frozen ice cubes.
Power failure — food safety
z
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous
to eat. Follow the recommendations below if you discover food in your freezer
has thawed:
z
Ice crystals still visible — food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter
period than recommended.
z
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.
z
Thawed and warmer than 5°C — discard all food.
Water filter
z
The water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the replacement indicator icon
illuminates. This will happen every 6 months.
z
If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge. Failure
to replace the disposable filter at recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter
performance and failure of the filter, causing property damage from water leakage
or flooding.
z
In cases of excessively reduced filter life — we recommend that you consult a local
plumber or your water supplier for advice on suitable filtration requirements for the
water supplied to your home.
z
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.

Information about your ice maker
Your automatic ice maker will produce approximately eight cubes of ice every 3 – 4hours,
depending on the freezer compartment temperature and the number of door openings.
The ice cube tray will fill with water. When cubes are frozen, they will be ejected from the
ice tray into the ice storage bin. Ice making will continue until the storage bin is full. Ice
making will resume once you start to use the stored ice.
Your Ice & Water product comes with a smaller ice bin inside the larger freezer bin.
Attached to the ice storage bin is the scoop for the ice. This scoop provides hygienic access
to the ice. If a large amount of ice is required, remove an ice storage bin and allow ice to fall
into the larger bin. For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with the ice scoop.
If ice is not used often, old cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, will shrink and may
stick together. Empty the ice storage bin periodically and wash in lukewarm water. Dry
thoroughly and place back into the correct position.
Turn your ice maker off if:
z
There is no water supply for several hours.
z
You are removing the ice storage bin for a period of time.

FOODCARE
For best food care
z
Store only high-quality, fresh food in your refrigerator.
z
Store perishable foods in the refrigerator immediately after purchase. Storingatroom
temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmfulmicrobialgrowth.
z
Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in
suitablepackaging to prevent dehydration, colour deterioration, loss of flavour, and
transfer ofodour.
z
We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator orinone
of the bins to prevent potential spills and cross-contamination with otherfoods.
z
Ensure hot foods and beverages are cooled sufficiently before placing them into
therefrigerator. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures. Hot
items mayalso cause sealed items to sweat/condensate — which is undesirable.
z
Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves or on the bottle
racksprovided.
z
Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.
z
Consume food items within the recommended storage times. Discard foods that
showsign of spoilage.
z
Keep door openings to a minimum to maintain optimum storage temperatures inside
your refrigerator.
z
We recommend using FAST FREEZE when you are adding food items toyour refrigerator,
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 your food.
z
For storage of general household foods in the most efficient manner, it is recommended
to use the product in the factory configuration supplied. Moving the shelves and bins will
have a minimal impact on efficiency.
z
Storing at temperatures other than settings recommended may impact the storage life.
Items stored in your refrigerator
z
Dairy items such as butter and cheeses should be stored in the covered door shelf
tominimise any transfer of odour or odour absorption from other foods.
z
Eggs should be stored in their carton to avoid absorption of strong odours through
theirporous shell structure.
Items stored in your freezer
z
We recommend cooling carbonated beverages only when the BOTTLE CHILL
function isactive.
z
Do not store carbonated drinks without this function in the freezer.
Failure toremove beverages could lead to freezing liquid and the likelihood
ofbottle/canexplosion.
z
Ensure air is removed from packaging to avoid large formation of ice crystals and
prevent freezer burn.
z
To maintain freshness and quality, we recommend defrosting foods in the refrigerator.
Ensure partially or fully defrosted foods are never re-frozen — cook immediately.
37
MOVING OR STORING YOUR APPLIANCE
If your refrigerator 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 refrigerator and unplug from the
power point. Remove all food.
Turn the adjustable feet to the right as far as
they will turn.
1
Relocate and install. If the refrigerator has
been left on its side for any length of time,
leave it standing upright as long as you can
(a few hours) before turning on.
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 left hand
side when viewed from the front).
2
3
Take care when moving this refrigerator, ensure all obstacles are removed to prevent any
physical impact that may cause damage.
Storing your Refrigerator
z
When storing your cleaned refrigerator, leave the doors open. This allows air to circulate
and prevents the build up of bacteria and moulds.
z
Before using again, clean well using a mixture of warm water and a small amount of
liquid dishwashing detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Holiday/Vacation time
Leave your refrigerator operating while you are on holiday/vacation.
38
ACTIVESMART™ SOUNDS
Normal refrigerator sounds
Your refrigerator is designed with innovative ActiveSmart™ features that can produce
sounds that may be different from your old refrigerator.
Normal operational sounds include:
z
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.
z
Cracking or popping sound which may occur when the defrost function is operating.
z
Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard as a
boiling or gurgling noise.
z
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.
z
Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
z
Cabinet not level.
z
Floor uneven or weak.
z
Bottles or jars rattling on shelves.
z
If this is your first refrigerator with an ice maker, you will hear occasional sounds that
may be unfamiliar. They are normal ice making sounds and are not cause for concern.
z
The following sounds are normal with the operation of an ice maker:
z
Motor operation (low humming).
z
Running water as the ice maker and/or water tank fills.
z
Water valve opening and closing (hissing sound).
z
Ice being loosened from the ice moulding tray (cracking).
z
Ice dropping into bin (clunking).

ELECTRICAL
Electrical connection should be located in an adjacent cabinet to either side of the
refrigerator or above the refrigerator cavity. We recommend the use of an isolating switch
that is easily accessible to the user after the refrigerator is installed.

Uncoil tubing from the back of
the refrigerator and connect the
quick fitting.
Connect one end of the long tubing
(3.5m) to the quick fitting, and insert
the other end to the PLV.
Ensure the short arrow on the PLV
is pointing away from the tap. The
arrow indicates the direction of
water flow.
Locate the water fitting kit to
complete water connection installation.
20
WATER CONNECTION (ICE & WATER MODELS)
Insert the short tubing into the water
tap adaptor, push tubing in at least
16mm before reaching the stop.
Pull gently on the short tubing to
ensure it is locked in place.
If the short tubing is already attached
to the tap adaptor, move to step 6.
Insert the other end of the short
tubing firmly to the PLV.

Fasten the water tap adaptor to the
isolation tap. Take care not to over-
tighten the water tap adaptor.
8
Pull gently on all tubing connections
to ensure they are locked in place.
Turn isolation tap on and check
thatall connections are dry and free
of drips.
Before first use, you need to flush
water through the filter to remove
impurities or trapped air in the water
tank and filter system.
21
FLUSHING THE WATER FILTER (ICE & WATER MODELS)
There may be a few drips of water coming out of the dispenser for a few days after
installation. This is normal and occurs as the remaining trapped air is cleared from the system.
Ensure your refrigerator has cooled for at least 2hours beforeuse.
1 Press the water dispenser pad to dispense
4L of water. Wait for fourminutes before
dispensing again.
2 Dispense 4L of water and then wait for
another fourminutes. There may be
carbon residue dispensed together with
water. This is not harmful, and is normal
during the flushing process.
3 Dispense another 4L of water. This
prevents excessive dripping of water from
your dispenser.

POSITIONING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Your Fisher&Paykel ActiveSmart™ refrigerator is fitted with front and rear rollers to allow
you to easily move your refrigerator forward and backward. Avoid moving your refrigerator
sideways to prevent damaging the rollers or the floor coveringsurface.
Your refrigerator will arrive with the front feet wound up to assist with moving the product
into its final location.

Roll the refrigerator into its final
position ensuring there is the
correct air gap between the product
and surrounding cabinetry. See
minimum clearance in cabinetry
dimensions table.
Adjust the front feet down until the
refrigerator is leaning backward with
the front approximately 10mm higher
than the back. This will ensure a
good door closing action.

of alignment.
Lift the door upwards.
Clip the spacer onto the centre
hinge pin.
Close the door to recheck alignment.
