4Safety and warnings
Electrical
■■This appliance must be installed in accordance with the installation instructions before use.
■■Never unplug your refrigerator 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 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 Authorized Service Agent because special purpose tools are required.
■■When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
■■Do not use electrical appliances inside the food storage compartments of the appliance.
Important!
Your refrigerator is designed to operate for many years without the need for service checks. However, if your refrigerator is malfunctioning, have it attended to by your Fisher & Paykel Authorized Service Agent as soon as possible. All electrical repairs must be carried out by an adequately trained service technician or qualified electrician.
Storing food and drinks
■■DO NOT store explosive substances such as aerosol cans with a flammable propellant in this appliance.
■■Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator as they may explode.
■■Never freeze liquids in glass containers. Liquid expands during freezing, which may cause the container to explode.
■■Never freeze carbonated drinks. They may explode.
■■Do not consume food if it is too cold. Food removed from the freezer compartment may be cold enough to cause damage when brought into contact with bare skin, eg frozen ice cubes.
Power failure – food safety
■■Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. Follow the recommendations below if you discover food in your freezer has thawed:
1)Ice crystals still visible – food may be refrozen but should be stored for a shorter period than recommended.
2)Thawed but refrigerator cold – refreezing generally not recommended. Fruits and some cooked food can be refrozen but use as soon as possible. Meat, fish, poultry – use immediately or cook then refreeze. Vegetables – discard as they usually go limp and soggy.
3)Thawed and warmer than 41°F (5°C) – discard all food.
■■Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.
