Variable temperature zones

Separate food modes, in both fridge and freezer, allow you adjust the temperature independently for optimal storage.

REFRIGERATOR FOOD MODES TYPES OF FOOD TO STORE
Pantry (12°C/54°F)	‘Pantry’ mode provides a cool, dark place for a wide variety of foods that perish quickly or may spoil at room temperature, but are too sensitive to be stored at normal refrigerator temperatures.
Fridge (3°C/37°F)	The ideal mode for fresh, everyday foods. This mode offers a higher relative humidity than many other refrigerators allowing fresh foods such as fruits and vegetables, meats and cheeses to stay fresher for longer.
Chill (-0.5°C/31°F)	‘Chill’ mode is an extension of ‘Fridge’ mode, providing the perfect storage zone for highly perishable food to ensure they retain their vital freshness and quality. These items will last slightly longer here compared with storage at ‘Fridge’ mode. Note: Ensure these highly perishable items are consumed within their recommended storage times.
FREEZER FOOD MODES TYPES OF FOOD TO STORE
Soft Freeze (-9°C/16°F)	‘Soft Freeze’ mode is an extension of your refrigerator, extending the shelf life of perishable items while maintaining the quality. ‘Soft Freeze’ mode allows easy portioning of food and the ability to heat, cook or serve foods straight from the compartment without waiting for it to thaw.
Freezer (-18°C/-1°F)	‘Freezer’ mode is for general frozen food items that require storage between 1-12 months.
Deep Freeze (-25°C/-13°F)	‘Deep Freeze’ mode is for frozen food items that may need to be stored for longer periods. ‘Deep Freeze’ extends the shelf life of general frozen items by up to 6 months longer than that of ‘Freezer’ mode.

Note: Not all combinations of food modes are available in all compartments. If a food mode is not available, it will not be selectable on the control panel.

Max Cool

Holiday/vacation (freeze only)

Before leaving:

• Turn the ice maker to OFF on the control panel.
• Shut off the water supply to the appliance.

On return:

• Turn on the ice maker. Discard the first full bin of ice.

For best food care

• Store only high-quality, fresh food in your appliance.
• Store perishable foods in the appliance immediately after purchase. Storing at room temperature increases the rate of deterioration and can allow harmful microbial growth.

• Foods such as meat, poultry and seafood should be well wrapped or sealed in suitable packaging to prevent dehydration, color deterioration, loss of flavor, and transfer of odor.

• We recommend storing these foods on the bottom shelf of your appliance or in one of the bins to prevent potential spills and cross-contamination with other foods.

• Ensure hot foods and beverages are cooled sufficiently before placing them into the appliance. Hot items may cause other foods to warm to unsafe temperatures. It may also cause sealed items to sweat/condensate—which is undesirable.

• Beverages are best stored standing upright in the door shelves or on the bottle racks provided.
• Ensure raw and cooked foods are stored separately to avoid cross-contamination.
• Consume food items within the recommended storage times. Discard foods that show sign of spoilage.
• Keep door openings to a minimum to maintain optimum storage temperatures inside your appliance.
• We recommend using 'Max Cool' or 'Fast Freeze' when you are adding food items to your appliance, such as after grocery shopping. This feature will ensure the food is chilled/frozen within the shortest period of time, locking in the freshness and extending the shelf life of your food.

Items stored in your refrigerator

• Dairy items such as butter and cheeses should be stored in the covered door shelf to minimize any transfer of odor or odor absorption from other foods.
• Eggs should be stored in their carton to avoid absorption of strong odors through their porous shell structure.

Items stored in your freezer

We recommended cooling carbonated beverages only when the 'Bottle Chill' function is active.

• Do not store carbonated drinks without this function in the freezer.

Failure to remove beverages could lead to freezing liquid and the likelihood of bottle/can explosion.

• Ensure air is removed from packaging to avoid large formation of ice crystals and prevent freezer burn.
  To maintain freshness and quality, we recommend defrosting foods in the refrigerator.

Ensure partially or fully defrosted foods are never re-frozen—cook immediately.

Faults

• In the unlikely event a fault occurs, 4 rapid beeps will be heard and the fault will be displayed on the control panel.

• Record the fault code displayed on the control panel and contact a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician in order to repair the fault. You can do this by going online to fisherpaykel.com or by contacting our Customer Care Center.

Normal appliance sounds

Integrated Columns has been designed to have excellent energy ratings and cooling performance. As a result, it can produce sounds somewhat different to your old appliance.

Normal operational sounds include:

• Low frequency ticking sound. This is the valve that controls cooling to each compartment. This noise will only last for a few seconds at a time.
• Fan air flow sound. Integrated Columns has fans which change speed depending on demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate the cold air in the appliance producing some air flow sound. This is quite normal.
• Cracking or popping sounds. This may occur when the automatic defrost function is operating.
• Running water sound. This is the liquid refrigerant in the system and can be heard as a boiling or gurgling noise.
• An audible hissing sound after closing the freezer door. This is due to the pressure difference between the warm air that has entered the cabinet and suddenly cooled, and the outside air pressure.

• Humming sounds. This is the compressor running and is quite normal.
  Ice maker sounds:

• Motor operation (low humming).

• Running water as the ice maker and/or water tank fills.
• Water valve opening and closing (hissing sound).
• Ice being loosened from the ice moulding tray (cracking).

• Ice dropping into bin (clunking).

• Other sounds may be heard for the following reasons:

• Floor uneven or weak.

• Bottles or jars rattling on shelves.

If there is a problem with your appliance, please check the following points before contacting your local Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician or the Customer Care Center.
