they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure
they do not play with the appliance.
• The manufacturer’s installation instructions
for product and cabinetry ventilation must be
followed when installing the appliance.

5
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• To avoid hazard due to instability of the
appliance,it must be fixed in accordance with
installation instructions.
• Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance
enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
obstruction.
• Do not use mechanical devices or other means to
accelerate the defrosting process.
• Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
• In case of damage to the refrigerant circuit,
ventilate the area by opening all windows. Do
not operate electrical equipment or any other
equipment that may produce arcs, sparks or flames
in the area. Contact your Fisher & Paykel Authorized
Repairer immediately to arrange for the appliance
to be repaired.
• It is hazardous for anyone other than an authorized
service person to service this appliance. In
Queensland, the authorized service person must
hold a gas work license or authorization for
hydrocarbon refrigerants to carry our service or
repairs which involve removal of covers.
• Connect to potable water supply only.

• This appliance must be installed in accordance with
the installation instructions beforeuse.
• To allow disconnection of the appliance from
thesupply after installation, incorporate a switch in
the fixed wiring in accordance with thewiringrules.
•Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the
power cord. Always grip the plug firmly and pull
straight out from the outlet.

6
SAFETY AND WARNINGS
• Do not plug in any other appliance at the same
power point as your refrigerator or use extension
cords or double adapters.
• Repair 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.
• If the power supply cord is damaged, it must only

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.

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.
 We recommend using the vegetable setting when you store ethylene-sensitive
vegetables such as lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, carrots.
 We recommend using 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 fruits and vegetables without external packaging and in
separate bins.
– Separating the fruits and vegetables prevent ethylene-sensitive produce from
ripening too quickly, and help extend their storage life.
