4. Installation
Your Fisher & Paykel ActiveSmart™ refrigerator is fitted
with front and rear rollers, designed for moving the
product in the forwards and backwards direction.
Avoid moving the product in a sideways direction
asthis may damage the rollers or the floor
covering/surface.
A
Your refrigerator will arrive with the front feet wound
up making moving the product into its final location
a simple task.
B
Roll the refrigerator into its final position making sure
there is the correct air gap between the product and
surrounding cabinetry. See minimum clearance in
cabinetry dimensions table (refer to page 7).
(French Door models only)
C
Adjust the front feet down until the refrigerator
is leaning backward with the front approximately
/”(10mm) higher than the back. This will ensure
agood door closing action (refer to Fig.2).
D
Aligning your refrigerator with cabinetry.
Align the sides of the refrigerator with the cabinetry
byadjusting the hinge side front foot.
Adjust the handle side foot until it touches the floor and
takes a small amount of weight.
Once the refrigerator is in place and aligned with
cupboards/alcove, push gently on the front top and
check if the product is rocking or stable.
5. Leveling of refrigerator door
(French door models only)
For uneven surfaces, front feet can be used to align the
2 doors.
If left hand door is too low, then unscrew the left hand
foot to lift up the cabinet until the two doors top edges
are aligned.
If right hand door is too low, then adjust the right hand
foot in the same way.
