5 Operation
ULIN_0130_A |
Figure 2
IMPORTANT
Proper air flow (Figure 2) is required for your unit to operate at its highest efficiently. A grille, located in the base of the unit, must not be blocked at any time, or your unit will not perform as expected.
Initial Startup
All U-Line units are shipped with controls that are preset. No initial adjustments are required.
IMPORTANT
•U-Line recommends the unit be allowed to run overnight prior to loading the refrigerator and/or freezer with product.
•On ice maker equipped units, it is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water line. Always throw away all ice cubes made during the first two to three hours of operation.

Temperature Control
Checking Product Temperature
ULIN_0093_A
Figure 4
To check the actual product temperature, in refrigerator section only, insert an accurate thermometer into a plastic (non-breakable) bottle that is partially filled with water.
Tighten the bottle cap securely (Figure 4).
Place the bottle in the refrigerator area for 24 hours. Refrain from opening the unit during the testing period. After 24 hours, check the temperature of the water. If required, adjust the temperature control in a small increment (See ADJUSTING TEMPERATURE).
Factors which affect the internal temperatures of the cabinet include:
•Temperature setting.
•Ambient temperature where installed.
•Number of times and length of time the door is opened and closed.
•Installation in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
Adjusting Temperature
1
ULIN_0014_A
Figure 5
Adjust the temperature by turning the numbered dial (Figure 5, 1) in small increments.
Ice Maker
When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue to cool and maintain the cube supply. Frost-free icemaker units have lower ice production than manual defrost units.
IMPORTANT
Do not place cans or bottles in the ice compartment because they will freeze.
ULIN_0087_A |
Figure 6
Ice production may be interrupted by raising the bin arm into an upright and locked position (Figure 6). The unit will maintain temperature for ice storage.
IMPORTANT
If you are not intending to use the ice maker and turn the supply valve off, it is imperative to raise the bin arm of the ice maker (Figure 6). Failure to raise the bin arm may result in damage to the water valve.
Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, or ice dropping into the ice bucket.
WARNING
NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument to separate cubes. Shake the ice bucket instead.
During periods of limited usage or high ambient temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together. Shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If the ice maker is not used regularly, the ice bucket should be emptied periodically to ensure fresh cubes.
It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. This is caused by air being trapped in the water due to fast freezing. It has nothing to do with the health, taste or chemical make-up of the water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you drink.
CO29, CO75 |

The ice bucket can be removed for emptying and cleaning. To remove the ice bucket, raise the bin arm and remove the bucket from the ice compartment. Use the ice bucket for ice storage only.
Normal Operating Sounds
All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. In spite of this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar.
Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets, wood/vinyl/tiled floors and paneled walls have a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.
Common refrigeration components, and a brief description of the normal operating sounds they make, are listed below. NOTE: Your product may not contain all of the components listed.
•Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing sound that may be heard when it operates.
•Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator may sound like boiling liquid.
•Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be heard.
•Automatic Defrost/Drain Pan: Water may be heard dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is in the defrost cycle.
•Automatic Ice Maker: You will hear ice as it drops from the mold into the ice bin/tray.
•Water Valve: After an ice maker completes a cycle, a water valve will make a buzzing sound and running water may be briefly heard.
Outdoor, Marine and RV Usage
Some U-Line models are designed to operate in outdoor, marine and RV environments. For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight.
•If the unit will be shut off for five days or more, prop door open to allow for air circulation and prevent mold and mildew.
IMPORTANT
If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F, turn off and unplug unit, and drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the warranty.
•High ambient temperatures (110°F or higher) may reduce the unit's ability to reach low temperatures.
Storage, Vacation, Moving
If the unit will not be used for an extended period, or otherwise stored, follow these steps completely:
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before servicing. Before operating, replace all panels. Failure to do so may result in death or electrical shock.
1.Remove all consumable contents from the unit.
2.Disconnect power to the unit.
3.Shut off water supply to the unit at the main water source.
IMPORTANT
•If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F, turn off and unplug unit, and drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the warranty.
•The use of anti-freeze or other products of this nature is not necessary and is not recommended.
4.Disconnect the water valve inlet and outlet lines, and allow them to drain completely.
5.Reconnect power to the unit, and allow it to run for one hour (minimum) until any remaining ice has been ejected from the ice maker assembly.
6.Disconnect power to the unit, dry any remaining water from the ice maker assembly, and reconnect any lines removed from the water supply valve.
7.Disconnect the power cord from its outlet, and leave it disconnected until the unit is returned to service.
8.Clean and dry the interior of the cabinet (See CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE: GENERAL CLEANING).
9.During periods of non-use, the cabinet must remain open to prevent the formation of mold and mildew. Open door a minimum of 2" (5 cm) to provide the necessary ventilation.
