IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ⚠️

• The water connection to your ice & water refrigerator must be installed by a qualified plumber or Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician and comply with all state and local laws.
• Installation and use MUST comply with all state and local plumbing codes. Check with your local public works department for plumbing codes. You must follow their guidelines as you install the water filtration system.
• To avoid serious illness or death, only connect your water filter to safe drinking water.
• The water filter cartridge needs to be changed when the replacement indicator icon ? illuminates. This will happen every 6 months.
• If the water filtration system has been allowed to freeze, replace filter cartridge.
• Failure to replace the disposable filter at recommended intervals may lead to reduced filter performance and failure of the filter, causing property damage from water leakage or flooding.
• In cases of excessively reduced filter life, 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 created ice for some time or ice has an unpleasant taste or odor, dispose of ice and refer to the flushing instructions in this book. If unpleasant taste or odor persists, you may wish to fit a new filter cartridge.
• Your water filtration system can withstand up to 120psi (827kPa) of water pressure. If a pressure reducing valve was supplied with your product, this must be installed before the water filtration system. DO NOT install if water pressure exceeds 120psi (827kPa).
• To reduce the risk associated with property damage due to water leakage or flooding:
  • DO NOT install systems in areas where ambient temperatures may go above 100°F (38°C) or drop below 33°F (0.6°C).
  • DO NOT install on hot water supply lines. The maximum operating water temperature of this filter system is 100°F (38°C).
  • DO NOT install where water hammer conditions may occur. If water hammer conditions exist, you must install a water hammer arrester.

WATER FILTER FLUSHING INSTRUCTIONS (ALL MODELS)

Flushing the water filter

For optimal performance, there is a requirement to flush 8L (2 gal) of water through your new water filter before use.

For models with water dispensers:

Flushing must be completed through both the water dispenser and ice maker.

For models with ice makers only:

Flushing must be completed through the ice maker.

For some models, a safety lockout feature may activate during the flushing of your water filter. If this occurs, wait a few minutes before dispensing again. For flushing information for your specific model, refer to your products User Guide.
