Safety and Warning
NOTICE
Please read all instructions before installing,
operating, or servicing the appliance.
Use this appliance for its intended purpose only and follow
these general precautions with those listed throughout this
guide:
SAFETY ALERT DEFINITIONS
Throughout this guide are safety items labeled with a
Danger, Warning or Caution based on the risk type:
Danger means that failure to follow this safety
statement will result in severe personal injury or
death.
Environmental Requirements
This model is intended for indoor/interior applications only
and is not to be used in installations that are open/
exposed to natural elements.
This unit is designed to operate between 50°F (10°C) and
100°F (38°C). Higher ambient temperatures may reduce
the unit’s ability to reach low temperatures and/or reduce
ice production on applicable models.
For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight
and away from heat generating equipment.
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
!
Warning means that failure to follow this safety
statement could result in serious personal injury
or death.
Caution means that failure to follow this safety
statement may result in minor or moderate
personal injury, property or equipment damage.

Electrical
SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding
Required. Never attempt to repair or perform
maintenance on the unit until the electricity has
been disconnected.
Never remove the round grounding prong from
the plug and never use a two-prong grounding
adapter.
Altering, cutting or removing power cord,
removing power plug, or direct wiring can cause
serious injury, fire, loss of property and/or life,
and will void the warranty.
Never use an extension cord to connect power to
the unit.
Water Hookup
PREPARE PLUMBING
The water valve uses a standard 1/4" (6.35 mm)
compression fitting. U-Line recommends using accessory
water hook up kit – part # WATERHOOKUP. The kit
includes a 10' (3 m) braided flexible water supply line and
a brass hose fitting. When using a 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D.
soft copper supply line use the brass nut and sleeve
included with 220 - 240 V models.
CAUTION
!
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
Always keep your working area dry.
NOTICE
Electrical installation must observe all state and
local codes. This unit requires connection to a
grounded (three-prong), polarized receptacle
that has been placed by a qualified electrician.
The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC,
60 Hz, 15A power supply (normal household current). An
individual, properly grounded branch circuit or circuit
breaker is recommended. A GFCI (ground fault circuit
interrupter) is usually not required for fixed location
appliances and is not recommended for your unit because
it could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be sure
to consult your local codes.
When connecting the water supply, please note the
following:
• Before installing the unit and connecting to the cold
water supply, review the local plumbing codes.
• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi
(138 and 827 kPa).
• The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the
supply line.
• The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will
allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing.
Make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged
during installation.
WARNING
!
Connect to potable water supply only.

is under pressure at all times. Plastic may crack
or rupture with age and cause damage to your
home.
Do not use tape or joint compound when
attaching a braided flexible water supply line
that includes a rubber gasket. The gasket
provides an adequate seal – other materials
could cause blockage of the valve.
Failure to follow recommendations and
instructions may result in damage and/or harm,
flooding or void the product warranty.

the unit is level. Level
should be placed along
top edge and side edge
as shown.
INSTALLATION

LEVELING INFORMATION
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 cutout
opening, adjust the rear legs 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
legs. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the
opening. Readjust the front legs to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.
INSTALLATION
1. Plug in the power/electrical cord.
2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not to
kink the water supply line or entangle the cord.

not damage panel
finish upon removal.
10.Using a 7/64" (3 mm)
drill bit, drill 6 pilot
holes into the wood
panel 1/2" (12 mm)
deep using the holes in the door/drawer frame as a
guide.
It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are
drilled to the correct depth in order to avoid
splits in the wood when hardwood is installed.
11.Locate 6 of the #6 x 1-1/4" (32 mm) screws provided
with your unit.
12.Using a Phillips screwdriver, place one screw into each
of the 6 pilot holes and screw down. Do not over

First Use
All U-Line controls are preset at the factory. Initial startup
requires no adjustments.
NOTICE
U-Line recommends allowing the unit to run
overnight before loading with product.
U-Line recommends discarding the ice produced
during the first two to three hours of operation
to avoid possible dirt or scale that may dislodge
from the water line.
When plugged in, the unit will begin operating under the
factory default settings. If the unit was turned off during
installation, simply press and the unit will immediately
switch on. To turn the unit off, press and hold for 5
seconds and release.
To turn off ice production: Raise the bin arm into
an upright and locked position. The unit will preserve
temperature for ice storage.
NOTICE
If not intending to use the ice maker, turn the
water supply valve off. It is also important to
raise the bin arm of the ice maker (see above).
Failure to raise the bin arm may result in damage
to the water valve.
Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You
may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve,
or ice dropping into the ice bucket.
CAUTION
!
NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp
instrument to separate cubes. Shake the ice
bucket instead.
Ice
ICE MAKER OPERATION
When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will
shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue
to cool and maintain the ice supply.
NOTICE
Do not place cans or bottles in the ice
compartment because they will freeze.
During periods of limited use or high ambient
temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together.
Gently shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If not using
the ice maker regularly, empty the ice bucket periodically
to ensure fresh cubes.
It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. The cause is air
trapped in the water because of fast freezing. It is not
caused by the health, taste or chemical make up of the
water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you
drink.
Remove the ice bucket for emptying and cleaning. To
remove the ice bucket, raise the bin arm and remove the
bucket from the ice compartment. Use the ice bucket for
ice storage only.
