damage the power cord.
 Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the
appliance.
ImpORTANT!
Your 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 Authorised 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 which may attack
plastic components of your refrigerator and cause them to crack. Please refer to the
cleaning care section of this booklet for further advice.
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 contained in this appliance is produced by
flammable insulation blowing gases, any exposed foam may be highly flammable
and must be carefully treated during disposal.
– The doors should be removed and the shelves left in place so that children may
not easily climb inside.
 Your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer will be able to give advice on
environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.

cause the container to explode.
 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.

MOVING AND STORING YOUR APPLIANCE
If your refrigerator is turned off for any reason, wait 10minutes before turning it back
on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.
Moving your appliance
 Turn off the appliance and unplug from the power point. Remove all food.
 Ease the appliance out of its position. Tuck the power cord away, if applicable tape the
shelves in place and tape the doors closed. If the cabinet needs to be placed at an angle
or laid down, carefully lay it on its side (the right-hand side when viewed from the front).
 Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time,
leave it standing upright as long as possible (at least a few hours) before turning it on.
Storing your appliance
 When storing your cleaned appliance, leave the door(s) open. This allows air to circulate
and prevents the build up of bacteria and moulds.
 Before using again, clean well using a mixture of warm water and baking soda (add 1tsp
of baking soda to each 500ml of water). Rinse with clean water.
Holiday time
We recommend you leave your refrigerator operating while you are on holiday.
 Turn the ice maker off on the control panel.
 Shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
 On your return, turn on the water supply to the refrigerator.
 Dispense 3L of water and discard to ensure the water tank is refilled with fresh water.
 Turn on the ice maker.
 Discard the first 3harvests of ice.
