■■It is imperative the pressure reducing valve (PRV) is fitted prior to the filter. This valve ensures water will not flow back into the mains from the refrigerator’s water system. If the PRV is not fitted to the connection line, the Ice & Water features may not function in some circumstances.
■■The water connection to your Ice & Water refrigerator must be installed by an authorised plumber or authorised Fisher & Paykel service person.
■■The water connection instructions below are intended only for the professional installer.
■■The new tubings supplied with the refrigerator are to be used, old tubings from old Ice & Water connections should not be used.

■■DO NOT use on hot water supply (38°C [100°F max.]).
■■DO NOT cut any length of tube shorter than 200mm.
■■DO NOT install near electrical wires or water pipes that will be in the path of drilling when selecting the location of the filter system.
■■DO NOT mount the filter in such a position that it will be struck by other items, such as wastebaskets, etc.
