• Your refrigerator is designed to operate for many years without the need for service checks. However, if your refrigerator is malfunctioning, have it attended to by your Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician as soon as possible.
• If you suspect that the product is not getting cold — items such as ice cream are melting— remove all perishable food and store in another appliance or cooler to prevent spoilage. Immediately call for a service technician.

Cleaning

• Use only soap based cleaning products.
• Avoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on either the interior or exterior of the cabinet as they may cause rusting of metal components and cracking of plastic components.

Disposal

• Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards:
  – The flammable refrigerant gas must be safely removed by a qualified service technician.
  – The thermal insulation foam in this appliance may contain flammable insulation blowing gases, any exposed foam may be highly flammable and must be carefully treated during disposal.
  – DANGER: The doors and panels should be removed and the shelves left in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

• Consult your local energy authority or local codes as to the best way to dispose of your old appliance.

Storing food and drinks

• Do not store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
• Never store volatile or flammable materials in your appliance as they may explode.

• Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.

Water filter

IMPORTANT!

• The water connection to your Ice & water refrigerator must be installed by a qualified 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 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.
• The water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the replacement indicator icon illuminates. This will happen every 6 months.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• If the water has not created ice for some time or ice has an unpleasant taste or odour dispose of ice and refer to ‘Automatic ice’ for flushing instructions. If unpleasant taste or odour persists, you may wish to fit a new filter cartridge.
• Use new tubing supplied with the refrigerator. DO NOT reuse old tubing from old water and ice connections.
• Your water filtration system can withstand up to 120psi (827kPa) of water pressure. Ensure the supplied pressure reducing valve is installed before installing the water filtration system. DO NOT install if water pressure exceeds 120psi (827kPa).
• To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding:
• DO NOT install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 100°F (38°C) or drop below 33°F (0.6°C).
• DO NOT install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is 100°F (38°C).
• DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist, you must install a water hammer arrester.

WARNING!
To reduce the risk associated with choking:

• DO NOT allow children under 3 years of age to have access to small parts during the installation of the water filter.

Ice making
IMPORTANT!

• Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ice maker ejector mechanism, and do not place your fingers on the automatic ice- making mechanism while the appliance is in operation.

CLEANING CARE

Exterior cleaning
Toe kick grilles and filter
Your Integrated Column is fitted with a toe kick grille to protect the internal working components. We recommend cleaning the grille and filter in conjunction with changing your water filter cartridge (every 6 months).
The condenser coils of your Integrated Column require periodic cleaning by a Fisher & Paykel trained service technician.

• To maximise operating efficiency, keep ventilation openings clear of obstructions by regularly vacuuming the flooring in front of your appliance.
• More frequent cleaning may be necessary for dusty homes or those with pets shedding hair.

Interior cleaning
Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, ammonia, chlorine, bleach, concentrated detergents, solvents or abrasive scouring pads on any part of your appliance.
Some of these chemicals may damage your appliance.
Clean all surfaces with a mild liquid detergent dissolved in warm water and a soft cloth.
Rinse with clean water and dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Holiday/vacation (freezer only)
Before leaving:

• Turn the ice maker to OFF on the control panel.
• Shut off the water supply to the appliance.

On return:

• Turn on the ice maker. Discard the first full bin of ice.

FOOD CARE

For best food care

• Store only high-quality, fresh food in your appliance.

• Store perishable foods in the appliance immediately after purchase. Storing at room temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmful microbial growth.

• Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in suitable packaging to prevent dehydration, colour deterioration, loss of flavour, and transfer of odour.
  – We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your appliance or in one of the bins to prevent potential spills and cross-contamination with other foods.

• Ensure hot foods and beverages are cooled sufficiently before placing them into the appliance. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures.

• It may also cause sealed items to sweat/condensate — which is undesirable.

• Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves or on the bottle racks provided.

• Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.

• Consume food items within the recommended storage times. Discard foods that show sign of spoilage.

• Keep door openings to a minimum to maintain optimum storage temperatures inside your appliance.

• We recommend using ‘Max Cool’ or ‘Fast Freeze’ when you are adding food items to your appliance, such as after grocery shopping. This feature will ensure the food is chilled/frozen within the shortest period of time, locking in the freshness and extending the shelf life of your food.

Items stored in your refrigerator

• Dairy items such as butter and cheeses should be stored in the covered door shelf to minimise any transfer of odour or odour absorption from other foods.
• Eggs should be stored in their carton to avoid absorption of strong odours through their porous shell structure.

Items stored in your freezer

• We recommend cooling carbonated beverages only when the ‘Bottle Chill’ function is active.
  – Do not store carbonated drinks without this function in the freezer.

• Failure to remove beverages could lead to freezing liquid and the likelihood of bottle/can explosion.

• Ensure air is removed from packaging to avoid large formation of ice crystals and prevent freezer burn.

• To maintain freshness and quality, we recommend defrosting foods in the refrigerator.
  Ensure partially or fully defrosted foods are never re-frozen — cook immediately.

USER WARNINGS AND SOUNDS

Faults

• In the unlikely event a fault occurs, 4 rapid beeps will be heard and the fault will be displayed on the control panel.
  – Record the fault code displayed on the control panel and contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician in order to repair the fault. You can do this by going online to fisherpaykel.com or by contacting our Customer Care Centre.

Normal appliance sounds
Integrated Columns has been designed to have excellent energy ratings and cooling performance. As a result, it can produce sounds somewhat different to your old appliance.
Normal operational sounds include:

• Low frequency ticking sound. This is the valve that controls cooling to each compartment. This noise will only last for a few seconds at a time.

• Fan air flow sound. Integrated Columns has fans which change speed depending on demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate the cold air in the appliance producing some air flow sound. This is quite normal.

• Cracking or popping sounds. This may occur when the automatic defrost function is operating.

• Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard as a boiling or gurgling noise.

• 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.

• Humming sounds. This is the compressor running and is quite normal.

• Ice maker sounds:
  – Motor operation (low humming).
  – Running water as the ice maker and/or water tank fills.
  – Water valve opening and closing (hissing sound).
  – Ice being loosened from the ice moulding tray (cracking).
  – Ice dropping into bin (clunking).

• Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:
  – Floor uneven or weak.
  – Bottles or jars rattling on shelves.
