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.

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.

Figure 25

UL117

INITIAL START-UP

Once installation and leveling is complete, the unit is ready for initial start-up and operation.

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 position (press the switch to the right). 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 start-up period, the water will cascade evenly over the evaporator.

User’s Manual

Figure 26

UL118

Figure 27

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.

NOTE

The cycle selector switch is recessed behind the front grille. An opening is provided in the grille to access the switch (see Figure 27).

UL227

ADJUSTING ICE THICKNESS

The ice thickness control is set to automatically maintain an ice bridge of 0.16-0.32 cm (1/161/8 inch) thick. A dimple in each cube is normal (see Figure 28). If an adjustment is needed, perform the following steps:

Do not touch electrical wires. Disconnect power to the ice maker before making any ice thickness adjustments.

1. Disconnect power from the unit.

2. Remove front access panel (2 screws).

3. Locate the ice thickness adjustment dial on the control board (see Figure 29).

CARE AND CLEANING

EXTERIOR CLEANING

Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. We suggest the following:

Avoid the use of solvent cleaning agents, abrasives and all cleansers that may impart taste to the ice cubes. The exterior may be cleaned with non-abrasive cleansers as used on fine furniture.

CONDENSER CLEANING

Disconnect electric power to the ice maker before cleaning the condenser.

The condenser fins are SHARP. DO NOT run hands over condenser fins.

The front grille should be kept free of dust and lint to permit free air flow to the condenser (see Figure 30). The condenser coil, located behind the front grille and access panel, should be cleaned three to four times each year. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dirt, lint and other accumulations from the condenser coil. Clean from top to bottom, not side to side. Be careful not to bend the condenser fins.
