CAUTION

WARNING

CAUTION

WARNING

User’s Manual

• Never install the unit behind closed doors. Be sure front grille is free of obstruction. Obstructing free air flow can cause the unit to malfunction, and may void the warranty.

• Use only genuine U-Line replacement parts. Imitation parts can reduce ice rate, cause water to overflow from the ice maker, cause flooding, damage the unit and may void the warranty.

DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors, leave shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

DRAIN INSTALLATION

PLEASE READ all instructions completely before attempting to install or operate the unit. All Ice Makers require a connection to the water supply and improper hook-up can result in substantial property damage! 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.

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.

The CLR60 can be installed using a gravity drain or can use a factory installed or equivalent drain pump.

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 inch inside diameter.

• Drain lines must have a 1 inch drop per 48 inches of run (1/4 inch 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.

CLR60 With Factory Installed Drain Pump

NOTE

Before installing your U-Line CLR60 With Factory Installed Pump, it is extremely important to check and test all hose connections at the drain pump There is a possibility that hose connections may have loosened during shipment.

CAUTION

To prevent accidental electrocution, make certain that the floor surfaces surrounding the unit are dry whenever power is removed from, or applied to the unit.

Make certain the unit is not plugged into an electrical outlet.

Using a screwdriver, carefully push the power cord grommet through the hole in the back panel.

Using a screwdriver or 1/4"nut driver, remove 12 screws and back panel.

4. Check that the clamps and hose connections are tight at the fol-

lowing areas:

• Discharge tube (A)

• Drain tube (B)

• Vent tube (C)

5. Place a suitable container beneath the pump’s discharge tube.

(The bucket must be able to hold a minimum of one gallon.)

Back panel serves as a guard. DO NOT put your hands inside the ice maker cabinet or attempt to touch any components except the discharge tube during testing. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

6. Plug the ice maker power cord into a properly grounded, polarized

electrical outlet.

7. Verify pump operation by pouring one gallon of water into the ice

storage bin of the ice maker. The pump should energize and pump the water into the container.

8. At this time, verify that all tube and clamp connections are tight

and leak free.

9. Unplug unit power cord from electrical outlet.

10. Leave back panel off for water line installation.

11. Continue to the next step in the installation process, SITE PREPA-

RATION.

CONNECTING A DRAIN PUMP

Connecting A Drain Pump

If a gravity drain connection is not available, and you have not purchased the CLR60 with factory installed pump, install the U-Line P60

drain pump in the rear compartment of the ice maker. The U-Line P60 drain pump is available through your Dealer, or direct from U-Line with complete installation instructions.

If a gravity drain connection is not available, and you have not purchased the CLR60 with factory installed pump, U-Line strongly recommends the use of the U-Line P60 drain pump. 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.

WARNING

• Overall maximum outside dimensions of 8-3/4" wide x 5-3/4" deep x 7-3/4" high.

• 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.

• Operating temperature range of 50°F to 110°F (10°C to 40°C).

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.

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.

NOTE

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 a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz,

15A circuit (normal household current).

User’s Manual

6. Install a 1/4 inch copper water line (not supplied with unit) from

the nearest COLD water pipe. When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:

• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.

• In most instances, the cold water supply will come from the basement through a hole in the floor.

• The water pressure should be 20-120 psi.

NEVER use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.

Electrical Grounding Required. This appliance is equipped with a three prong (grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards.

Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug.

Never use a two-prong grounding adapter. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encoun-

tered, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced with a three-prong receptacle in accordance with applicable electrical codes.

WARNING

NOTE

Keep in mind that the door of the unit may be mounted on either side of the cabinet (see REVERSING THE DOOR). All U-Line units have a zero clearance for the door to open (see Figure 2).
