ACTIVESMART™ SPECIAL FEATURES
Humidity control system
Humidity control lids
The control lids are fitted to the fruit and vegetable bins and slim bin of your refrigerator.
These lids seal the bins and provide a humid microclimate to extend the storage
timesof fruit and vegetables.
The lids have specially designed grooves that retain moisture to prevent condensation
from dripping onto the fruits and vegetables at times of high humidity.
Humidity slide
Each bin has an adjustable humidity slide that enables you to choose a fruit or
vegetable setting depending on your storage needs.
If there is too much water in the bins (due to high humidity), the control can be
adjustedtowards the fruit setting to reduce drips of water and/or wipe the
waterdry (if required).
Be aware that a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and
vegetablestorage.
Use the vegetable setting when you store ethylene-sensitive vegetables such
aslettuce, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, carrots.
Use the fruit setting when you store high-ethylene fruits such ascitrus fruits,
stonefruits and some tropical fruits.
We recommend adjusting the humidity slide to the center when you store both
fruitsandvegetables.
We recommend storing all fruit and vegetables without external packaging and
inseparate bins.
– Separating the fruit and vegetables prevent ethylene-sensitive produce
fromripening too quickly, and help extend their storage life.

CLEANING CARE
Interior
It is important to keep the interior of the refrigerator clean to help prevent food
frombecoming contaminated during storage.
The amount and types of food stored determines how often cleaning should be
carriedout in the refrigerator (ideally once every 1 – 2 weeks).
For ease of cleaning, empty the refrigerator first and remove all glass shelves, door
shelves and storage bins.
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, bleach, concentrated
detergents, solvents or abrasive scouring pads on any part of your appliance.
Someofthese chemicals may damage your appliance.
Clean all surfaces with a mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Ensure the bin tabs are clipped securely onto the runners before use.
IMPORTANT!
The runners are pre-lubricated to help opening and closing the bins.
They do not need to be lubricated again. Do not remove the grease from the
runnersto maintain smooth function. Do not immerse the runners in water.
Freezer bins and freezer tray
Removing the freezer bins and tray when cleaning is not necessary. Simply wipe
cleanwith a soft lint-free cloth.

30
FOOD CARE
For best food care
Store only high-quality, fresh food in your appliance.
Store perishable foods in the appliance immediately after purchase. Storingatroom
temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmfulmicrobialgrowth.
Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in
suitablepackaging to prevent dehydration, color deterioration, loss of flavor, and
transfer ofodor.
– We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your appliance
orinone of the bins to prevent potential spills and cross-contamination with
otherfoods.
Ensure hot foods and beverages are cooled sufficiently before placing them into
theappliance. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures.
Itmayalso cause sealed items to sweat/condensate — which is undesirable.
Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves or on the bottle
racksprovided.
Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.
Consume food items within the recommended storage times. Discard foods that
showsign of spoilage.
Keep door openings to a minimum to maintain optimum storage temperatures inside
your appliance.
We recommend using ‘Fast Freeze’ when you are adding food items toyour freezer,
such as after grocery shopping. This feature will ensure the food isfrozen within
the shortest period of time, locking in the freshness andextending the shelf life of
yourfood.
Items stored in your refrigerator
Dairy items such as butter and cheeses should be stored in the covered door shelf
tominimize any transfer of odor or odor absorption from other foods.
Eggs should be stored in their carton to avoid absorption of strong odors through
theirporous shell structure.
Items stored in your freezer
We recommend cooling carbonated beverages in your freezer only when the ‘Bottle
Chill’ function isactive.
– Do not store carbonated drinks without activating this function. Beverages stored
for long periods of time can lead to freezing liquid and the possibility ofbottle/
canexplosion.
Ensure air is removed from packaging to avoid large formation of ice crystals and
prevent freezer burn.
We recommend defrosting foods in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and quality.
Ensure partially or fully defrosted foods are never re-frozen — cook immediately.

USER WARNINGS AND SOUNDS
Faults
Count the number of beeps made when the fresh food compartment door isopened.
Record the number and sequence of temperature lights displayed on the internal 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.
To silence the fault alarm press any button on the internal control panel.
Normal refrigerator sounds
ActiveSmart™ refrigerators are designed to have excellent energy ratings and
cooling performance. As a result, you may hear sounds somewhat different to your
old refrigerator.
Normal operational sounds include:
Fan air flow sound. ActiveSmart™ refrigerators have fans which change speed
depending on demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings,
fans circulate the cold air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments 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 airpressure.
Humming sounds. This is the compressor running and is quite normal.
Gasket noises. Normally occur over time due to a build up of dirt and/or grime. See
‘Cleaning care’ section.
Ice maker and water dispenser sounds:
– Motor operation (low humming).
– Running water as the ice maker and/or water tank fills.
– Water valve opening and closing (hissing sound).
– Loosened from the ice molding tray (cracking).
– ce dropping into bin (clunking).
Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
– Cabinet not level
– Floor uneven or weak
– Bottles or jars rattling on shelves
