SAFETY AND WARNINGS

Electrical
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions before use.
z
To allow disconnection of the appliance from the supply after installation, incorporate a
z
switch in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord. Always grip the plug firmly
z
and pull straight out from the outlet.
Do not plug in any other appliance at the same power point as your refrigerator or use
z
extension cords or double adapters.
Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or
z
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
z
trained and supported service technician because special purpose tools are required.
When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the
z
power cord.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance,
z
unless they are of the type recommended by the manufacturer.
When positioning the appliance, ensure the power cord is not trapped or damaged.
z
Do not locate multiple portable socket-outlets or portable power supplies at the rear of
z
the appliance.
Water filter
To reduce the risk associated with choking:
z
DO NOT allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the
z
installation of the water filter.
The water connection to your Ice & water refrigerator must be installed by a qualified
z
plumber or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician and comply with all
state and local laws.
Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes. Check with your
z
local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow their guidelines as you
install the water filtration system.
To avoid serious illness or death, only connect your water filter to safe drinking water.
z
The water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the replacement indicator icon
z
illuminates. This will happen every 6 months.
If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge. Failure
z
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.
When installing the product use new tubing supplied with the refrigerator, DO NOT reuse
z
any existing water connections.
The water system is designed to operate between 138–827kPa (20–120psi). DO NOT install
z
if water pressure exceeds 827kPa (120psi). Ensure the supplied pressure limiting valve is
installed before installing the water filtration system.
To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding:
z
DO NOT install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 38°C or
z
drop below 0.6°C.
DO NOT install on hot water supply lines. The water filter system is designed with a
z
maximum inlet temperature of 38°C.
DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions
z
exist, you must install a water hammer arrester.
