It is important that this User Guide should be retained with your Ice & Water refrigerator for future reference. Should the appliance be sold or transferred to another owner, please ensure that the User Guide is left with the appliance. This will ensure that the new owner can familiarize themselves with the information and warnings contained within the Guide.

WARNING!

Electric Shock Hazard

Read and follow the SAFETY AND WARNINGS outlined in this User Guide before operating this appliance.

Failure to do so can result in death, electric shock, fire or injury to persons.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as described in this User Guide.

Important safety precautions

Warning

When using this appliance always exercise basic safety precautions including the following:

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 or freezer:
- 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 Center will be able to give advice on environmentally friendly methods of disposing of your old refrigerator or freezer.

Electrical

This appliance must be properly installed in accordance with the installation instructions before it is used.
■ Never unplug your refrigerator or freezer 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 or freezer 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 Center because special purpose tools are required.

4 Safety and warnings

• When moving your appliance away from the wall, be careful not to roll over or damage the power cord.
  ■ Unplug your refrigerator or freezer before cleaning or replacing the interior lightbulb.

Storing food and drinks

■ Never store volatile or flammable materials in your refrigerator or freezer 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 but warmer than 38^ F ( 4^ C). Red meat can be cooked immediately and refrozen but use as soon as possible. Discard all other frozen foods.
Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. The food may be dangerous to eat.

Important!

Cleaning

Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents which may attack plastic components of your refrigerator or freezer and cause them to crack. Please refer to the cleaning care section of this booklet for further advice.

Important!

It is imperative the pressure reducing valve (PRV) is fitted prior to the filter. This valve ensures the water will not flow back into the mains from the refrigerator water system. If the PRV is not fitted to the connection line your Ice & Water refrigerator features may not function in some circumstances.
It is recommended that an authorised plumber in your state or town is used to install the water connection.
The new tubings supplied with the refrigerator are to be used, old tubings from old Ice & Water connections should not be used.

Installation precautions/warning

• DO NOT use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.
  ■ WARNING – connect to potable water supply only.
  ■ DO NOT install on line pressure above 130 psi (900 kPa) or below 22 psi (150 kPa).
  ■ DO NOT use on hot water supply (100°F [38°C max.]).
• DO NOT install near electrical wires or water pipes that will be in the path of drilling when selecting the location of filter system.
• DO NOT mount filter in such a position so that it will be struck by other items, such as wastebaskets, etc.
• DO NOT install the filter in direct sunlight as prolonged exposure to light can weaken plastic components.
• DO NOT install in a location that is susceptible to freezing temperatures as damage to the housing could occur.
  ■ DO NOT screw filter to the refrigerator.
  ■ AVOID contamination of pipes during installation.
  ■ DO NOT use copper tubing. The plastic tubing supplied should always be used.

Installation instructions

Installation instructions:

1 Ensure that refrigerator is not plugged into a power supply.
2 Locate a cold water supply/feed only suitable for a water connection. Tee & tap fitting is not supplied. If you can't find the connection faucet, contact an authorised plumber in your state or town to fit your water connection.

3 Connect the 8" (200 mm) blue tubing to the outlet of the PRV (blue collet) and the inlet connection of the water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 1. Gently pull on both ends to ensure it is locked.

4 Connect the white 14 " (6 mm) tubing to the outlet of the water filter cartridge as shown in Diagram 2. Gently pull to ensure it is locked.

5 Measure the required length of tubing to run from the PRV to the water connection point.

6 Cut the tubing making sure the ends are square and clean.

7 Connect the tubing to the faucet connection and the base of the PRV (white collet) and then to the faucet as shown in Diagram 3. Please note that the faucet connection supplied should fit most installation situations. If your faucet requires a different fitting, please contact an authorised plumber in your state or town to purchase the correct fitting.

8 Connect one locking key to each side of the water filter cartridge in between the cartridge and the locking collet as shown in Diagram 4.

9 To flush the water filter and check for leaks, aim the end of the tubing into a bucket, turn isolating faucet on and run at least 3 qt (3 L) of water through. Once complete, turn isolating faucet off.

10 Locate desired position for water filter noting carefully the following points:

• It is recommended to fit the water filter in a vertical orientation with the water filter head at the top. This will minimize water leakage when replacing cartridge.
• Ensure the filter is in a convenient location to access every 6 months for replacement. We suggest that this location is beside the water filter supply faucet in a cupboard beside the refrigerator.
• A minimum clearance of 2 12 (64 mm) from the bottom of the filter cartridge is required to perform cartridge removal.
  ■ Do not screw water filter to refrigerator.

Installation instructions

4. Installation

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.

Lower the front of the refrigerator Raise the front of the refrigerator

Fig.10 Refrigerator feet

A Your refrigerator will arrive with the front feet wound up making moving the product into its final location a simple task.

B Roll 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 11).

(RF201A only)

C Adjust the front feet down until the refrigerator is leaning backward with the front approximately 38 " (10 mm) higher than the back. This will ensure a good door closing action. (Refer to Fig.10).

D Aligning 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 upboards /alcove push gently on the front top and check if the product is rocking or stable.

6. What to do if your product is unstable

E Gently push the refrigerator back until the rear rollers contact floor.
■ Measure the gap under the front foot, which has come off the floor.
- Obtain some solid packing material (hardwood, plastic etc) which fits firmly into the gap under the foot.

Note: Do not use metallic materials that may corrode and stain or damage floor coverings.

F Wind both front feet up and roll the product out of position.
- Place the packing material in the location diagonally opposite the front roller that lifts off the floor.
■ Make sure the packing material stays in place when the product is pushed back into position.
- Ideally, the packing material is large enough to rest against the back wall so as to prevent it moving when the cabinet is pushed into position.

Example only Un-level floor This foot lifts off the floor when top front is gently pushed back

Fig 13. Unstable refrigerator

Fig.14 Stabilizing your refrigerator

G Roll the refrigerator back into position and adjust front feet as per step D. (Check alignment and door closing action are satisfactory).
■ Make small adjustments to front feet where necessary.
- Check that the product is stable (all 4 feet are on the floor). If not return to step E and repeat steps F and G.

Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments

■ Remove all packaging. Ensure that all transit clips are removed from the refrigerator. These are small rubber stops located at the back of the shelves.
- Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove manufacturing and transportation dust.
- Allow the refrigerator and freezer to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the appropriate temperature.
The appliance may have an odor on its initial operation, but this will go when the refrigerator and freezer have cooled sufficiently.

Energy efficiency

• Do not cover your appliances with any material that will prevent air from flowing around the cabinet sides.
• Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary.
• Allow good clearances in front of the air ducts within the cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.

Moving or storing your refrigerator

If your refrigerator or freezer is turned off for any reason, wait 10 minutes before turning it back on. This will allow the refrigeration system pressures to equalise before restarting.

Moving your refrigerator

■ Turn off the appliance and unplug from the power point. Remove all food.
■ Turn the adjustable feet to the right as far as they will turn (refer to page 12).
Ease the refrigerator out of its position. Tuck the power cord away and tape the doors closed. Tape the shelves in place. If the cabinet needs to be placed at an angle or laid down, carefully lay it on its side (the right hand side when viewed from the front).
- Relocate and install. If the appliance has been left on its side for any length of time, leave it standing upright for at least 10 minutes before turning on.

Storing your refrigerator or freezer

• When storing your cleaned appliance, leave the door(s) open. This allows air to circulate and prevents the build up of bacteria and moulds.
  Before using again, clean well using a mixture of warm water and baking soda (add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to each 1 pint (500 ml) of water). Rinse with clean water.

Holiday time

We recommend you leave your refrigerator or freezer operating while you are on holiday.

Before you start using your Ice & Water refrigerator

• Check refrigerator is switched on and has cooled for at least 2 hours (refer to page 23 – The temperature of your refrigerator and freezer) before use.
• Check that the water filter has been connected and turned on.
  ■ Turn on ice maker (refer to page 19).
  At first use allow approximately 1 minute from when the dispensing pad is pushed until water is dispensed. This will allow the tank to fill.
• Run through and discard the first 3 qt (3 L) of water from the dispenser, stopping intermittently (refer to page 18 – First use). Failure to do this will result in excessive dripping from your dispenser.
• Discard the first bin of ice (refer to page 19 – First use).

You are now ready to enjoy ice and water from your Active Smart™ refrigerator.

Using your water dispenser

Dispensing pad

Your water dispenser has been designed for one handed operation. Simply push your glass up against the dispenser pad found at the back of the dispenser area. This pad requires only a gentle press to activate.

Please remember that pressing very hard against the dispensing pad will not make the dispenser operate faster or produce greater quantities of water.

First use

■ After installation, on the first use, allow approximately a one minute delay from when the dispensing pad is pushed until water is dispensed. This will allow the tank to fill completely.
- The ⚙ symbol will flash while the water reservoir fills up. Once the reservoir is full, the symbol will stop flashing.
■ After you fill the tank for the first time, dispense and discard approximately 3 qt (3 L) stopping intermittently to flush the tank out.

Dispensing

■ Unless Measured Fill is selected, water will be dispensed in free-flow mode. (For more information on Measured Fill refer to page 21).
- To dispense water push the dispensing pad gently, using a glass or container.
- When you dispense water, a light will appear above the dispensing area, and on the display screen. The water fill icon ⚙ will also appear.
- To stop the flow of water, simply pull your glass away from the dispensing pad.

Ice maker

Your ice maker is designed to automatically dispense ice until it senses that the bin is full. So the more ice you use, the more it makes. It is even clever enough to sense when there is no bin in place to catch the ice.

First use

• When you first turn your refrigerator on after installation, the ice maker will be off.
• To turn your ice maker on use the ≡ button to scroll to the ICE screen.
  Use theor button to turn the ice maker on or off.

on

Shows the ice maker is on.

off

Shows the ice maker is off.

• Press together to force a cycle. The ice tray will flip. Force another cycle. The ice tray will flip and spill the water into the ice bin. Empty water and replace bin.
  If the bin is full, or inserted incorrectly the ice maker will not operate. When the bin is inserted correctly the scoop will be on the right hand side of the bin for models E522B and the front of the bin for model RF201A (refer to Fig.19 on page 20). If the bin is removed the ice maker will not operate
  Once your ice maker is in operation, discard the first bin of ice cubes. This will flush away any impurities in the water line and ensure that you get the best quality ice. We recommend that you also do this after vacations or extended periods of not using ice.
  ■ We recommend that you turn the ice maker off if:
• The water supply is to be off for several hours or
• The ice storage bin is to be removed for a period of time or
• You are going on holiday/vacation.

Fig.18 Turning ice maker on

Information about your ice maker

• Your automatic ice maker will produce approximately eight cubes of ice every 2 – 3 hours, dependent on freezer compartment temperature and number of door openings.
  ■ The ice cube tray will fill with water after the freezer has reached the correct temperature. The first cubes will normally freeze after several hours.
  ■ When cubes are frozen, they will be ejected from the mould into the ice storage bin.
  ■ Ice making will continue until the storage bin is full.
  ■ Ice making will resume when the ice is used.
  ■ For maximum ice storage, level the stored cubes with the ice scoop provided.
• Your Ice & Water product comes with a smaller ice bin inside the larger freezer bin. Attached to this is a scoop for the ice.
  If a large amount of ice is required, remove the smaller storage bin and allow ice to fall into the larger bin.
  If ice is not used often, old cubes will become cloudy, taste stale, will shrink and may stick together. Empty the ice storage bin periodically, wash in lukewarm water, dry thoroughly and place back.

Important!

• Avoid contact with the moving parts of the ice maker ejector mechanism, and do not place your fingers on the automatic ice making mechanism while the refrigerator is in operation.
  Do not use ice cubes that may have become discolored, usually with a green-blue color. If such discolouration is noted, discard the ice cubes and contact your Fisher & Paykel Appliances Authorised Service Center.
  ■ Ensure the ice maker is connected to the filter and only to a drinkable water supply.
• Installation of the water connection to the ice maker must be completed by a qualified service technician or a qualified plumber (see installation instructions).

Freezer Chill

We have created the Freezer Chill feature to help you to get the best possible results when freezing fresh food. Freezer Chill boosts freezing speed, which helps to ensure that vital freshness, texture and taste are retained during the freezing process.

The Freezer Chill feature drops the freezer to it's coldest temperature for a 12 hour period and then returns to its normal mode. You may wish to use this when freezing a quantity of meat or when you are making frozen desserts.

To activate, use the button to scroll to the screen. Then use the button until is displayed.

- To deactivate manually, use the button to scroll to the screen. Then use the ◀ and ▶ buttons until there is no icon in the screen. CHILL

For best results, we recommend that you activate the function approximately 2 hours before it is required. Alternatively, activate it when placing food into the freezer.

Bottle Chill

This function allows you to chill your beverages in the freezer without the worry of forgetting about them.

When activated Bottle Chill will remind you to remove your beverage by sounding an alarm. The user alarm will continue to sound until any key on the panel is pressed.

The time taken to chill depends on the size of your beverage. Bottle Chill allows you to customise this chill time.

Recommended times:

20 minutes – can or small bottle.

25 minutes – wine bottle or similar size beverage.

30 minutes – larger bottle.

If you remove your beverage from the freezer and it is not chilled to your liking, reset the timer to 10 minutes and place the beverage back into the freezer.

- To activate, use the button to scroll to the screen. Then use the button until is displayed.

- Then use the ▶ button to select 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 minutes as displayed on the left hand side of the screen in the MEASURED FILL screen.

An alarm will sound after the amount of time selected has elapsed.

- Press any button on the display to silence the alarm. Remember to remove the beverage from the freezer.

Bottle Chill contd...

Important!

Do not leave the bottle inside the freezer longer than the time needed for chilling.

- To deactivate Bottle Chill manually, use the button to scroll to the screen, then use the ◀ and ▶ buttons until there is no icon in the screen.

Note: The freezer chill and bottle chill option cannot be used at the same time.

The temperature of your refrigerator and freezer

• When the refrigerator is first turned on it will take approximately 2 to 3 hours to cool, depending on the humidity and temperature of the environment.
• To adjust the temperature of a compartment, use the ≡ button to scroll to the TEMPERATURE screen, use the ≡ button to select the compartment to change.
• The temperature can then be adjusted using the ▶ button to make the compartment warmer or the ◀ button to make the compartment colder.
  ■ The temperature setting will be indicated on the icon below.

It is important to have your refrigerator set to the correct temperature. Setting it too cold may cause some items in the refrigerator to freeze, and setting it too warm will decrease the storage life of your food.

For further information on food storage refer to the Food Care section (pages 37 – 39).

Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity control cover

The fruit and vegetable bins feature a unique cover which provides two functions:

• The humidity cover seals the bins and provides a humid microclimate to extend storage times of fruits and vegetables.
  The humidity cover prevents condensation, which forms at high humidities, from dripping down onto the fruit and vegetables. The ability to retain high humidity in the fruit and vegetable bin may produce small amounts of water in the bottom of the fruit and vegetable bins. This can be wiped out as required.

Fruit and vegetable bins and humidity slide (where fitted)

■ Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity slide control that can be adjusted to fruit or vegetables depending on what is stored in the bins.
If possible try to store fruit and vegetables separately. This will help extend their storage life.
If there is a mixture of fruit and vegetables in the bin adjust the position of the control to the center.
If there is too much water in the bins the control can be adjusted towards the setting with fewer drips.
■ Remember a small amount of water in the bins is beneficial for fruit and vegetable storage.

Door alarms

If the fresh food compartment door is left open the alarm will beep after 90 seconds and if the freezer door is left open the alarm will beep after 60 seconds.
■ While either door remains open, subsequent beeps will sound every 30 seconds for 5 minutes.
A continuous alarm will sound if the door has been left open for 5 minutes or longer and the light will turn off. The alarm will stop when the door is closed.

Bottle rack (where fitted)

The bottle rack can be used to store a variety of bottles and can be positioned anywhere you would position a shelf. To re-position, lift the rear of the rack and pull forward. Bottles are best stored with the neck of the beverage facing the front of the refrigerator.

Drip Tray

■ The drip tray is designed to fit into the lip at the bottom of the water dispenser panel.
■ To insert the tray always ensure that the rounded sides are fitted into the dispenser panel first.
■ The purpose of the tray is to capture any odd drips of water that may fall after dispensing.
■ The tray can be easily removed for cleaning (see page 32).

Glass Shelves

■ Glass shelves can be repositioned in the cabinet as desired.
■ Remove by lifting up at the back and pulling forward.

All the water that enters your refrigerator is filtered to remove impurities through a cartridge located in a position of your choice outside the refrigerator. Of course, this will need changing approximately every 6 months or up to 740 gallons (2800 L) depending on the quality of the incoming water and how much you use the dispenser.

There is a replacement indicator ✕ icon on the control panel which will appear when the filter needs replacing. It will flash, when dispensing water, as a reminder.
- Replacement cartridges are available from your authorised Fisher & Paykel Dealer. The details of the replacement cartridge are on the label on the cartridge.

Changing the water filter cartridge

It is not necessary to turn off the water supply before attempting to change the water filter cartridge.

1 Grasp and firmly twist the cartridge in an anticlockwise direction (to the left when installed in the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 1.
2 Pull the cartridge away from the filter head (down when installed in the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 2.

- It is not unusual for a few drops of water to be present when the filter is removed.

3 Discard old filter.
4 Filter installation:

- Remove protective cap on spigot on head.

- Push the cartridge up towards filter head while rotating it in a clockwise direction (to the right when installed in the recommended orientation) as shown in Diagram 3.

5 Reset filter indicator icon on the display (this will remind you when the filter is due to be replaced again). Refer to page 29.
6 Dispense 10 qt (10 L) to flush the cartridge, removing trapped air and harmless carbon fines.
7 A few drips may appear out of the dispenser over the next few days as the remaining trapped air is cleared.

To reset the filter indicator

Important!

We recommend the water filter is used from installation.

Do not reset monitor before filter is changed or filter monitoring will be inaccurate.

• Press and hold ⬤ and ▶ buttons for 4 seconds to reset the filter indicator.
  If present the ⚙ icon in the SCREEN will disappear when reset.

To disable the filter indicator

Note: if disabled, you will not be reminded to change your filter.

■ When no filter is to be fitted, you can disable the filter indicator.
- Press and hold 📋, and buttons for 4 seconds to turn this feature off/on.
- When activated or deactivated the ⚙ icon will flash and on or off will be displayed in the MEASURED FILL screen.
We recommend that you do not disable the filter indicator if you have a filter fitted to the connection.

Important!

To avoid serious illness or death, do not use the water filter where water is unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after use of filter.
The water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the filter indicator icon flashes on the interface panel.
We recommend the water filter cartridge is replaced when the ⚙️ icon flashes. This will happen every 6 months or 740 gallons (2800 L).
If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.
The rate of water flow through the water dispenser can slow down as the filter cartridge accumulates any sediment which may be present in the water supplied to your home. This varies depending upon your local water quality, which may require your filter cartridge to be changed more frequently.
In cases of excessively reduced filter life we recommend that you consult a local plumber or your water supplier for advice on suitable filtration requirements for the water supplied to your home.
Filter replacement is the consumer's responsibility and will not be covered by the warranty except in the case of faulty parts or materials within the filter cartridge.
If the water has not been dispensed for some time or water has an unpleasant taste or odour, flush system by dispensing 10qt (10 L) of water.
If unpleasant taste or odour persists, you may wish to fit a new filter cartridge.

Measured Fill Calibration

The accuracy of your Measured Fill function can be affected by variations in the incoming water pressure. The Measured Fill Calibration Mode allows you to fine-tune the amount of water dispensed from the preselected volumes on your cabinet.

The calibration mode is worked out as a percentage. You can measure the amount the refrigerator is under filling or over filling and increase or decrease the calibration to get the exact amount you want.

To assess whether the Measured Fill function is under or over filling:

■ Press the MEASURED FILL button until 1 qt (1 L) is displayed.
■ Dispense this amount into a measuring jug.
■ Estimate the amount of water that has been dispensed into the jug.
eg. 31 floz = under filling by 1 floz or 975 ml = under filling by 25 mls

To calculate the Calibration factor:

■ Transfer the difference into a percentage.
eg. 32/31 = 1.03 = 103% or 1000/975 = 1.03 = 103%

Enter the Calibration mode by pressing and holding the 📋 and ◀ buttons together for 4 seconds.

■ 100CAL will be displayed.

- The number displayed is a percentage. Adjust this accordingly using the ◀ and ▶buttons. eg. 100 CAL = 103 CAL

■ Press the MEASURED FILL button to confirm your selection.

Please note:

The Measured Fill function has an accuracy of +/-5% at the time of calibration.

The accuracy of your calibration will of course be subject to the accuracy of your measuring device and method.

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 Appliances Authorised Service Center as soon as possible. All electrical repairs must be carried out by an adequately trained service technician or qualified electrician.

Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator

Exterior

Stainless exterior doors (Iridium or EZKleen finishes)

It is important when cleaning the exterior door surface of your refrigerator, to only use liquid dishwashing detergent dissolved in warm water.
■ Dry the door with a clean, lint free cloth.
The use of any abrasive or stainless steel cleaners and solvents will damage the door surface.

Water dispenser pad and interface

We have incorporated a Dispenser and Key Lock function in your refrigerator to make cleaning easier (refer to page 24). This will help you to avoid accidental water dispensing while you clean.
■ Clean the pad and interface panel with a soft damp cloth.

Other exterior surfaces

■ Clean all other exterior surfaces with warm water and detergent.
If necessary, clean the magnetic door gasket and the center door gaskets with an old toothbrush, warm water and liquid dishwashing detergent.

Water evaporator tray

The water evaporator tray is found above the compressor at the back of the refrigerator or freezer. The tray may require infrequent cleaning.
■ Carefully move the refrigerator or freezer out from the wall.
■ Switch off the appliance.
We do not recommend that you remove the evaporator tray. If cleaning is required, excess water can be soaked up from the evaporator tray using a sponge. Wipe out with warm water and detergent or disinfectant.
■ Reassemble taking care not to over-tighten the fasteners.
■ Switch on the appliance.

■ To clean, take the tray out of the dispenser panel and pull the two halves of the tray apart.
■ Clean in warm water with a mild detergent. Dry the tray and clip back together.
■ Reinsert the tray back into the dispenser panel.

Diagram showing a washing machine with a magnified view of its internal components (no text or symbols present)

Interior

It is important to keep the interior of the refrigerator and freezer clean to help prevent food from becoming contaminated during storage.
The amount and types of food stored determines how often cleaning should be carried out (ideally once every 1 to 2 weeks) in the refrigerator.
■ Remove the shelves from cabinet and door. Wash shelves and storage bins in warm water and detergent; rinse in clean water and dry before replacing.
■ Wipe over the interior surfaces with warm water and detergent or baking soda dissolved in warm water (add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to each 12 qt (500 ml) of water). Rinse with clean water.
- To help remove "old stale refrigerator" smells add a few drops of vanilla essence or vinegar to the water before cleaning.
- Clean exterior surfaces with warm water and detergent. Use a toothbrush for the magnetic door gasket.
- Do not use harsh, abrasive cloths or cleaners or highly perfumed, strong smelling cleaners or solvents on any part of the refrigerator or freezer.

Glass shelves

Clean with warm water and detergent or a glass cleaner. If cleaning the shelves without removing from the cabinet, use only warm water and detergent as a glass cleaner can damage the plastic components of your refrigerator.

Bottle rack

- Clean with warm water and detergent. The use of abrasive cleaners and solvents may cause damage.

Automatic ice dispenser

We do not recommend you clean the ice maker componentry, but it is important to clean the bins occasionally.
■ The storage bin should be cleaned regularly and the old ice in the bottom of the bin discarded.
■ Wash bin in lukewarm water, dry thoroughly and replace.
- When replacing the bin ensure that the scoop is on the right hand side, (E522B only) and at the front on RF210A.

Important!

Many commercially available cleaning products contain solvents that may attack the plastic components of your freezer and cause them to crack. It is important to use only warm water and a small amount of liquid dishwashing detergent on any plastic components inside and outside your freezer. Avoid using anti-bacterial cleaning products on either the interior or exterior of the cabinet as they may cause rusting of metal components and cracking of plastic components.

Cleaning and caring for your refrigerator

Humidity Control System

Important!

When cleaning the shelf above the vegetable bins, we recommend that you do not disassemble the Humidity Control System from the shelf.

In the event that the plastic lid and humidity slides become separated from the glass shelf, follow these instructions to reassemble.

Retainer Humidity Slides

1 Turn shelf upside down

2 To attach humidity slides onto shelf front corners, fit bottom clips into shelf front trim. Next, slide sideways towards shelf until arm clips onto glass.

3 To attach humidity control lid – with text facing you, align lid with front of shelf. Hold lid vertically and fit front end into retainer on shelf. Ensure lid fits into retainer as well as underneath humidity slides.

4 At the sides of the shelf, adjust humidity slide tabs so that the plastic lid is between the shelf and the tabs.

5 If clips on back of shelf are present, fasten lid with rear clips. Ensure that the cover is fully secure at front and back of shelf.

Fig.30 Tray removal

To replace trays or fixed bins:

- With the runners pushed back into the refrigerator, place the tray/bin on top of the runners. Push the tray/bin back slowly until you feel it clip back onto the runners.

Important!

■ Ensure that trays and bins are securely clipped onto the runners before use.
Bin and tray runners are pre-lubricated, and will not need to be re-lubricated during their life. Do not attempt to clean grease from the runners, as this will affect their ability to function. Do not immerse runners in water.

Permanently fixed bins and trays (model RF201A only)

The freezer bins and trays in this model are permanently fixed. They cannot be removed from the freezer compartment. To clean simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth.

On vacation/holiday

■ Switch the ice maker to off on the interface panel (refer to page 19).
■ Shut off the water supply to the refrigerator.
- On return turn on the water supply to the refrigerator.
- Dispense 10 qt (10 L) of water and discard to ensure the tank is refilled with fresh water.
■ Turn on the ice maker (refer to page 19).
■ Throw away the first bin of ice cubes.

Normal refrigerator sounds

Active Smart ^™ refrigerators, with their excellent energy ratings and cooling performance, can produce sounds somewhat different to your old refrigerator.

Normal operational sounds include:

Fan air flow sound. Active Smart™ refrigerators have fans which change speed depending on demand. During cooling periods, such as after frequent door openings, fans circulate the cold air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments producing some air flow sound. This is quite normal.
- Cracking or popping which may sound like ice coming off the evaporator. This occurs when the 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.

■ Other strange sounds may be heard for the following reasons:

- Cabinet not level

- Floor uneven or weak

- Bottles or jars rattling on shelves

If this is your first refrigerator with an ice maker, you will hear occasional sounds that may be unfamiliar. They are normal ice making sounds and are not cause for concern.

■ The following sounds are normal with the operation of an ice maker:

- 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).

Red meat

• Place fresh red meat on a plate and loosely cover with waxed paper, plastic wrap or foil.
  ■ Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent any juices lost from the raw meat from contaminating the cooked product.
  ■ Delicatessen meats should be used within the recommended storage time.

Poultry

■ Fresh whole birds should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water. Dry and place on a plate. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or foil.
■ Poultry pieces should also be stored this way. Whole poultry should never be stuffed until just before cooking, otherwise food poisoning may result.
■ Cool and refrigerate cooked poultry quickly. Remove stuffing from poultry and store separately.

Fish and seafood

■ Whole fish and fillets should be used on the day of purchase. Until required, refrigerate on a plate loosely covered with plastic wrap, waxed paper or foil.
If storing overnight or longer, take particular care to select very fresh fish. Whole fish should be rinsed in cold water to remove loose scales and dirt and then patted dry with paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.
- Keep shellfish chilled at all times. Use within 1 – 2 days.

Precooked foods and leftovers

These should be stored in suitable covered containers so that the food will not dry out.
- Keep for only 1 – 2 days.
■ Reheat leftovers only once and until steaming hot.

Fruit and vegetable bins

Although most fruit and vegetables store best at low temperatures, take care not to store the following at temperatures of less than 47^ F ( 7^ C) for long periods: citrus fruit, tropical fruit, tomatoes, cucumbers.
■ Undesirable changes will occur at low temperatures such as softening of the flesh, browning and/or accelerated decaying.
- Do not refrigerate avocados (until they are ripe), bananas, mangoes or pepinos. If possible store fruit and vegetables separately, i.e. fruit in one bin and vegetables in the other.
■ Each fruit and vegetable bin has a humidity control slide that can be adjusted depending on what is stored in the bins. For more information on using the Humidity Control refer to page 26.

Storing food in your freezer

The use of temperatures of 0^ F ( -18^ C) or colder to store food means that the food can be kept for longer periods than when refrigeration temperatures are used. This is because the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts are stopped, and chemical and physical reactions are severely restricted at very low temperatures.

Frozen food care

For best results:

• Choose only high quality foods that freeze well.
• Store at 0°F (-18°C) or colder. Take care to maintain this low storage temperature, eg. try to avoid opening the freezer door unnecessarily. If your ice cream is soft you are running your freezer too warm.

Line drawing of two stacked containers with scattered cubes below (no text or symbols)

Leave space at the top of containers, glass jars or plastic bags containing liquids or semi-solid foods. These expand as they freeze. Usually 1" (20 – 50 mm) head space is recommended. Seal. Ideally, remove all the air from the package after food is frozen.

- Packages or containers of solid foods should have the air removed from them and be sealed tightly before freezing.

- Use the Freezer Chill function when freezing fresh food. This helps to speed up the freezing process, giving optimum freezing results. It is recommended that the function is activated approximately 2 hours before required. For more information refer to page 22.

- Freeze immediately and as quickly as possible. Freeze only small quantities of food at any one time. For best results we recommend that only 2.2 lb (1 kg) of food be frozen per 0.9 cu.ft (25 L) of freezer storage volume at any one time. (About 7 lb (3 kg) in small freezers and 9 lb (4 kg) in larger freezers). For faster freezing in Active Smart™ models, we recommend that fresh food is placed at the top of the freezer compartment close to the air vent.

- Do not pile frozen food around the fan cover. It can prevent adequate air circulation.

Thaw foods preferably in a refrigerator, or using a microwave oven or multifunction oven.

- Keep a constant turnover of food. Use older items of food first. Do not exceed recommended storage times.

■ Use good quality freezer proof packaging to maintain food quality.

If food is only covered in plastic film place inside a freezer-proof plastic bag.

Recommended freezer storage times

These times should not be exceeded.

	Months	1 Bacon, casseroles, milk
		2 Bread, ice-cream, sausages, pies – (meat and fruit),prepared shellfish, oily fish
		3 Non oily fish, shellfish, pizza, scones and muffins
		4 Ham, cakes, biscuits, beef and lamb chops,poultry pieces
		6 Butter, vegetables (blanched), eggs whole and yolks,cooked crayfish, minced meat (raw), pork (raw)
		12 Fruit (dry or in syrup), egg whites, beef (raw), wholechicken, lamb (raw), fruit cakes

Meat, poultry and game

• Do not try to freeze more than 2.2 lb (1 kg) meat per 0.9 cu.ft (25 L) of freezer storage volume at any one time. Meat must be frozen quickly in order to maintain its texture.
  ■ Do not stuff poultry before freezing.
• Red meat can be cooked from frozen, or from the partly or completely thawed states. Remember to allow extra cooking time if cooking from frozen.
  ■ Always thaw poultry completely before cooking.

Illustration of two elongated, irregular objects resembling food items or biological samples (no text or symbols)

Fish

• Fish is best frozen commercially. If however you do want to freeze fish at home, make sure the fish is very fresh and of high quality.
• Clean, scale and preferably leave whole. All fish should be wrapped in two layers of packaging as depending on the type of fish, odors and flavors can be readily transferred either to or from it. Seal well.
  ■ For best results, cook from either the frozen or partly thawed state.

Simple line drawing of a fish with floating cubes (no text or symbols)

Vegetables

• Most vegetables freeze well, although 'salad' vegetables lose their crispness. Other vegetables, eg. celery, onion and tomatoes, should only be used in cooked dished as they soften on freezing.
  ■ Freeze only high quality, mature, ready-to-eat vegetables.
  ■ Sort and discard any that are damaged.
  It is necessary to blanch most raw vegetables prior to freezing.
  ■ Blanching involves a short cooking period during which vegetable enzymes are destroyed. If these enzymes are not destroyed they cause undesirable physical and chemical changes during freezer storage.
• Vegetables can be blanched in boiling water, steam or microwave oven. If using boiling water, boil vegetables for 2 – 4 minutes and cool quickly.
  In general frozen vegetables are best cooked from their frozen state.

Illustration of fresh vegetables including carrots, tomatoes, and a roll of milk (no text or symbols)

Prepared and cooked foods

■ Most cooked foods can be frozen but it is not recommended to freeze the following:

Cooked egg white, custards, cream fillings and milk puddings, gelatin or jelly-like dishes, mayonnaise and similar salad dressings, meringue toppings. These tend to separate on thawing.

Simple line drawing of a sliced pie with visible segments and fill (no text or symbols)

Fruit

• Choose high quality, mature, and ready to eat fruit. Preferably select varieties recommended for freezing.
  ■ Avoid unripe and over-ripe fruit.
  The way fruit is packed depends on how it is to be used. Fruits packed in syrup are ideal for desserts, whereas fruits packed without sugar are better used for cooking. Most fruits can be stored for 8 – 12 months.
