2Introduction

Thank you for buying a Fisher & Paykel side by side refrigerator with chilled water and

ice dispensing through the door.

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.

Select refrigerator models have a number of customizable 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 Vacation Mode that will help you save

energy, 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!

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 familiarize

themselves with the information and warnings contained within the Guide.

Safety and warnings

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 or freezer:

–

Take off the doors

–

Leave the shelves in place so that children can not easily climb inside.

The plastic packaging 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 Authorized Service Center will be able to give advice on

environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.

Electrical

This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before

it is used.

Never unplug your refrigerator or freezer 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 as your refrigerator is

using. Do not use extension cords or double adapters with these products.

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

Authorized Service Center because special purpose tools are required.

When moving your appliance away from 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 or freezer 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 41˚F (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 or freezer 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 55° F (13° C) or rises above 110° F (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 ½” (13 mm) space at the top and ½” (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 leveling procedure under Leveling, 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 to

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.
