Moving Or Storing Your Refrigerator - Fisher & Paykel Refrigerator & Freezer Installation And User Instructions Manual

Moving or storing your refrigerator

7
If your refrigerator or freezer 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 appliance and unplug from the power point. Remove all food.
Turn the adjustable feet to the right as far as they will turn.
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 right hand side when viewed from the front).
Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it
standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.
Storing your refrigerator or freezer
When storing your cleaned appliance, leave the door(s) open. This allows air to circulate and
prevents the build up of bacteria and moulds.
Before using again, clean well using a mixture of warm water and baking soda (add 1 teaspoon
of baking soda to each 500 ml of water). Rinse with clean water.
Holiday time
We recommend you leave your refrigerator or freezer operating while you are on holiday.
For extended holidays away from home, please refer to the Holiday mode function on page 8.
