BEFORE INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT!
●
●
Ensure your appliance is not exposed to any heat generating appliances eg cooktop, oven or dishwasher.
●
●
The refrigerator has front and rear rollers for moving forward and backward. Do not move the refrigerator sideways to avoid damaging the rollers or floor covering/surface.
●
●
The refrigerator must be installed by a qualified installer, or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician to avoid faulty electrical connection and water leaks.
●
●
All connections for water, electrical power and grounding must comply with local codes and ordinances and be made by licensed personnel when required.
●
●
Avoid installation of the refrigerator/s under a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
●
●
Ensure the refrigerator is installed properly. Improper installation that results in refrigerator failure is not covered under the refrigerator warranty.
Check the installation location
Check the cabinetry
●
●
Check the dimensions of the cabinetry (width, depth, height, floor level, finished
alcove returns).
●
●
Ensure that the ventilation openings in the cabinetry are clear of obstruction.
●
●
For integrated installation, a finished return of solid material is required across the top
and sides of the new or existing alcove.
●
●
It is recommended that the return should be at least 3 1/2” (89mm) deep across the sides.
Refer to ‘Cavity Dimensions’ prior to installation of the refrigerator.
Check the power supply connection
●
●
Ensure that there is a separate power outlet for each refrigerator.
●
●
Avoid sharing the power point with other appliances to prevent accidental switching off
of the refrigerator.
●
●
For power requirements, refer to the information on the serial plate. This is located a the
front right-hand side of the drawer when open.
●
●
Ensure your refrigerator is properly grounded (earthed).
●
●
Connect the refrigerator to the electrical supply (115VAC, 60Hz) with fitted plug and lead.
●
●
We recommend to use an isolating switch that is easily accessible to the user after the
refrigerator is installed.

●
Follow the National Electrical Code and all local codes and ordinances when installing
this refrigerator.
Check the water supply connection (for Ice & Water models only)
