Cabinet
or Wall
24" Min.
The unit must be installed in a wall or under a counter-top to allow
for the installation of the Anti-Tip Kit (see Page 14).
Other Site Requirements
Power Supply
The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15A
circuit (normal household current). See Electrical Specifications.
Water Supply
The Anti-Tip Kit must be installed on this unit before it
is used. Never use the drawers as steps or as a shelf to
support more than the drawers’ contents. Serious
personal injury could occur.
The unit is designed so it can be installed next to a wall on either
side.
The unit requires a 1/4-inch OD water supply line and a shut-off
valve. For more information see Page 12.
Environmental Requirements
The units are designed to operate between 50°F (10°C) and 100°F
(37°C). High ambient temperatures (100°F [37°C] or higher) may
reduce the unit’s ability to reach low temperatures and may also
reduce the ice production rate for those models with icemakers.
If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F (7°C),
drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage, which is
not covered by the warranty.
For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away
from heat generating equipment.
For best performance and life outdoors, place under a counter or
provide shelter of some kind.
In climates where high humidity and dew points are present,
condensation may appear on outside surfaces. This is considered
normal. The condensation will evaporate when the humidity drops.
The drawer unit can be installed with an appliance or fixture
located in front of it, as long as there is adequate clearance for the
drawer to be opened and removed when servicing.
U-Line recommends you consider additional clearance in front of
the open drawer for convenience.

Checking Drawer Alignment
The unit’s drawers are aligned at the factory before shipment.
However, their alignment could have been disturbed during
shipment or during overlay panel installation. Check each drawer
to confirm that it is aligned:
Drawer adjustments are made by moving the slide that carries the
drawer’s rail. Minor adjustments may be made by loosening one of
the slide’s mounting screws, adjusting the slide and retightening the
screw. Severe adjustments may be made by removing the slides’
mounting screws, drilling new mounting holes and remounting the
slide.
Side-to-Side Adjustment
The drawer will need a Side-toSide Adjustment if, when viewed
from the top, the drawer front is
not square with the sides of the
cabinet. This is caused by one of
the slides being mounted too far
forward on the unit’s liner.
Minor Adjustment:
Note: The mounting holes on the
slide are slightly larger than the
screws’ diameter.
1. Loosen the slide’s mounting
screws.
• Side-to-Side — When viewed from the top, the drawer front
should be square with the sides of the cabinet.
• Front-to-Back — When viewed from the side, the drawer
front should be straight with the cabinet’s sides, not cocked
forward or back.
• Top-to-Bottom — When viewed from the front, the drawer
should be level horizontally.
Adjusting Drawer Alignment
SHOCK HAZARD — The unit must be unplugged from
the wall outlet during drawer removal, adjustment and
re-installation.

Plumbing installation must observe all state and local
codes. All water and drain connections MUST BE made by
a licensed/qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to follow
recommendations and instructions may result in damage
and/or harm.
Water Supply Connection
When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.
• Connect to the cold water supply.
• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.
• The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the 1/4” O.D.
supply line.
• Leave approximately 8’ of water line to be coiled behind the
appliance. The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This
will allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing.
However, make certain that the tubing is not pinched or
damaged during installation.
10 Level The Unit
Leveling Information
Note: It is recommended that the unit is level.
1. Use a level to check the
levelness of the unit
from front to back and
from side to side. Level
should be placed along
top edge and side edge
as shown (see Figure
24).
2. If the unit is not level,
adjust the feet on the
corners of the unit as
necessary.
3. Check the levelness
after each adjustment
and repeat the previous
steps until the unit is level.
U-Line requires the use of copper tubing, or U-Line water
line hook up kit (U-MPWATERHOOKUP) for installation.
Do not use any plastic water supply line. The line is under
pressure at all times. Plastic may crack or rupture with
age and cause water damage to your home.
To connect to water supply:
1. Locate the desired cold water
supply location. Attach a 1/4”
copper line to this location
and route the tubing to the
appliance. Leave
approximately 8’ of water line
to be coiled behind the
appliance. The water line
should be looped into 2 coils.
This will allow the line to flex
when removing the unit for
cleaning and servicing.
2. Locate the U-Line supplied garden
hose fitting. Ensure the end of the
copper tubing has been cut straight
and free of burrs. Slide the
compression nut and ferrule onto
the copper tubing as shown. Push
the assembly completely into the
garden hose fitting and tighten

If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cut-out opening,
adjust the rear feet to achieve a total unit rear height of 1/8" less
than the opening’s rear height. Shorten the unit height in the front
by adjusting the front feet. This allows the unit to be gently tipped
into the opening. Readjust the front feet to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.

Anti-Tip Kit Installation
• The Anti-Tip Kit must be installed on this unit before
it is used.
• Additional blocking or special fasteners may be
required for installation. Installer is responsible for
secure attachment to prevent the unit from tipping.
• Make sure the mounting screws attaching the unit to
the counter, cabinet or wall are deep enough into the
mounting surface to support the weight of the
drawers and the items that will be inside the drawers.
• Never use the drawers as steps or as a shelf to
support more than the drawers’ content. Serious
personal injury could occur.
After leveling, the unit must be secured to a counter, a cabinet or a
wall to prevent tipping.
1. Open the upper drawer to expose the six screws (A) installed
at the top two corners (three at each corner). Remove the
appropriate screws for horizontal or vertical mounting Do not
discard.
Make sure the screws are back far enough so they do not
damage any exposed front surface of the cabinet.
Installation Troubleshooting
The drawer remains open unless it is pushed closed.
The drawer should be self-closing when it is open approximately
8". If it is not, re-check leveling from front to back of the unit and
readjust if necessary.
Water is leaking under the unit (C2275DWR units)
A water leak under the unit is most likely caused by a bad
