messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can

SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
Proper Disposal of
Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator
Suffocation Hazard
Remove doors or lid from your old freezer or
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death or brain damage.
IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems
of the past. Junked or abandoned freezers or refrigerators are still
dangerous.., even if they will sit for "just a few days." If you are
getting rid of your old refrigerator or freezer, please follow these
instructions to help prevent accidents.
Before You Throw Away Your Old Freezer or Refrigerator:
• Takeoff the doors or lid.
• Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily
climb inside.

INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install freezer.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Remove Packaging Materials
• Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning
on the freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over
the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm water and
dry.
• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable
fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These
products can damage the surface of your freezer. For more
information, see "Freezer Safety."
NOTE: This freezer may be installed side by side with another
refrigerator or freezer. Allow for a 3" (7.5 cm) clearance at the top
and sides and a 1/4"(0.64 cm) clearance between the appliances.
3" (7.5 cm)
When Moving "/our Freezer:
Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for
cleaning or service, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull
the freezer straight out when moving it. Do not wiggle or
"walk" the freezer when trying to move it, as floor damage
could occur.
Clean Before Using
After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside
of your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in
"Freezer Care."
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from freezer.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that
cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain. Do not use an
extension cord.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the freezer near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature will fall
below 40°F (5°C).
Check the strength of the floor before installing your freezer. It
should hold the weight of a freezer fully loaded with food.
Allow at least 3" (7.5 cm) of air space at the top and on both sides
of the freezer and 1" (2.5 cm) between the back of the freezer and
the wall. Ifthe freezer is to be against a wall, leave extra space on
the hinge side so the door can open wider.

Water Pressure
A cold water supply with water pressure of between 30 and
120 psi (207 to 827 kPa) is required to operate the water
dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about your water
pressure, see "Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified
plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to your
cold water supply, the water pressure to the system needs to be
a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).
If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than
40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa), a booster pump can be inserted
into the small tubing that goes from the cold water line to the
reverse osmosis system.
If the water dispenser is still not dispensing water properly:
• Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse
osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.
• Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill
after heavy usage.
• If your refrigerator has a water filter cartridge, it may further
reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a
reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.
See "Water Filtration System."
If you have questions about your water pressure, refer to
"Troubleshooting" or call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Connect to Water Line
1.
2.
3.
Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
Turn OFF main water supply. Turn ON nearest faucet long
enough to clear line of water.
Locate a 1/2"to 11/4"(12.7 mm to 3.18 cm) vertical cold water
pipe near the freezer.
IMPORTANT:
• Make sure it is a cold water pipe.
• Horizontal pipe will work, but drill on the top side of the
pipe, not the bottom. This will help keep water away from
the drill and normal sediment from collecting in the valve.
4. Determine the length of plastic tubing you need. Measure
from the connection on the lower left rear of freezer to the
water pipe. Add 7 ft (2.1 m) to allow for cleaning. Use 1/4"
(6.35 mm) O.D. (outside diameter) plastic tubing. Be sure
both ends of plastic tubing are cut square.
5. Using a grounded drill, drill a 1/4"(6.35 mm) hole in the cold
water pipe you have selected.

6. Fasten the shutoff valve to the cold water pipe with the pipe
clamp. Be sure the outlet end is solidly in the 1/4"(6.35 mm)
drilled hole in the water pipe and that the washer is under the
pipe clamp. Tighten the packing nut. Tighten the pipe clamp
screws slowly and evenly so washer makes a watertight seal.
Do not overtighten or you may crush the plastic tubing.
7. Slip the compression sleeve and compression nut on the
plastic tubing as shown. Insert the end of the tubing into the
outlet end squarely as far as it will go. Screw compression nut
onto outlet end with adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
8. Place the free end of the tubing in a container or sink, and
turn ON the main water supply. Flush the tubing until water is
clear. Turn OFF the shutoff valve on the water pipe. Coil the
plastic tubing.
Connect to Freezer

2.
Attach the plastic tube to the valve inlet using a compression
nut and sleeve as shown. Tighten the compression nut. Do
not overtighten. Use the tube clamp on the back of the
freezer to secure the tubing to the freezer as shown. This will
help avoid damage to the tubing when the freezer is pushed
back against the wall.
Turn shutoff valve ON. Check for leaks. Tighten any
connections (including connections at the valve) or nuts that
leak.

5. Repeat Step 4 until the doors close easily.
6. After freezer is fully loaded with food, recheck with level as in
Step 4.
FREEZERUSE
In order to ensure proper temperature, you need to permit proper
airflow in the freezer. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters
through the freezer wall and moves down. The air then
recirculates through the vent near the bottom.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents
are blocked, airflow will be obstructed, and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap
or cover foods tightly.
Turn the freezer temperature control to 4. This setting is designed
to maintain the temperature at or near 0°F (-17.8°C) under normal
operating conditions.
Allow the freezer to cool 6 to 8 hours before filling with frozen
food. Let the freezer cool overnight before adding large amounts
of unfrozen food. Never add more than 2 to 3 Ibs (907 to 1,350 g)
of unfrozen food per cubic foot (28.32 L) of freezer space.
NOTE: When the freezer is first started, the compressor will run
constantly until the freezer is cooled. It may take up to 6 or
8 hours (or longer), depending on room temperature and the
number of times the freezer door is opened. After the freezer is
cooled, the compressor will turn on and off as needed to keep
the freezer at the proper temperature.
The outside of your freezer may feel warm. This is normal. The
freezer's design and main function is to remove heat from
packages and air space inside the freezer. The heat is transferred
to the room air, making the outside of the freezer feel warm.
Adjusting Control
• Turn control to a higher number for colder temperatures.
• Turn control to a lower number for less cold temperatures.
NOTE: The small snowflake icon represents the number 1 or
the least cold setting. The large snowflake icon represents 6
or the coldest setting.
Fast Freeze (on some models) _.
This setting causes the freezer to run continuously, driving the
freezer temperature to the coldest possible temperature. To
activate, adjust the control knob to the igloo icon, which
represents the fast freeze setting. Use this feature just before
adding large amounts of unfrozen foods. For best food quality, do
not exceed 3 Ibs (1,350 g) per cubic foot (28.32 L). Return to your
normal setting after 24 to 48 hours.

Door Ajar Alarm (on some models)
The door ajar monitor alarm is located to the left of the
temperature control and sounds an audible alarm if either door is
open for more than five minutes.
The alarm is controlled by a three position switch.
I
0
The proper setting for normal freezer use. The alarm
is on.
The alarm is off.
Tests the alarm.
The indicator light assures you that your freezer is running. If the
indicator light is not glowing, immediately check for:
• Power interruption.
• An unplugged power cord.
• An open circuit breaker or blown fuse.
• A burned out indicator light.
NOTE: The ice maker kit must be purchased separately from
your authorized Whirlpool dealer. Ice maker kit part number is
ECKM F94.
To Turn the Ice Maker On/Off
NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.
• To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.
NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is
made, the ice cubes fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes
will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position.
• To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to
the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure
the ice maker will not continue to operate.
Shut Off Arm
When installing the ice maker kit, part number ECKMF94, it is
necessary to replace the shut off arm that is included with the kit,
with the longer one supplied with the freezer.
Portable Ice Bin
The ice bin may be used as a storage container or a portable ice
bucket.
The lid must be open when used as an ice bin.
Close the lid to use as a portable ice bucket or storage container.
Ice Production Rate
The ice maker should produce approximately 7 to 9 batches of
ice in a 24-hour period. If ice is not being made fast enough, turn
the Temperature Control toward a higher (colder) number in half
number steps. (For example, if the control is at 3, move it to
between 3 and 4.) Wait 24 hours and, if necessary, gradually turn
the Temperature Control to the highest setting, waiting 24 hours
between each increase.
Remember
• Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. Discard the
first three batches of ice produced.
• The quality of your ice will be only as good as the quality of
the water supplied to your ice maker. Avoid connecting the
ice maker to a softened water supply. Water softener
chemicals (such as salt) can damage parts of the ice maker
and lead to poor quality ice. If a softened water supply cannot
be avoided, make sure the water softener is operating
properly and is well maintained.
• Do not store anything on top of the ice maker or in the ice
storage bin.
10

FREEZERFEATURES
This manual covers several different models. The freezer you
have purchased may have some or all of the items listed. The
locations of the features may not match those of your model.
Store similar foods together and adjust the shelves to fit different
heights. This reduces the time the refrigerator door is open and
saves energy.
To remove and replace a shelf:
1. Remove the shelf by pulling it forward slightly to align the
shelf stops with the openings in the refrigerator compartment
liner. Lift straight up, and pull the shelf out the rest of the way.
• Replace the shelf by lowering the shelf stops through the
openings in the refrigerator compartment liner. Slide the shelf
in the rest of the way.
To remove and replace the bin:
1. Remove the bin by tipping the front of the bin up and sliding
out.
2. Replace the bin by sliding it in above the desired support
tilting it back into place.
The slide out bin provides separate storage space for items that
are difficult to store on freezer shelves.
To extend the bin fully, lift up and slide forward. To remove the
basket slide out.

FREEZERCARE
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Frost-free means that you will never have to defrost your freezer.
Frost is removed by air moving and collecting any moisture and
depositing it on the cooling coil. The cooling coil periodically
warms up just enough to melt the frost, and it then flows down to
the drain pan (located behind the base grille) where it is
evaporated.
Complete cleaning should be done at least once ayear.
1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2. Remove all frozen food. Wrap frozen food in several layers of
newspaper and cover with a blanket. Food will stay frozen for
several hours. You may also store frozen food in a cooler,
additional refrigerator-freezer, or in a cool area.
3. Wash the inside walls with a solution of mild detergent in
warm water or 2 tbs (26 mg) baking soda to 1 qt (0.95 L)
warm water.
• Do not use abrasive or harsh cleaners such as window
sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning
waxes, concentrated detergents, bleaches or cleansers
containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior
and door liners or gaskets. Do not use paper towels,
scouring pads, or other harsh cleaning tools. These can
scratch or damage materials.
4. Rinse well and wipe dry with a clean soft cloth.
5. Use the appropriate cleaning method for your exterior finish.
Painted metal: Wash exteriors with a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive
or harsh cleaners, or cleaners designed for stainless steel.
Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For additional protection
against damage to painted metal exteriors, apply appliance
wax (or auto paste wax) with a clean, soft cloth. Do not wax
plastic parts.
Stainless steel finish: Wash with a clean sponge or soft
cloth and a mild detergent in warm water. Do not use abrasive
or harsh cleaners. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
• To keep your stainless steel refrigerator looking like new
and to remove minor scuffs or marks, it is suggested that
you use the manufacturer's approved Stainless Steel
Cleaner & Polish.
IMPORTANT: This cleaner is for stainless steel parts only!
Do not allow the Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish to come
into contact with any plastic parts such as the trim
pieces, dispenser covers or door gaskets. If accidental
contact does occur, clean plastic part with a sponge and
mild detergent in warm water. Dry thoroughly with a soft
cloth.
6. Replace all frozen food.
7. Plug in freezer or reconnect power.
8. See "Using the Control."
To Remove and Replace the Base Grille:
1. Open the freezer door and remove the base grille by pulling
down and out from the top.
2. Replace the base grille by putting the clips in the openings in
the refrigerator panel. Push in until the base grille snaps into
place.
NOTE: Not all appliance bulbs will fit your freezer. Be sure to
replace the bulb with one of the same size, shape, and wattage.
Style 1
1. Unplug freezer or disconnect power.
2. Replace the light bulb with an appliance bulb of the same
wattage.
3. Plug in freezer or reconnect power.

If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep the door closed
to help food stay cold and frozen.
If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, do one of the
following:
• Remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker.
• If a food locker is not available, consume or can perishable
food at once.
After the power is restored, unplug the freezer for 30 minutes, to
allow the refrigeration system to equalize. During this time keep
the door closed whenever possible.
REMEMBER: A full freezer stays cold longer than a partially filled
one. A freezer full of meat stays cold longer than a freezer full of
baked goods. If you see that food contains ice crystals, it may be
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the
condition of the food is poor, dispose of it.
1. Remove all frozen food.
2. Unplug the freezer.
3. Clean it thoroughly.
4. Tape the freezer shut and tape the electrical cord to the
cabinet.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
•Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
•Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
• Is the Temperature Control turned to the OFF position?
See "Using the Control."
• Is the freezer defrosting (on some models)? Recheck to
see whether the freezer is operating in 30 minutes. Your
freezer will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into agrounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
•Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
• Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See
"Changing the Light Bulb."
There is water in the defrost drain pan (on some models)
•Is the freezer defrosting? The water will evaporate. It is
normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
• Is it more humid than normal? When it is humid, expect that
the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.
13

The motor seems to run too much
•Is there excessive frost or a package keeping the door
from closing? Defrost and clean the freezer, or move the
package so the door closes properly.
• Is the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor
will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room
temperatures, your motor will run about 40% to 80% of the
time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.
Has a large amount of food just been added to the
freezer? Adding a large amount of food warms the freezer.
The motor normally will run longer to cool the freezer back
down.
•Is the door opened often? The motor will run longer when
this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at one
time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon
as possible.
•Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
•Is the door or not closed completely? Push the door firmly
shut. If it will not shut all the way, see "The door will not close
completely" later in this section.
•Are the condenser coils dirty (on some models)? This
obstructs air transfer and makes the motor work harder.
Clean the condenser coils. See "Freezer Care."
Is the door gasket sealed all the way around? Contact a
qualified person or a technician.
Is there enough air circulation space around the freezer?
See "Location Requirements."
NOTE: If the problem is not due to any of the above,
remember that your new freezer will run longer than your old
one due to its high-efficiency motor.
The ice maker is not producing ice or not enough ice
(on some models)
•Has the ice maker just been installed? Wait 72 hours for full
ice production to begin. Once your freezer is cooled, the ice
maker should produce 70-120 cubes every 24 hours.
• Is the freezer temperature cold enough to produce ice?
Wait 24 hours after hookup for ice production. See "Using the
Control."
Is the wire shutoff arm in the OFF (arm up) position?
Lower the wire shutoff arm to the ON (arm down) position.
See "Ice Maker."
•Is the water line shutoff valve to the freezer turned on?
Turn on the water valve. See "Connect the Water Supply."
•Does the ice maker mold have water in it or has no ice
been produced? Be sure your freezer has been connected to
a water supply and the supply shutoff valve is turned on. See
"Connect the Water Supply."
• Is an ice cube jammed in the ejector arm? Remove the ice
from the ejector arm with a plastic utensil. See "Ice Maker."
•Has a large amount of ice just been removed? Allow
24 hours for ice maker to produce more ice.
• Is the control set correctly? If too little ice is produced, see
"Using the Control."
NOTE: If not due to any of the above, there may be a problem
with the water line. Call for service.
Off-taste, odor or gray color in the ice (on some models)
•Are the plumbing connections new, causing discolored or
off-flavored ice? Discard the first few batches of ice.
•Have the ice cubes been stored too long? Throw old ice
away and make a new supply.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
•Do the freezer and ice bin need to be cleaned? See
"Freezer Care."
•Does the water contain minerals (such as sulfur)? A filter
may need to be installed to remove the minerals.
14

Temperature is too warm
•Are the air vents blocked? This obstructs cold air
movement. Move objects away from the air vents. See
"Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" for air vent locations.
• Is the door opened often? Be aware that the freezer will
warm when this occurs. In order to keep the freezer cool, try
to get everything you need out of the freezer at once, keep
food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as
soon as the food is removed.
•Has a large amount of food just been added to the
freezer? Adding a large amount of food warms the freezer. It
can take several hours for the freezer to return to the normal
temperature.
•Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
The door will not close completely or is difficult to open
•Are food packages blocking the door ? Rearrange
containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less
space.
•Are the shelves and basket out of position (on some
models)? Put the shelves and basket back into their correct
positions.
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

Risque de choc _[ectrique
Brancher sur une prise a 3 alv_oles reii_e ala terre.
Ne pas enlever la broche de liaison ala terre.
Ne pas utiliser un adaptateur.
Ne pas utiliser un cfibie de rallonge.
Le non=respect de ces instructions peut causer
un d_c_s, un incendie ou un choc _[ectrique.
M_thode recommand_e de mise _la terre
Une source de courant electrique de 115 V,60 Hz, CA seulement,
et protegee par fusible de 15 ou 20 amperes, adequatement mise
& la terre est necessaire. II est recommande d'utiliser un circuit
distinct pour alimenter uniquement le congelateur. Utiliser une
prise de courant murale qui ne peut pas _tre mise hors circuit &
I'aide d'un commutateur ou d'une chafne. Ne pas employer un
cfble de rallonge.
IMPORTANT : Ne pas installer le congelateur pres d'un four, d'un
radiateur ou d'une autre source de chaleur, ni dans un endroit oQ
la temperature baissera au-dessous de 40°F (5°C).
Verifier la solidite du plancher avant d'installer le congelateur. Le
plancher dolt supporter le poids d'un congelateur entierement
rempli d'aliments.
18

Lire attentivement toutes les instructions avant de commencer.
IMPORTANT:
• Si on doit utiliser le congelateur avant qu'il soit raccorde &la
canalisation d'eau, placer la commande de la machine
glagons a la position d'arr_t (OFF).
• Toutes les installations doivent _tre conformes aux exigences
des codes Iocaux de plomberie.
• Utiliser un tube en plastique et verifier s'il y a des fuites.
Installer les tubes en plastique seulement a des endroits oQla
temperature se maintient au-dessus du point de congelation.
OUTILS REQUlS : Un tournevis & lame plate, cles plates de 7/16"
et V2"ou deux cles a molette reglables, tourne-ecrou et foret de
V4", perceuse manuelle ou electrique (convenablement reliee a la
terre).
REMARQUE •Votre marchand de congelateurs presente une
trousse disponible avec un robinet d'arr_t a etrier de V4"
(6,35 mm), un raccord et un tube en plastique. Avant I'achat,
s'assurer que le robinet d'arr_t a etrier est conforme a vos codes
Iocaux de plomberie. Ne pas employer de robinet d'arr_t a etrier
de 3/le"(4,76 mm) ou de type a percer, ce qui reduit le debit d'eau
et cause une obstruction plus facilement.
Pression de I'eau
Une alimentation en eau froide avec une pression entre 30 et
120 Ib/po _(207 et 827 kPa) est necessaire pour faire fonctionner
le distributeur d'eau et la machine & glagons. Si vous avez des
questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau consulter
"Depannage" ou faire appel & un plombier qualifie agre&
Alimentation en eau par osmose inverse
Si un systeme de purification de I'eau par osmose inverse est
raccorde a votre alimentation en eau froide, la pression de I'eau
au systeme doit _tre d'un minimum de 40 a 60 Ib/po _
(276 a 414 kPa).
Si la pression de I'eau au systeme d'osmose inverse est
inferieure & 40 a 60 Ib/po _(276 a 414 kPa), une pompe de
surpression peut _tre inseree dans le petit tube qui va de la
canalisation d'eau froide au systeme d'osmose inverse.
Si le distributeur d'eau ne distribue toujours pas d'eau au debit
approprie :
• Verifier pour voir si le filtre du systeme d'osmose inverse est
bloque et le remplacer si necessaire.
• Laisser le reservoir du systeme d'osmose inverse se remplir
apr_s une utilisation intense.
• Si votre refrigerateur a une cartouche de filtre & eau, celle-ci
peut red@re encore plus la pression de I'eau Iorsqu'elle est
utilisee avec un systeme d'osmose inverse. Retirer la
cartouche du filtre & eau. Voir "Systeme de filtration d'eau".
Si vous avez des questions au sujet de la pression de votre eau,
consulter "Depannage" ou appeler un plombier qualifie agre&
Raccordement &une canalisation d'eau :
1. Debrancher le congelateur ou deconnecter la source de
courant electrique.
2. FERMER le robinet principal d'arrivee d'eau. OUVRIR le
robinet de puisage le plus proche pendant une periode
suffisante pour que la canalisation d'eau se vide.
3. Trouver une canalisation d'eau froide verticale de
V_"&1V4" (12,7 mm &3,18 cm) pros du congelateur.
IMPORTANT :
Assurez-vous qu'il s'agit d'un conduit d'eau froide.
Un conduit horizontal fonctionnera, mais percer par le
dessus de la canalisation et non pas par le dessous.
Ainsi, I'eau ne risquera pas d'arroser la perceuse. Ceci
emp_che egalement les sediments qu'on trouve
normalement dans I'eau de s'accumuler dans le robinet
d'arr_t.
4. Pour determiner la Iongueur du tube en plastique, il faut
mesurer la distance entre le point de connexion inferieur
gauche a I'arriere du congelateur et le tuyau d'arrivee d'eau.
Ajouter une Iongueur de 7 pi (2,1 m) pour permettre le
deplacement du congelateur pour le nettoyage. Utiliser un
tube en plastique de V4"(6,35 mm) de diam_tre exterieur.
Veiller ace que le tube soit coupe d'equerre aux deux
extremites.
5. A I'aide d'une perceuse electrique reliee a la terre, percer un
trou de V4"dans le tuyau de canalisation d'eau froide choisi.
A. Canalisation d'eau froide
B. Bride de tuyau
C. Tube en cuivre
D. E-crou de compression
E. Bague de compression
F. Robinet d'arr_t
G. Ecrou de serrage
6. Fixer le robinet d'arr_t sur la canalisation d'eau froide avec la
bride de tuyau. Verifier que le raccord du robinet est bien
engage dans le trou de V4"perce dans la canalisation et que
la rondelle d'etancheite est placee sous la bride de tuyau.
Serrer I'ecrou de serrage sur la tige du robinet. Serrer
lentement et uniformement les vis fixant la bride de tuyau sur
la tuyauterie afin que la rondelle forme une jonction etanche.
Ne pas serrer excessivement car ceci pourrait provoquer
I'ecrasement du tube en plastique.
7. Enfiler I'ecrou et la bague de compression du raccord sur le
tube en plastique comme on le voit sur I'illustration. Inserer
I'extremite du tube aussi loin que possible dans I'ouverture
de sortie du robinet. Visser I'ecrou du raccord de
compression sur le raccord de sortie avec une cle a molette.
Ne pas serrer excessivement.
8. Placer le bout libre du tube dans un contenant ou evier et
OUVRIR le robinet principal d'arrivee d'eau et laisser I'eau
s'ecouler par le tube jusqu'& ce que I'eau soit limpide.
FERMER le robinet principal d'arrivee d'eau. Enrouler le tube
en plastique.
19

Raccordement au cong_lateur :
1. Connecter le tube en plastique au robinet d'eau en utilisant
un ecrou et une bague de compression tel qu'illustr& Serrer
I'ecrou de compression. Ne pas serrer excessivement.
Utiliser la bride du tube &I'arriere du congelateur pour fixer le
tube au congelateur tel qu'illustr& Ceci aidera & eviter les
dommages au tube Iorsque le congelateur est pousse contre
lemur.
2. OUVRIR le robinet d'arret. Inspecter pour rechercher les
fuites. Serrer tousles raccords (y compris les raccordements
de la valve d'entree d'eau) ou les ecrous qui coulent.
A.Bride du tube C.Ecrou de compression
B. Tubeen plastique D.Entree d'eau de la valve

Si la qualite de I'eau distribuee Iocalement necessite un
deuxieme filtre & eau, il serait utile de I'installer dans le tube
de raccordement de 1/4"(6,35 mm). On peut obtenir un tel
filtre & eau chez le marchand d'appareils electromenagers le
plus proche.
