Fisher & Paykel E402B Refrigerator User Manual


 
4
Unplug your refrigerator or freezer before cleaning or replacing the lightbulb.
Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance.
Important!
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
Authorised Repairer as soon as possible. All electrical repairs must be carried out by an
adequately trained service technician or qualified electrician.
Storing food and drinks
DO NOT store explosive substances such as aerosols cans with a flammable propellant in this
appliance.
Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator or freezer as they may explode.
Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during freezing, which may cause the
container to explode.
Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.
Do not consume food if it is too cold. Food removed from the freezer compartment 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. Follow the recommendations below if
you discover food in your freezer has thawed:
1) Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter period than
recommended.
2) Thawed but refrigerator cold – refreezing generally not recommended. Fruits 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.
3) Thawed but warmer than 5°C – discard all foods.
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
Important!
Cleaning
Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack plastic
components of your refrigerator or freezer and cause them to crack. Please refer to the cleaning
care section of this booklet for further advice.
