General Installation - Westinghouse FJ302 User Manual

INSTALLATION
GENERAL INSTALLATION FOR ALL MODELS
When correctly installed, your appliance should:
• have adequate clearance to the back, sides and top for
air circulation
• be aligned to the surrounding cupboards
• have doors that will self close from a partially open
position
• have a stability foot in place to prevent the appliance
falling forward when a door with heavy food load
is opened (models FJ302, FJ362, RP372, RP432,
WRM4300, WFM3600, top mount and bottom
mounts).
INSTALLATION
The appliance should arrive with the front rollers wound
down. We recommend that the appliance be tilted
backwards by about 10 to 15 millimetres, this will allow
the doors to self close providing a consistent door seal. The
stability foot (where applicable) should also be wound up fully
so as not to interfere with the operation of the rollers.
Height adjustable
front rollers
When you want to install your appliance, take the
following steps.
1. Roll the refrigerator into it's final position.
The rollers are designed for forward or backward movement
only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways
may damage your floor and the rollers.
2. If the appliance is not tilted back you can adjust the
two front rollers by adjusting the large plastic roller
nut (refer page 5). You may need two people, one to
adjust rollers and one to tilt the refrigerator slightly back
to take the weight of the appliance off the front rollers.
This will increase or decrease the height of the rollers.
One turn of the nut will change the tilt of the refrigerator
by approximately 10mm.
WARNING
3. If the cabinet is level, then the side walls should be
plumb or vertical. If the cabinet is built in or partly built
in check the alignment of the cabinet side against the
cupboard.
10-15mm
4. If the appliance now rocks from one corner to the
opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is
uneven; you will need to put some packing under one
of the rear rollers.

5. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by
adjusting the front rollers once again.
6. When you have the appliance in it's final position wind
the stabilising foot down (where applicable) until it
just makes contact with the floor. Whenever you need
to move the appliance, wind the foot back up so the
appliance can move freely.
