DANGER!
■This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision. 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 beer dispenser:
1. Take off the doors.
2. Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
ELECTRICAL
■This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instruction 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.
■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.
■Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning, or replacing the 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.
■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, e.g. frozen ice cubes.
POWER FAIL RE – FOOD SAFETY
■Do not refreeze foods that have thawed completely. Follow the recommendations below if you discover food
that 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, oultry – use immediately or cook, then refreeze.
Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp and soggy.
3. Thawed but warmer than 4ºC/40ºF– red meat can be cooked immediately and refrozen but use as soon as
possible. Discard all other frozen foods.
■Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
CLEANING
■Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack plastic components of your
refrigerator beer dispenser and cause them to crack. Please refer to the Care and Maintenance section of this
booklet for further advice (see pages 15-16).
DISPOSAL
■Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards. The refrigerant gas must be
safely removed.
