Important Planning Information
This document is a planning guide for Fisher & Paykel Series 11 Integrated Refrigeration units. It provides essential dimensional data, cavity specifications, custom panel preparation instructions, and electrical/plumbing requirements. This guide should not be used as the sole installation manual; refer to the specific installation instructions provided with the product upon delivery.
Product Overview
The Series 11 Integrated Refrigeration collection includes various models, including single-door refrigerators, freezers, wine cabinets, and French door refrigerator-freezers. These units are designed for a 2.1M cavity height and offer flexible installation options, including standalone or paired configurations.
Cavity Specifications
Proper cavity preparation is critical for a seamless installation. Key considerations include:
- Cavity Depth: Minimum depth is 635mm when services are outside the cavity, or 650mm when services are located at the rear.
- Gap Requirements: A minimum 3mm gap is required between custom panels and adjacent cabinetry.
- Framed Cabinetry: A finished return of 102mm is required for framed cabinetry in the cavity.
Door Swing Clearances
Ensure adequate space for door operation. The guide provides specific clearance dimensions for 90° and 115° openings for all model widths (46cm, 61cm, 76cm, 91cm). If doors clash when opened, a gap is required; if the gap is less than 110mm, only one door may be opened at a time depending on the handle style.
Custom Panel Preparation
These appliances are designed to be customized with kitchen cabinetry or stainless steel door panel accessories. Key requirements include:
- Panel Thickness: Minimum 19mm.
- Mounting: Custom panels, toe kicks, and handles must be manufactured and fitted by a cabinet maker.
- Toe Kicks: Options exist for low (51mm) and high (152mm) toe kicks, requiring specific panel heights and grill modifications.
Electrical and Plumbing Requirements
All models require a 230V, 50Hz electrical supply with a 10A service. Plumbing connections for ice and water models require a 1/2" (AU/NZ) or 3/4" (GB/EU/CN) stainless steel braided hose with a hose adapter. Connections may be located in an adjacent cabinet to either side of the fridge.

Common problems
Doors clashing during operation
Ensure a minimum gap of 110mm if doors clash when opened; otherwise, only one door may be opened at a time depending on the handle style.
Panel thickness issues

Before use
- Verify cavity dimensions match the specific model requirements.
- Ensure electrical and plumbing services are located according to the provided diagrams.
- Check door swing clearances to ensure adequate space for opening.
- Confirm custom panel dimensions and mounting hole locations.
- Check if the installation requires a low (51mm) or high (152mm) toe kick.
