Warning
When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including the following:
Danger
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical,
sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
The manufacturer’s installation instructions for product and cabinetry ventilation must be
followed when installing the appliance.
Keep ventilation openings, in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure, clear of
obstruction.
Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process.
Do not damage the refrigerant circuit.
Disposal
Extreme care must be taken when disposing your old appliance to avoid hazards:
The refrigerant gas must be safely removed.
The doors should be removed and the shelves left in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.
Your Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer will be able to give advice on environmentally friendly
methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.
Electrical
Your new appliance must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions before use.
Never unplug your refrigerator or freezer by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet.
Do not plug in any other appliance at the same power point as your refrigerator or freezer or use
extension cords or double adapters.
Repair or replace immediately all electric service cords that have become frayed or otherwise
damaged. Do not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion along its length or at either the plug
or appliance end.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by your Fisher & Paykel Authorised
Repairer because special purpose tools are required.
When moving your appliance be careful not to roll over or damage the powercord.
