or contact your local Fisher & Paykel dealer.

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons read the IMPORTANT SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS before operating this appliance.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide.

Important safety precautions

Warning

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, other than

those recommended by the manufacturer.

Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.

Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance, unless

they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.

When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including the following:

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 or freezer:

– Take off the doors

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

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 Authorised Service Centre will be able to give advice on environmentally

friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.

Electrical

Your new 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.

Do not plug in any other appliance at the same power point as your refrigerator or freezer or use

extension cords or double adapters.

Safety 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 Authorised

Service Centre 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 or freezer before cleaning or replacing the lightbulb.

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

then refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp and soggy.

3) Thawed but warmer than 4˚C. 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 or freezer and cause them to crack. Please refer to the cleaning

care section of this booklet for further advice.

Safety and warnings

Installation instructions

Please follow the steps for installation to ensure your appliance operates correctly.

1. Location

Your refrigerator or freezer should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat-

generating appliance such as a cooktop, oven or dishwasher.

2. Power

The appliance must be installed so the plug is accessible.

To ensure that the appliance is not accidentally switched off, connect your refrigerator or freezer

to its own power point. Do not plug in any other appliance at this power point or use extension

cords and double adaptors, as the combined weight of both power cords can pull the double

adaptor from a wall outlet socket.

For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate located at the front bottom

right-hand side of the refrigerator when the door is open.

It is essential that the appliance be properly grounded (earthed).

3. Stability

It is important that all four corners of the refrigerator or

freezer base are supported firmly on the floor to eliminate

any cabinet movement.

Installing the appliance on a soft or uneven or unlevel floor

may result in twisting of the cabinet and poor sealing of the

doors. If the doors do not seal properly, warm air will enter

the food storage areas causing the temperature to increase,

resulting in food spoilage and food loss.

Before moving your refrigerator or freezer into its position,

ensure that the adjustable front feet are fully retracted

by turning them anticlockwise, ie towards the right of

the cabinet.

Position your refrigerator or freezer. Turn the adjustable feet clockwise, ie to the left, to lower

the adjustable front feet. Raise the front of the appliance until it is stable and the doors move

towards the closed position, on their own, when open.

The front levelling foot on the hinge side should take the majority of the weight of the cabinet

and the cabinet should be stable, ie cabinet should not rock or wobble.

Raise Lower

Installation instructions

4. Ventilation and installation

To ensure adequate ventilation for your refrigerator,

allow a minimum of 20 mm of airspace on each side of

the cabinet, 75 mm at the rear, and 50 mm at the top of

the cabinet.

The appliance is intended to be placed against a wall

with a free distance not exceeding 75 mm.

5. Fitting the handles

Your refrigerator is supplied with a set of handles,

4 handle attachment studs and 4 small handle screws.

To fit the handles

Insert the handle attachment stud into the fixed

threaded holes (fig.2a) found on the front of each

compartment door and tighten using the Allen key

provided in a clockwise direction.

Align and fit the handle on to the handle attachment

studs (fig.2b).

Using the Allen key, tighten the small handle screws

fitted to the inside of the wider handle end (fig.2c).

Install the 2nd handle in the same way (see fig.2d).

Energy efficiency

Do not cover your appliances with any material that will

prevent air from flowing around the cabinet sides.

Do not leave the door open for any longer than is

necessary.

Allow good clearances in front of the air ducts within the

cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.

6Installation instructions

Energy saving tips

There are many simple things that can be done to save energy.

During installation

Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts,

registers, or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a

section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.

Be sure the doors are closing securely by levelling refrigerator.

During Use

Avoid overcrowding shelves, as this reduces airflow.

Do not use anything (such aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towelling) as a shelf liner, as this

reduces airflow.

Avoid adding too much warm food all at once, as this reduces cooling power.

Your refrigerator is most efficient when two thirds full.

Organise items in refrigerator to reduce the time that the door is open.

Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments

Remove all packaging.

Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove

manufacturing and transportation dust.

The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the refrigerator

and freezer have cooled sufficiently.

Allow the refrigerator to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the

appropriate temperature.

Moving or storing your refrigerator

If your refrigerator or freezer 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 refrigerator

Turn off the appliance and unplug from the power point. Remove all food.

Turn the adjustable feet to the right as far as they will turn.

Ease the refrigerator out of its position. Tuck the power cord away. 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 for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

Storing your refrigerator or freezer

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 teaspoon

of baking soda to each 500 ml of water). Rinse with clean water.

Holiday time

We recommend you leave your refrigerator or freezer operating while you are on holiday.

For extended holidays away from home, please refer to the Holiday mode function on page 8.

Fridge Comptmt On/Off ( A1 )

This function enables the temperature to the fridge compartment to be turned off and the

internal air duct closed, leaving just the freezer compartment operating normally. An internal fan

for the compartment will continue to circulate the air to help hinder stale odours from forming.

Note: the FRIDGE TEMP ON/OFF, when illuminated, indicates that the fridge compartment is

operating in normal cooling mode.

To turn off the cooling to the fridge compartment, press and hold the FRIDGE TEMP ON/OFF

button for 5 seconds. The indicator light will go out and the fridge compartment temperature

will turn off.

To resume normal cooling operation to the fridge compartment, press and hold the FRIDGE

TEMP ON/OFF button for 5 seconds. When activated, the indicator light will illuminate and

remain on.

Holiday mode ( A2 )

If you are going on an extended holiday, there is an easy way to save energy and money.

Activating the Holiday mode means that the freezer continues to operate normally and, whilst

the temperature control is turned off in the fridge compartment, the internal air duct remains

open, which prevents the compartment from becoming too warm in areas of high humidity or

ambient temperatures. The air circulating through the fridge compartment will help keep the

cabinet aerated and hinder stale odours from forming.

Important!

All fresh food and perishables must be removed from the fridge compartment.

To activate Holiday mode, simply press the HOLIDAY button. The indicator light will illuminate

and the fridge compartment temperature will change to “–”. Holiday mode will remain on until

deactivated. Freezer compartment temperature will not change.

To deactivate the mode, press the HOLIDAY button. The indicator light will go out when

deactivated.

Note: for Holiday mode to work, ensure both the POWER (

A10

) and FRIDGE COMPTMT ON/OFF

(

) buttons are illuminated.
