water supplied to your home.

●●

Filter replacement is the consumer’s responsibility and

will not be covered by the warranty except in the case of

faulty parts or materials within the filter cartridge.

●●

If the water has not created ice for some time or ice has

an unpleasant taste or odour dispose of ice and refer to

‘Automatic ice’ for flushing instructions. If unpleasant

taste or odour persists, you may wish to fit a new filter

cartridge.

●●

Use new tubing supplied with the refrigerator. DO NOT

reuse old tubing from old water and ice connections.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

●●

Your water filtration system can withstand up to 120psi

(827kPa) of water pressure. Ensure the supplied pressure

reducing valve is installed before installing the water

filtration system. DO NOT install if water pressure

exceeds 120psi (827kPa).

To reduce the risk associated with property damage due

to water leakage or flooding:

●●

DO NOT install systems in areas where ambient

temperatures may go above 100°F (38°C) or drop below

33°F (0.6°C).

●●

DO NOT install on hot water supply lines. The maximum

operating water temperature of this filter system is 100°F

(38°C).

●●

CLEANING CARE

Exterior cleaning

Toe kick grilles and filter

Your Integrated Column is fitted with a toe kick grille to protect the internal working

components. We recommend cleaning the grille and filter in conjunction with changing

your water filter cartridge (every 6months).

The condenser coils of your Integrated Column require periodic cleaning by a

Fisher&Paykel trained service technician.

●●

To maximise operating efficiency, keep ventilation openings clear of obstructions by

regularly vacuuming the flooring in front of your appliance.

●●

More frequent cleaning may be necessary for dusty homes or those with pets sheddinghair.

Interior cleaning

Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, bleach, concentrated

detergents, solvents or abrasive scouring pads on any part of your appliance.

Someofthese chemicals may damage your appliance.

Securing tab

FOOD CARE

For best food care

●●

Store only high-quality, fresh food in your appliance.

●●

Store perishable foods in the appliance immediately after purchase. Storingatroom

temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmfulmicrobialgrowth.

●●

Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in

suitablepackaging to prevent dehydration, colour deterioration, loss of flavour, and

transfer ofodour.

– We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your appliance

orinone of the bins to prevent potential spills and cross-contamination with

otherfoods.

●●

Ensure hot foods and beverages are cooled sufficiently before placing them into

theappliance. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures.

Itmayalso cause sealed items to sweat/condensate — which is undesirable.

●●

Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves or on the bottle

racksprovided.

●●

Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.

●●

Consume food items within the recommended storage times. Discard foods that

showsign of spoilage.

●●

Keep door openings to a minimum to maintain optimum storage temperatures inside

your appliance.

●●

We recommend using ‘Max Cool’ or ‘Fast Freeze’ when you are adding food items

toyour appliance, such as after grocery shopping. This feature will ensure the

food ischilled/frozen within the shortest period of time, locking in the freshness

andextending the shelf life of your food.

Items stored in your refrigerator

●●

Dairy items such as butter and cheeses should be stored in the covered door shelf

tominimise any transfer of odour or odour absorption from other foods.

●●

Eggs should be stored in their carton to avoid absorption of strong odours through

theirporous shell structure.

Items stored in your freezer

●●

We recommend cooling carbonated beverages only when the ‘Bottle Chill’ function

isactive.

– Do not store carbonated drinks without this function in the freezer.

Failuretoremove beverages could lead to freezing liquid and the likelihood

ofbottle/canexplosion.

●●

Ensure air is removed from packaging to avoid large formation of ice crystals and

prevent freezer burn.

●●

To maintain freshness and quality, we recommend defrosting foods in the refrigerator.

Ensure partially or fully defrosted foods are never re-frozen — cook immediately.

USER WARNINGS AND SOUNDS

Faults

●●

In the unlikely event a fault occurs, 4rapid beeps will be heard and the fault

will be displayed on the control panel.

– Record the fault code displayed on the control panel and contact a

Fisher&Paykeltrained and supported service technician in order to

repair thefault. You can do this by going online to fisherpaykel.com or

bycontactingourCustomer Care Centre.

Normal appliance sounds

Integrated Columns has been designed to have excellent energy ratings and

cooling performance. As a result, it can produce sounds somewhat different to your

oldappliance.

Normal operational sounds include:

●●

Low frequency ticking sound. This is the valve that controls cooling to each

compartment. This noise will only last for a few seconds at a time.

●●

Fan air flow sound. Integrated Columns has fans which change speed depending on

demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate

thecoldair in the appliance producing some air flow sound. This is quite normal.

●●

Cracking or popping sounds. This may occur when the automatic defrost function

isoperating.

●●

Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard

asaboiling or gurgling noise.

●●

An audible hissing sound after closing the freezer door. This is due to the pressure

difference between the warm air that has entered the cabinet and suddenly cooled,

andtheoutside airpressure.

●●

Humming sounds. This is the compressor running and is quite normal.

●●

Ice maker sounds:

– Motor operation (low humming).

– Running water as the ice maker and/or water tank fills.

– Water valve opening and closing (hissing sound).

– Ice being loosened from the ice moulding tray (cracking).

– Ice dropping into bin (clunking).

●●

Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:

– Floor uneven or weak.

– Bottles or jars rattling on shelves.
