Danger
This appliance is not intended for use by children or infirmed persons without supervision. This is especially important when using the freezer drawer compartment. Young children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator:
–Take off the doors
–Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
Disposal
Extreme care must be taken when disposing of your old appliance to avoid hazards. The refrigerant gas must be safely removed and for the safety of young children, remove doors. Your Fisher & Paykel Appliances Authorised Service Centre will be able to give advice on environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator.
Electrical
This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used.
Never unplug your refrigerator by pulling on the power cord.
Always grip the plug firmly and pull straight out from the outlet socket.
Do not plug in any other appliance at the same power point outlet socket as your refrigerator is using. Do not use extension cords or double adapters with these products.
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 Appliances Authorised Service Centre because special purpose tools are required.
