User’s Manual
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 causing water damage:
Gravity Drain
• Drain lines must have a 5/8" inside diameter.
• Drain lines must have a 1" drop per 48" of run (1/4" per foot) and
must not create traps.
• The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage
from all drains.
• Insulate the bin drain line to prevent condensation.
CLR2060 With Factory Installed Drain Pump

User’s Manual
CONNECTING A DRAIN PUMP
If a gravity drain connection is not available, and you have not purchased the CLR2060 with factory installed pump, we strongly recommend the use of the U-Line P60 drain pump. The U-Line P60 drain
pump is available through your Dealer, or direct from U-Line with complete installation instructions. If a pump other than the U-Line P60
drain pump is to be used, it must meet the following specifications:
• It must be UL listed and have a UL listed, 120 VAC, 3-wire grounded power cord.
• It must have overall maximum outside dimensions of 8-3/4" wide x
5-3/4" deep x 7-3/4" high.
• It must have a minimum flow rate of 15 gallons per hour at 10 feet
of lift.
• It must have a sealed sump which does not allow water leakage in
the case of a power outage, restricted drain or pump failure.
• It must have a check valve in the discharge line to prevent waste
water return to the pump.
• It must have an overflow protection control which will shut off power
to the ice maker in the event of a pump failure.
• It must have an operating temperature range of 50°F to 110°F
(10°C to 40°C).
CAUTION
In the event of a power outage, restricted drain or pump
failure, the failure to use the U-Line P60 drain pump or a
pump with the above listed specifications, could result in
substantial water leakage and pooling with severe and costly water damage and related consequential damages and
harm.
8
SITE PREPARATION
1. Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the
entire weight of the unit. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it is fully loaded.
It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not
level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling into the
storage area which will cause the ice in the bin to melt prematurely. Remember that floors near drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain.
2. The surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C) but
must not exceed 110°F (40°C).
3. The unit must not be located near heat-generating equipment or in
direct sunlight.
4. The unit must be located to allow clearance for water, drain and
electrical connections in the rear of the ice maker.
5. Connect the unit to its own grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60
Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current).
6. Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI). GFIs
are prone to nuisance tripping which will cause the unit to shut
down. GFIs are generally not used on circuits which power
equipment that must run unattended for long periods of time.
7. The unit must be installed according to your local codes and
ordinances.

1. Plug the appliance cord into a 115V polarized and grounded electrical outlet.
2. Open the water supply valve in the main water source.
3. Put the cycle selector switch in the ICE/ON position. The water fill
valve will energize and fill the water reservoir. The water fill valve
shuts off after 180 seconds. The compressor begins to operate
and water flows over the evaporator assembly (ice cube tray).
4. Upon initial start-up, water flow over the evaporator may be
uneven. This may cause uneven sized cubes or water spilling into
the ice storage bin. This is a normal situation and will correct itself
within the first twenty-four hours of operation. After the initial startup period, the water will cascade evenly over the evaporator.
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.
23
User’s Manual
NORMAL OPERATION
The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from most water sources
on a consistent basis. Water is constantly circulated over the evaporator assembly. As the water freezes, gravity causes any sediment to
drop into the water trough and not become imbedded in the ice. This
gives a clearer ice cube with a low mineral content.
When the ice reaches the desired thickness, it falls off the evaporator
and into the storage bin. The cycle is then repeated. When the level of
ice reaches the top of the storage bin the unit shuts off. As the ice level
in the bin drops the unit will automatically restart to keep the bin full.
Your unit’s ice production rate may vary depending on many considerations. Ambient air temperatures, water temperatures, condenser
cleanliness and ice-maker cleanliness are all contributing factors to how
quickly the unit produces ice.
Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear
the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, the water circulation
pump or ice dropping into the ice storage bin.
ICE CUBE THICKNESS
Your U-Line Clear Ice Maker uses advanced technology to make ice that
is crystal clear. This technology cascades a flow of water over a chilled
ice mold that is mounted vertically so no water sits in it. Because of
this ice making technology, clear ice cubes differ significantly from regular ice cubes. Differences are as follows:
• Dimples. U-Line clear ice
cubes have “dimples” on one
side from the cascading water
process.
• Cube Variations. Cubes
made from different batches,
or even cubes within the same
batch may have varying dimples, thicknesses and/or
sizes due to the cascading
water process.
• Cube “slabbing”. The U-Line
clear ice maker makes a “slab”
of ice that falls from the vertical mold relying on gravity to break the ice bridges. Depending on
the control setting, and the fullness of the ice bucket, it maybe necessary to tap the ice slab with the ice scoop to break it apart.

Dimples

ICE001
24
The ice cube thickness control is factory set for best overall performance. The factory setting is designed to maintain an ice bridge of
approximately 1/16" to 1/8" under normal conditions resulting in a
dimple of approximately 1/4" to 1/2" in depth (see Figure 28). 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" may cause cubes to overfill the ice bucket.

OUTDOOR USE
Some CLR2060 models are designed to operate outdoors. Special
considerations include the following:
• For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight.
•Turn the unit OFF and dispose of any ice cubes if the unit will not be
used for 5 days or more. Prop door open to allow for air circulation
and prevent mold and mildew.
• If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F, 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
ice production rate.

MAINTENANCE
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top
performance, and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based
on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have
pets, the unit is used outdoors, or other special considerations.
EXTERIOR CLEANING — AS REQUIRED
The door, grille and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and
warm water solution. Do not use solvent based or abrasive cleaners.
Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean
towel to prevent water spotting.
Stainless Steel Models
• Stainless steel models may discolor when exposed to chlorine gas,
pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach.
• Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a high quality,
all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. For best
results use Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be
purchased from U-Line Corporation. (Part number 173348/$7.99
plus shipping and handling.) Frequent cleaning will remove surface
contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations will require
cleaning on a weekly basis.
• DO NOT CLEAN WITH STEEL WOOL PADS.
• DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT ARE NOT SPECIFICALLY
INTENDED FOR STAINLESS STEEL (this includes glass, tile
and counter cleansers).
• If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-
Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Always
clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with
Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner to prevent further problems.
• USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS SCOTCHBRITE WILL
CAUSE THE GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO BECOME
BLURRED.
• Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the
stainless steel and become impossible to remove.
28
!
WARNING
CAUTION
Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and moisture, such as areas with spas or swimming pools, may have
some discoloration of the stainless steel. Discoloration
from chlorine gas is normal. Follow exterior cleaning
instructions.
INTERIOR CLEANING — AS REQUIRED
1. Disconnect power to the ice maker.
2. Open the door and remove any ice from the storage bin.
3. Wipe down the interior and storage bin with a solution of nonabrasive mild soap or detergent and warm water. Rinse with clean
water.
4. Sanitize the bin with a solution of 1 tablespoon of bleach in 1 gallon
of warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
5. Check that all drain connections are in place.
6. Reconnect power to the unit.
• DO NOT use solvent cleaning agents or abrasives on the
interior. These cleansers may transmit taste to the ice
cubes, or damage or discolor the interior.
• DO NOT use any cleaner inside the ice maker compart-
ment other than U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner. Other cleaners
may affect ice quality or damage the unit not covered
under warranty. See AUTOMATIC CLEAN CYCLE for
more information.
