INSTALLING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE

Adequate ventilation around your refrigerator.
Before you move your appliance into the place where it will operate, check that it will have adequate clearance.
Clearance is required for air circulation and too little clearance may affect the performance of your appliance.
We recommend minimum clearances of:

  • 30mm on each side.
  • 30mm above the refrigerator.
  • 50mm minimum/75mm maximum behind the refrigerator.

NOTE: Doors are designed to sit proud of cabinetry (not flush). The clearances shown above are the recommended minimum clearances. The clearance at the rear must not
exceed 75mm.

Recommended minimum clearances for WRM2400/ WFM1700

If you have a cupboard above the refrigerator with a rear gap of less than 100mm (Y), recommended minimum clearance at the top of the refrigerator increases from 30mm to 70mm (X).

Installing your refrigerator or freezer
The appliance should arrive with the front leveling feet wound up. The appliance may need to be tilted backward at the top by about 10-15mm from vertical (see diagram below). This will allow the door to gravitate to the closed position. The complete closure of the door seal is reliant on manually pushing the door closed to provide a consistent door seal.

Westinghouse Bar Fridges door sea

CAUTION
The rollers are designed for forwarding or backward movement only. They are not castors. Moving the refrigerator sideways may damage your floor and the rollers.

  1. Move the appliance into its final position.

  2. If the appliance is not tilting back as described earlier, minor adjustments can be made to the two front leveling legs by turning the feet in an anticlockwise direction (below). This will increase the height of the feet. If you have difficulty turning the foot, have someone tilt the appliance back to gain better access. If it is not tilted back enough and the leveling legs are fully extended, additional packing might be required (see note 4 for appropriate materials).
    Westinghouse Bar Fridges with Ice appropriate

  3. Compare the alignment of the appliance to the surrounding cupboard. The top of the appliance should be level from side to side (see diagram below). If you need to adjust the level, use the levelling feet as detailed in step 2.
    Westinghouse Bar detailed in step

  4. If the appliance now rocks from one corner to the opposite rear corner, this means that the floor is uneven. You may need to put some packing under the fridge to the rear of the appliance. You could use thin pieces of solid material such as thin board, vinyl floor tiles, or laminate.

  5. You may now need to fine-tune the installation by repeating steps 2, 3, and 4.

  6. Wipe off any dust that has accumulated during shipping and clean following the directions on page 17.

  7. Plug the appliance into the PowerPoint. Don’t use a double adaptor or extension cord.

  8. It is recommended that you let the appliance run for an hour or two (three hours for a freezer) before you put any food in it. This will confirm that it is operating correctly and make the conditions appropriate for food storage.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed your refrigerator/freezer.

INITIAL START-UP – FRIDGES

Refrigerator models WRM1400 & WRM2400 have been fitted with a ‘wet wall’ evaporator which is positioned behind the rear liner. The rear liner will, at times be wet or appear frosted. This is normal and demonstrates that the refrigerator is functioning correctly. This product is designed to operate on a power supply of 220/240 v50Hz. Connect to a separate powerpoint with a correctly earthed three-pin socket. Do not use double adaptors.

Controlling the temperature in your refrigerator
Refrigerators work by transferring heat from the food inside to the outside air. This operation makes the back and sides of the refrigerator (particularly at start-up) feel warm – which is normal. Make sure you fully close the refrigerator door after loading or removing food. If the door is left partially open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the icebox. Ensure shelves are pushed back completely to prevent them from holding the door open.

If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off, you must wait for 3 to 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart the unit before this time delay, the refrigerator will not start.

When the thermostat is turned to its lowest setting and past the point of resistance, the appliance will not operate.

WARNING
Power is still supplied to the appliance.
Condensation caused by the cooling plate

Westinghouse Bar Fridges Fcooling plate

Turn the control knob clockwise to turn the appliance on.
Rotating clockwise will make the appliance colder.
For all models, ‘Less Cold’ corresponds to the warmest temperature while ‘Colder’ is the coldest.
Adjusting the control knobs of WIM1000 AMD WIM1200 will adjust the temperature in both the fridge and freezer compartments.
When the ambient room temperature is 16°C, a setting of halfway between ‘Less Cold’ and ‘Off’ is recommended.

When the ambient room temperature is 25°C, a setting of halfway between ‘Off’ and ‘Colder’ is recommended.

Westinghouse Bar Fridges recommended

When you change temperature settings, make small adjustments and wait 24 hours before assessing whether you need to make further changes.

Starting up and temperature regulation (WRM2400)

  • Insert the plug of the connection lead into the plug socket with protective earth contact. When the refrigerator compartment door is opened, the internal lighting is switched on. After the fridge has been placed in position, wait for 5 minutes before electricity is supplied. Don’t store anything until the temperature inside the fridge becomes low enough.
  • The temperature selector knob is located on the right of the refrigerator compartment.

Setting O means Off.
Clockwise rotate the knob to turn on the appliance.
Setting 1 means:
Highest temperature, warmest setting.
Setting 7 (end-stop) means:
Lowest temperature, coldest setting.

IMPORTANT
Normally we advise you to select the setting of 2 or 3 Or 4, if you want the temperature higher or colder please turn the knob to warmer or colder settings accordingly. When
you turn the knob to colder which can lead to more energy efficiency- Otherwise, it would result in more energy-consuming.

IMPORTANT
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days) and a cold setting (position 6 to 7) may cause the compressor to run continuously or even non- stop!
Reason: when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance

ICE BOX MODELS (WIM1000 & WIM1200)

NOTE: The icebox compartment of the WIM1000 is recommended for only making ice, it is not for the storage of frozen food.

Making ice
To make ice cubes, fill the ice tray with water and place it in the icebox. To remove ice cubes easily, run water on the tray before gently twisting and inverting the tray.

Westinghouse Bar Fridges Fcooling plate fMaking ice

De-icing
The de-icing system for the fridge compartment is automatic in models WIM1200, and vertical fridges WRM1400 and WRM2400. The rear inside of the fridge is covered with frost when the compressor operates and de-ices when it stops. When the ice melts, the water evaporates automatically.
WIM1000 achieves its cooling from the icebox.

De-icing the icebox
The icebox compartment must always be de-iced when the layer of frost reaches a thickness of about 4mm. This compartment should be de-iced at least once a year
regardless of the thickness of the frost. Model WIM1000 has the added feature of a drip tray to collect the water.
When de-icing, a scraper or plastic utensil may be used.
Never use metal instruments or electrical appliances to de-ice the icebox.

  1. Switch off and disconnect the appliance from the electricity supply.

  2. Remove the plug from the drain (Model WIM1000 diagram below)
    Westinghouse Bar Fridges door diagram below

  3. Place a container underneath the drain hole to collect the water.

  4. To speed up the process, you can place a bowl of hot water inside the compartment and close the door.

  5. When de-icing is complete, clean the appliance before restoring the power.

INITIAL START-UP – FREEZER (WFM0900)

Your freezer was cleaned and polished before it left the factory. Before use, dust and wipe over inside and out using a clean dry cloth.

This product is designed to operate on a power supply of 220/240 volts 50Hz. Connect to a separate PowerPoint with a correctly earthed three-pin socket. Do not use double adaptors.

General Information
The freezer transfers heat from food placed inside to the outside air. This process makes the rear and sides of the outer cabinet feel warm to touch, particularly at the initial start-up. This is normal.

Make sure you fully close the freezer door after loading or removing food. If the door is left partly open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. Ensure that baskets or bins are pushed all the way in to prevent the door from being held open.

If the unit is unplugged, power lost, or turned off you must wait 5 minutes before restarting the unit. If you attempt to restart before this time delay, the freezer will not start.

Features and general hints

  • Try not to leave the door open for too long, especially in warm and humid climates.

  • It is recommended that you wrap all food in freezer bags.

  • Corned or pickled products (containing salts) must NOT be stored in the freezer unless thoroughly sealed. Salts cause metal oxidization.

  • In some circumstances (particularly after the recent opening and closing of the door) you may experience a heavier than normal resistance when opening the door. Should this occur wait for a minute or two between openings to stabilize the air pressure within the cabinet?

  • If going away for an extended period, turn your freezer off, remove all foods, and dry the interior thoroughly. Unplug the freezer from the electrical outlet and leave the door open.

  • If there is a power failure, do not open the door.
    Frozen foods will stay frozen for up to 24 hours depending on temperature and load conditions if the door is kept closed.

  • It is recommended that to ensure safe food storage,the freezer operates for 3 hours with the door closed before being stocked with food. It is also recommended that you wait until the following day before you purchase additional food, either frozen or unfrozen, to stock your freezer.

WARNING
Do not touch freezer shelf surfaces, particularly when hands are damp or wet. Extremely low temperatures may cause your hands to stick.

Controls
The temperature control is located on top of the front right-hand side of the cabinet on Model WFM0900.

Leave the control knob in the ‘Mid’ position for a trial period. The control setting can be adjusted if required by rotating the knob. Turn in a clockwise direction for colder temperatures. When the thermostat is turned to its lowest setting and past the point of resistance, the appliance will not operate.

Westinghouse Bar Fridges door diagram Controls

Defrosting
Your freezer should be defrosted when frost is approximately 6mm thick otherwise it will interfere with efficient operation and storage capacity. To ensure optimal hygiene and efficiency complete defrosting is recommended at least twice a year, preferably when food supply is low.

  • Switch off power to the freezer at the power outlet and remove the power supply plug from the electrical outlet.

  • Remove frozen food, wrap in newspaper, and place in a cardboard box or esky.

  • Leave the door open and wait for the frost to soften.
    Pans of hot water may be placed inside the freezer to speed up the defrosting process.

  • Place towels and a container to catch the water in the bottom of the freezer.

WARNING
On no account should an electric heater or hair dryer be used for defrosting the freezer.

CAUTION
Do not use a knife, metal scraper, or sharp-pointed tool or instrument to remove ice as they may cause damage to the lining of your freezer.

  • Scrape the softened frost off the walls of your freezer using a plastic scraper.
  • After defrosting is complete and all of the water has drained, wipe the freezer thoroughly with a damp cloth before drying thoroughly.
  • Reconnect the power cord to the electrical outlet and switch it on.
  • Replace the frozen food.

INITIAL START-UP – FREEZER (WFM1700)

The control panel that controls the temperature inside the freezer compartment is located inside the freezer.
Use your appliance according to the following control regulations, your appliance has the corresponding functions and modes as the control panel showed in the picture below. When the appliance is powered on for the first time, the backlighting of the icons on the display panel starts working. The doors are closed, the backlighting will turn off.

BEFORE CLEANING: Turn the refrigerator off at the PowerPoint and unplug the cord to prevent any chance of electrocuting yourself.

CAUTION

  • Doors and exterior (white & silver) You should only clean the doors with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.
  • Silver finish
    Your silver refrigerator is manufactured from mark-resistant silver metal look steel. This silver metal look steel has a special advanced protective coating that eases the removal of marks such as fingerprints and water spots. To keep its appearance, clean it regularly with lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth.

Never use stainless steel cleaners, abrasive pads, or other cleaners that will scratch the surface. Damage to the appliance after delivery is not covered by your warranty.
Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners, aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive cleaners, or scourers to clean your refrigerator.
Many commercially available cleaning products and detergents contain solvents that will damage your refrigerator. Use only a soft cloth with an unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
If your refrigerator has telescopic extension slides, simply wipe them with a damp cloth to clean them and never immerse them in water.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

PROBLEM SOLUTION
The refrigerator is not operating Check that the power cord is plugged into

the power outlet properly and that the outlet is switched ‘ON’.
Try running another appliance from the power outlet. If no power is coming from the outlet you may have blown a fuse or tripped a circuit of your household power supply.
Try adjusting the temperature control to a slightly “colder” position.
When there is a refrigerator/freezer noise|

Modern refrigerators/freezers with increased storage capacity use high-speed compressors. These can provide a seemingly high level of sound which is quite normal. Normal operational sounds include:

  • Occasional gurgling, similar to water boiling.

  • Airflow noise (air circulates because of a small fan).

  • A popping noise was heard during the automatic defrost.

  • A clicking noise is heard just before the compressor starts (this is just the automatic switching action of the temperature control, turning the compressor on or off).
    Other strange sounds may mean that you need to check and take action. For example, noises may mean that:

  • The cabinet is not level.

  • The floor is uneven or weak.

  • Bottles are badly placed and rattling.

  • There are vibrations from an object on top of or behind or beside the refrigerator.

  • The back of the refrigerator cabinet is touching the wall.
    Remember it is quite normal for noise to seem louder just after the refrigerator starts operating.

If heavy frosting occurs in the freezer| Make sure you fully close the freezer and fridge doors. If the doors are left open, a heavy frost will coat the inside of the freezer. If a frost develops, remove it and take care to properly close the doors.
If there are odors inside the refrigerator|

  • The interior may need cleaning.
  • Some foods produce odors.
  • Some containers and wrapping can cause odors.
  • Ask yourself if the odor started about the same time you started storing something unusual.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM SOLUTION
When the motor seems to run more than expected It is normal to frequently

hear the sound of the motor. However, to keep the operation to a minimum check the following:

  •  Are doors kept open too long or too often?
  • Are controls set too cold? See ‘Controls’ on page 12.
  • Have large amounts of warm food just recently been stored? Summer, festive seasons and holidays usually mean a lot more work for your refrigerator.
  • If the day is hot or the room is very warm, the refrigerator will need to run more than normal.
  • The refrigerator will run more than normal just after you install it or when it has been turned off for a long time.

If the temperature in the refrigerator is

too warm

|

  • Check that the appliance has enough clearance at the sides, back, and top. Refer to the installation instructions on page 8.
  • Refer to ‘Controls’ on page 12.
  • You may have kept the door open too long or too frequently.
  • Food containers or packaging may be holding a door open.

If the temperature in the refrigerator is

too cold

|

  • Refer to ‘Controls’ on page 12.
  • Increase the temperature to avoid high energy consumption.

If water drips on the floor| The defrost water tray, (located at the back or underneath the cabinet)may not be properly positioned, or the drain tube may not be properly positioned to direct water into this tray. You may need to pull the refrigerator away from the wall to check the tray and tube.
Ice build-up on freezer shelves| A freezer will normally build up ice in several places and will not affect the correct operation of the freezer. Over time when this build-up becomes inconvenient, it is necessary to manually defrost the product by switching the product off, removing any food, and cleaning the product as described under “DEFROSTING” on page 12.
Moisture on the inside rear surface of the refrigerator| The rear of the inside liner may, at times, appear frosty and wet. This is normal for refrigerators of this type and demonstrates that the product is functioning correctly, please refer to information on page 10.

If you still require service
If you have a problem, and the problem persists after you have made the checks mentioned above, contact your nearest approved Service Centre or the dealer you bought the refrigerator from. Be ready to quote the model number, 9-digit PNC and 8-digit serial number, which is stated on the label inside the refrigerator compartment.
