
There are many simple things that can be done to save energy.
During installation
●Locate refrigerator to the coolest part of the room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or
near heating ducts, registers, or other heat producing appliances.
●Ensure your refrigerator has adequate ventilation as shown in the installation
instructions.
During use
●Avoid overcrowding shelves, as this reduces airflow.
●Do not use anything (such as aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towelling) as a shelf
liner, as this reduces airflow.
●Avoid loading too much warm food in at once and allow good clearances in front of the
air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.
●Your refrigerator is most efficient when it is two thirds full.
●Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary and organise items in the
refrigerator to reduce the time that the door is open.
●For storage of general household foods in the most efficient manner, it is recommended
to use the product in the factory configuration supplied. Moving the shelves and bins
will have a minimal impact on efficiency.
Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments
●Remove all packaging found inside the compartments eg tape, polystyrene etc.
●Clean the inside of the appliance with a mixture of warm water and a little liquid
detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.
●The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the
refrigerator has cooled sufficiently.
●Allow the refrigerator to run empty for 2–3 hours to allow each compartment to cool
to the appropriate temperature.
