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.
WATER CONNECTION Ensure the refrigerator is NOT plugged into a power supply. Locate the isolation tap for cold water connection (tee and tap fitting not supplied). Locate the water hose set to complete the water connection installation. Remove cap from water inlet valve at the back of the refrigerator.

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 covering surface. Your refrigerator will arrive with the front feet wound up to assist with moving the product into its final location.
