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.
CAUTION

Damages caused by ambient temperatures of
40°F (5°C) or below are not covered by the
warranty.
WARNING
!
Warning means that failure to follow this safety
statement could result in serious personal injury

Prior to installation, determine if this product
contains a gravity style drain or factory installed
drain pump. Products without a drain pump may
only use a gravity style drain. Failure to connect
water supply or drain line connections properly
may result in water leakage, personal injury,
and/or property damage. Disconnect power and
turn off water to the unit before attempting to
alter these connections. These connections are
the responsibility of the owner and must be

Route the water
supply line
through the unit
so it does not come into contact with any

Models ending in (-40A, -41A) will have the factory
installed drain pump.
DRAIN CONNECTION
CAUTION
!
If your U-Line unit did not come with a factory
installed drain pump you must use a gravity
style drain connection. For assistance in
determining if your unit has a pump please
contact U-Line. The floor drain must be large
enough to accommodate drainage from all
attached drains. Follow these guidelines when
installing drain lines to prevent water from
flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/
or potentially flowing onto the floor, which may
result in personal injury or property damage.

FACTORY INSTALLED DRAIN PUMP
If your drain line will run up to a stand pipe, disposal or
spigot assembly, or does not otherwise meet the
requirements for a gravity drain, you may have ordered a
pre-installed U-Line P60 drain pump.
A gravity drain may be used if:
Drain line has at least a 1" drop per 48" (approximately
2 cm drop per 100 cm) of run.
Drain line does not create traps and is vented per local
code.
1. Cut the pre-installed drain tube to length.
2. Connect to your local plumbing per the local code.

General Installation
LEVELING INFORMATION
1. Use a level to
confirm the unit is
level. Level should
be placed along top
edge and side edge
as shown.
1
2. If the unit is not level, adjust the feet on the corners of
the unit as necessary.
INSTALLATION
1. Open the water supply valve in the main water source.
2. Plug in the power cord.
3. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not to
kink the water supply line, the drain line, or entangle
the power cord.
4. Re-check the leveling, from front to back and side to
side. Make any necessary adjustments. The unit’s top
surface should be approximately 1/8" (3 mm) below
the countertop.
3. Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and
repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.
INSTALLATION TIP
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" (3 mm) 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.

ICE CUBE THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT
Ice thickness adjustment should only be made
one increment at a time. Allow ice maker
production to stabilize for 24 hours before
rechecking ice thickness.
Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary
to choose cubes from the sample area for comparison
when making adjustments.

Cube Types
u-line.com
The ice cube thickness is factory set for best overall
performance. The factory setting “0” is designed to
maintain an ice bridge of approximately 1/16" to 1/8"
(1.6 mm to 3.2 mm) under normal conditions, resulting in
a dimple of approximately 1/4" to 1/2" (6.4 mm to
12.7 mm) in depth. A fuller cube with less of a dimple
results in a thicker ice bridge. As the ice bridge becomes
thicker, the tendency for the cubes to stay together as a
slab increases. A bridge thicker than 1/8" (3.2 mm) may
cause cubes to overfill the ice bucket.
Adjust ice thickness as follows:
1. Press and hold for 5 seconds (display will show
current settings).
2. Press to make cube thicker or
to make cube
thinner.
The total range of adjustment is -5 (thinest) to +5
(thickest). If further adjustments are desired, repeat
steps 1 and 2.

To prepare the unit for the Sabbath:
1. Press and hold until the unit turns off.
2. No new ice will form when the unit is off, but previously
made ice will still be accessible/present for over 24
