INSTALLATION
Prepare Plumbing
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
When connecting the water supply, follow these
guidelines:
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the
unit.
• Connect to the cold water supply.
• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.
• The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the 1/4”
O.D. supply line.
• Leave approximately 8’ of water line to be coiled
behind the appliance (Figure 1). The water line should
be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the unit to be
removed for cleaning and servicing. However, make
certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged
during installation.
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for
installation or using flexible water supply kit from
U-Line, Part No. WATERHOOKUP.
If using the flexible water supply kit, follow the
instructions included with the kit.
To connect to 1/4” copper line water supply:
1. Locate the desired cold water supply location. Attach a
1/4” copper line to this location and route the tubing
to the appliance. Leave approximately 8’ of water line
to be coiled behind the appliance. The water line
should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the line to
flex when removing the unit for cleaning and servicing
(Figure 1).
ULIN_S_165
Figure 1
2. Locate the U-Line supplied garden hose fitting. Ensure
the end of the copper tubing has been cut straight and
free of burrs. Slide the compression nut and ferrule
onto the copper tubing as shown (
Figure 2
). Push the
assembly completely into the the garden hose fitting
and tighten using the two wrenches. Wait to connect
this assembly to the appliance until the drain
connection is ready.

Drain Connection
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Drain can NOT be located directly below unit. Unit
has a solid base that will not allow unit to drain
below itself.
The CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 can be installed using a
Gravity Drain, a Factory-Installed Drain Pump (U-Line P60)
or a Locally-Installed (U-Line P60) Drain Pump. Drain lines
must have a 5/8” inside diameter. The floor drain must be
large enough to accommodate drainage from all attached
drains.
Note: We strongly recommend the use of the U-Line
CLRDRAINKIT for both gravity & pump installations.
Depending on your model, your unit may have been
packaged with this kit. A complete drain kit containing all
the items needed to connect your unit is available from
your dealer if your unit was not packaged with this. Order
Part No. U-CLRDRAINKIT.
Note: Longer drain connections may require additional
drain hose lengths. Additional drain line can be purchased
from your dealer or directly from McMaster-Carr.
(McMaster-Carr # 52375K35)
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
A Gravity Drain may be used if:
• Drain line has at least a 1-inch drop per 48 inches of
run (1/4 inch per foot).
• Drain line does not create traps or created traps are
vented (Figure 3).
If using a Gravity Drain:
1. Slide 2 hose clamps onto the drain connection on the
rear of the appliance.
2. Insert the barbed fitting halfway into this connection.
3. On the other end of this barbed fitting attach the 5/8”
braided tubing.
4. Slide a clamp on each side of the barbed fitting as
(Figure 5).

Factory-Installed Drain Pump
If your drain line will run up to a stand pipe, disposal
assembly or spigot assembly or does not otherwise meet
the requirements for a Gravity Drain, you may have
ordered the CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 with a U-Line P60
Drain Pump. See Figures 8, 9 and 10 for typical
installations requiring a Drain Pump. If you need to install
a P60 Drain Pump into your unit, see Locally-Installed
Drain Pump on Page 6.
4. Check that the clamps and hose connections are tight at
the following areas (
Figure 7
):
• Discharge tube (A)
• Drain tube (B)
• Vent tube (C)

IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
Before installing your U-Line CLR2160 or CLRCO2175
with Factory-Installed U-Line P60 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.
To check and test hose connections:
1. Make certain the unit is not plugged into an electrical
outlet.
2. Carefully push the power cord grommet through the
hole in the back panel (

5. Place a suitable container beneath the pump’s discharge
tube. (The bucket must be able to hold a minimum of
one gallon.)
6. Plug the ice maker power cord into a properly
grounded, polarized electrical outlet.
7. Place the unit into OFF mode by holding power key for
10 seconds. Not doing this will cause the unit to start
the fill cycle which will run for 3 minutes.
8. 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.
9. At this time, verify that all tube and clamp connections
are tight and leak-free.
10. Unplug unit power cord from electrical outlet.
11. Reinstall back panel.
Locally-Installed Drain Pump
If a gravity drain connection is not possible, and you have
not purchased a CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 with factoryinstalled pump, we strongly recommend the use of the
U-Line P60 drain pump. The U-Line P60 drain pump is
available through your Dealer, 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 1.5 gallons per
minute 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.
6 CLR2160, CLRCO2175
• 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).
IMPORTANTIMPORTANT
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.
