Before Installation

Please follow the installation steps below to ensure your appliance is installed and operates correctly.

Power

  • The appliance must be installed so the plug is accessible.
  • To ensure that the appliance is not accidently switched off, connect your refrigerator to its own isolating switch. Do not plug in any other appliance at this isolating switch.
  • For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate. This is located at the front right-hand side of the drawer when open.
  • It is essential that the appliance is properly grounded (earthed).
  • Connect the appliance to the electrical supply (220V – 240V 50Hz) with the fitted plug and lead.
  • Connections to the mains supply should be in accordance with local regulations.

Location 

  • Your refrigerator should not be located in direct sunlight or next to any heat generating appliance such as a cooktop, oven or dishwasher.
  • This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as
    • Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices, and other working environments;
    • Domestic farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
    • Domestic bed and breakfast type environments;
    • Domestic catering and similar non-retail/non-commercial applications.

Ice & water models only

  • Your Ice & Water refrigerator must be installed by an authorised plumber or Fisher & Paykel Authorised Repairer as incorrect plumbing can lead to water leaks.
