Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel side by side refrigerator.
This refrigerator combines size and storage space with the latest features and functions. Many
hours have been spent researching how you, our customer, use your refrigerator and what we
can do to make life easier for you.
All refrigerator models have an internal ice maker and select models have ice dispensing, along
with chilled water dispensing through the door.
Select refrigerator models have a number of customisable storage zones, such as a
Beverage Chiller with adjustable temperature settings and a fruit and vegetable bin with
adjustable humidity.
Select models also have some special modes, such as Max Cool that boosts the cooling and
freezing power of your refrigerator, and Speed Ice that will increase ice production.
As your life changes, so can your refrigerator. This book explains the features and functions,
and will help you get the most out of your refrigerator.
We hope you enjoy your new refrigerator!

Introduction
Important!
It is important that this User Guide should be retained with your Ice & Water refrigerator for
future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, please ensure
that the User Guide is left with the appliance. This will ensure that the new owner can familiarise
themselves with the information and warnings contained within the Guide.

WARNING!
Electric Shock Hazard
Read and follow the SAFETY AND WARNINGS outlined in this User Guide
before operating this appliance.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock, fire or injury to persons.
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide.
Important safety precautions
Warning
When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including the following:
Danger
This appliance is not intended for use by children or infirmed persons without supervision. This is
especially important when using the freezer compartment. Young children should be supervised
to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
– Take off the doors
– Leave the shelves in place so that children can not easily climb inside.
The plastic packaging, off your new refrigerator, may be a choking or suffocation hazard to
children. Ensure all plastic is disposed of properly.
Disposal
Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards. The
refrigerant gas must be safely removed and for the safety of young children, remove doors.
Your Fisher & Paykel Appliances Authorised Service Centre will be able to give advice on
environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator.
Electrical
This new appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions
before it is used.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet socket.
Do not plug in any other appliance at the same power point outlet socket your refrigerator is
using. Do not use extension cords or double adapters with these products.
Safety and warnings

4Safety and warnings
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 be replaced by your Fisher & Paykel Appliances
Authorised Service Centre because special purpose tools are required.
When moving your appliance back against the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
power cord.
Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning it or replacing the interior light bulb.
Storing food and drinks
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.
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. Follow the recommendations below if
you discover food in your freezer has thawed:
1) Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter period than
recommended.
2) 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
and refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp and soggy.
3) Thawed and warmer than 5˚C – discard all foods.
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
Important!
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 Care and cleaning
section of this booklet for further advice.

Installation instructions
WARNING!
Electric Shock Hazard
Read and follow the SAFETY AND WARNINGS outlined in this User Guide
before operating this appliance, pages 3 – 4.
Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock, fire or injury to persons.
Location
Do not install refrigerator near an oven, radiator or other heat source. If not possible, shield
refrigerator with cabinet material.
Do not install where temperature falls below 13˚C or rises above 43˚C. Malfunction may occur at
these temperatures.
The refrigerator is designed for indoor household application only.
Measuring the opening
When installing your refrigerator, allow 13 mm space at the top and 13 mm space behind
machine compartment cover (located in the rear) for proper air circulation. If the refrigerator is
placed with the door hinges against a wall, you may want to allow additional space so the door
can be opened wider.
Subflooring or floor coverings (ie carpet, tile, wood floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller
than anticipated.
Some clearance may be gained by using the levelling procedure under ‘Levelling’, page 8.
Important!
If refrigerator is to be installed into a recess where the top of the refrigerator is completely
covered, use dimensions from floor to top of hinge cap to verify proper clearance.
Transporting your refrigerator
NEVER transport refrigerator on its side. If an upright position is not possible, lay refrigerator
on its back. Allow refrigerator to sit upright for approximately 30 minutes before plugging it in.
This will ensure oil returns to the compressor. Plugging refrigerator in immediately may cause
damage to internal parts.
Use an appliance dolly/trolley when moving refrigerator. ALWAYS truck refrigerator from its side
or back – NEVER from its front.
Protect the outside finish of the refrigerator during transport by wrapping the cabinet in
blankets or inserting padding between the refrigerator and dolly.
Secure refrigerator to dolly firmly with straps or bungee cords. Thread straps through handles
where and when possible. Do not over-tighten. Over-tightening restraints may dent or damage
the outside finish.

Electric Shock Hazard
