Installation instructions
7. Installation (all models)
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 8).
C
Adjust the front feet down until the refrigerator is leaning
backward with the front approximately 10 mm (½”) higher
than the back. This will ensure a good door closing action.
(Refer to Fig.11).
(Non French door models only)
D
Aligning your refrigerator with cabinetry.
■
■
Align the sides of the refrigerator with the cabinetry by
adjusting the hinge side front foot.

Once the refrigerator is in place and aligned with
cupboards/alcove gently push on the front top and check
if the product is rocking or stable.
8. Levelling of refrigerator doors

foot to lift up the cabinet until the two doors top edges
