Your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician will be able
z
to give advice on environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old
refrigerator or freezer.
Food Safety
Regularly clean surfaces that come into contact with food.
z
Ensure any raw meat or fish is stored in sealed containers to prevent
z
cross-contamination.
Immediately clean any drips or spills on surfaces.
z
If the appliance will be left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and
z
leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature
z
in the compartments of the appliance.
Storing food and drinks
Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in
z
this appliance.
Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator as they may explode.
z
Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during freezing, which may
z
cause the container to explode.
Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.
z
Do not consume food if it is too cold. Food removed from the freezer compartment
z
may be cold enough to cause damage when brought into contact with bare skin, eg
frozen ice cubes.
Power failure — food safety
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous
z
to eat. Follow the recommendations below if you discover food in your freezer
has thawed:
Ice crystals still visible — food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter
z
period than recommended.
Thawed but refrigerator cold — refreezing generally not recommended. Fruits
z
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.
Thawed and warmer than 5°C — discard all food.
z
Water filter
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
z
reuse any existing water connections.
The water system is designed to operate between 138–827kPa (20–120psi). DO NOT
z
install if water pressure exceeds 827kPa (120psi).
In cases of excessively reduced filter life — we recommend that you consult a local
