in the area. Contact your Fisher & Paykel Authorized
Repairer immediately to arrange for the appliance

IMPORTANT!
Your refrigerator is designed to operate for

However, if your refrigerator is malfunctioning,
have it attended to by your Fisher & Paykel
Authorized Repairer as soon as possible.
All electrical repairs must be carried out by
an adequately trained service technician or
qualifiedelectrician.
Cleaning
•Many commercially available cleaning products
contain solvents that may attack the plastic
components of your refrigerator and cause them
tocrack.

7
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• 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.
• 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.
– The 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.
– The doors and panels should be removed and
the shelves left in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
• Your Fisher & Paykel Authorized Repairer will be
able to give advice on environmentally friendly
methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or
freezer.
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.

8
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• 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.
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 5°C – discard all food.
