It is important that all four corners of the refrigerator base are supported firmly on the floor to eliminate any cabinet movement.

Installing the appliance on a soft or uneven or unlevel floor may result in twisting of the cabinet and poor sealing of the doors. If the doors do not seal properly, warm air will enter the food storage areas causing the temperature to increase, resulting in food spoilage and food loss.

Your Fisher & Paykel Active Smart™ 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.

BRoll 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 7).

If required raise the front of the appliance (by turning the adjustable feet clockwise) until it is stable and the doors move towards the closed position on their own, when open.

The front levelling foot on the hinge side should take the majority of the weight of the cabinet and the cabinet should be stable, ie the cabinet should not rock or wobble.

(Model RF610A only)

CAdjust the front feet down until the refrigerator is leaning backward with the front approximately 10 mm higher than the back. This will ensure a good door closing action. (Refer to Fig.2).

DAligning your refrigerator with cabinetry.

Align the sides of the refrigerator with the cabinetry by adjusting the hinge side front foot.

Adjust the handle side foot until it touches the floor and takes a small amount of weight.

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

up the cabinet until the two doors top edges are aligned.

If right hand door is higher, then adjust the right hand foot in the same way.
