Fisher & Paykel RS36W80 series Installation Instructions Manual page 18

IMPORTANT!
Safety requires refrigerators be stable when door and/or drawer, are open. The anti-tip bracket and fittings supplied must be fitted to the wall of the finished enclosure to withstand
a 220.5lb (100kg) load. This will prevent the possibility of the appliance tipping forward, when door and/or drawer, are open.
WARNING!
Failure to follow instructions can lead to serious injury or death.
When fastening with masonry plugs and/or screws:
Ensure the screws avoid electrical, gas and water conduits.
● ●
Ensure the surface the bracket is fastened to withstands a 220.5lb (100kg) load.
● ●
Ensure light-weight masonry material such as cinder block and new concrete (no curing time) are not used in installation.
● ●
Do not use metallic materials that may corrode, stain and/or damage the enclosure.

For 80" (2032mm) cavity installation
Wooden/plaster board wall installation
Project the end of the above finished enclosure to the center of the back wall and
1
subtract 2 7/16" (62mm). This will locate the contact surface between the bracket and
the appliance (refer to A).
Ensure a structural beam/wall stud closest to the center of the wall enclosure is located.
Fix bracket to the wall with screws x4 (#10 x 40 pan head Phillips screws).
2
Ensure screws hold tight and the bracket overlaps the appliance when it is positioned
(2 3/8" min. (60mm)) for a secure hold.
Solid wall installation
Project the end of the above finished enclosure to the center of the back wall and
1
subtract 2 7/16" (62mm). This will locate the contact surface between the bracket
and the appliance (refer to B).
Mark screw locations to drill Ø 1/4" x 1 3/8" (Ø 6mm x 35mm) deep holes. Hammer
2
masonry plugs into the wall until flush x4. Fix bracket to the wall with screws x4
(#10 x 40 pan head Phillips screws). Ensure screws hold tight.
Spacer installation
If a minimum 2 3/8" (60mm) overlap cannot be achieved we recommend
fastening a solid spacer (wooden beam etc) behind the bracket.
Ensure the length of the spacer corresponds to the enclosure's width. Always
1
secure the spacer to existing studs on the enclosure wall (refer to C).
Fix bracket to the spacer with screws x4 (#10 x 40 pan head Phillips screws).
2
Ensure screws hold tight and the bracket overlaps the appliance when it is
