GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT. Before you throw away your
old refrigerator or freezer, take off the doors and leave
shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

• Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the
unit until the electricity has been disconnected.

• Altering, cutting of power cord, removal of power cord,
removal of power plug, or direct wiring can cause serious
injury, fire and/or loss of property and/or life and will
void the warranty.

CAUTION

•Do not lift unit by door handle.

• Never use an ice pick or other sharp instrument to help

speed up defrosting. These instruments can puncture
the inner lining or damage cooling unit.

• Failure to clean the condenser every three months can

cause the unit to malfunction. This could void the
warranty.

• 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.

CAUTION

• DO NOT use any type of heater to defrost. Using a heater

to speed up defrosting can cause personal injury and
damage to the inner lining.

• Use only genuine U-Line replacement parts. Imitation

parts can reduce ice rate, cause water to overflow from
ice maker mold, damage the unit, and may void the war­ranty.

INSTALLATION

SITE PREPARATION

1. Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the
entire weight of the unit. Remember the unit will be significantly
heavier once it is fully loaded.

2. This unit requires grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60Hz, 15A
circuit (normal household current).

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.

3. The surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C) but
must not exceed 110°F (40°C).

4. The unit must not be located near heat-generating equipment or in
direct sunlight.

5. The unit must be located to allow clearance for water, drain and
electrical connections in the rear of the ice maker.

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.

WATER

CONNECTION

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY

On Ice Maker models BI 2015 and Combo 2075FF, install a 1/4 inch
outside diameter 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.

• The water pressure should be between 15 and 150 psi.

• Install a shut-off valve in the 1/4 inch outside diameter supply

line.

• Connect sufficient tubing to the unit to allow the unit to be

moved for cleaning and servicing. However, make certain that
the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation.

• U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for installation.

1. Locate the compression fit­ting and ferrule packed in the
unit. Slide the compression
fitting and ferrule over the
1/4 inch outside diameter
water supply line. Do not use

thread sealing compound or
tape. Using two wrenches,

tighten the compression fit­ting on the supply line (see
Figure 3).

UL134

Figure 3

2. Carefully bend the water supply
line into position and connect
the line to the solenoid valve
(see Figure 4). Avoid kinking
the water supply line.

Figure 4

8

3. For recessed installations,

UL002A

allow extra water supply line
length to provide slack for easy
removal from the recessed
area (see Figure 5). This will
also safeguard against kinking
the line.

CAUTION

If you are not intending to use
the ice maker and do not con­nect the water supply (or turn
the supply valve off), it is
imperative to raise the bin
arm of the ice maker (see
Figure 6). Failure to raise the
bin arm may result in damage
to the water valve.

WARNING

NORMAL OPERATION

On units with refrigerator sections, the unit has been designed to
achieve a fresh food temperature of approximately 38°F. Those units
with a freezer section are designed to have a freezer temperature of
approximately 0°F.

On units with ice makers, when the ice buck­et is full, the ice making mechanism will shut
off. However, the refrigeration system will
continue to cool and maintain the cube sup­ply. Frost free icemaker units have lower ice
production than manual defrost units.

Ice production may be interrupted by raising
the bin arm into an upright and locked posi­tion (the unit will maintain temperature for
ice storage, see Figure 22).

Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear
the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, sounds of defrost, or
ice dropping into the ice bucket.

Figure 22

UL002A

NEVER use an ice pick, knife, or other sharp instrument to
separate cubes. Shake the ice bucket instead.

The ice bucket MUST be fully inserted to avoid freezing products in the
refrigerator section of the Combo 2075FF.

During periods of limited usage or high ambient temperatures, it is
common for cubes to fuse together. Shake the bucket to break apart
cubes.

If ice maker is not used regularly, the ice bucket should be emptied peri­odically to ensure fresh cubes.

It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. This is caused by air being
trapped in the water due to fast freezing. It has nothing to do with the
health, taste or chemical make-up of the water. It is the same air that
is in every glass of water you drink.

18

The ice bin door must be fully closed with the door lip inside the ice
bucket.

Frost free models: Do not place any objects over air inlet or outlet in
freezer section.

For frost free models: Light frosting may occur in high humidity condi­tions or if the ice bucket is not pushed in completely.

BI 2015 is not frost free and must be defrosted periodically. Refer to
MAINTENANCE.

Do not place cans or bottles so they are touching the back of the unit.
If placed against the evaporator section, cans or bottles may freeze.

ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE

CONTROL

CONTROL KNOB

Series 2015 and 2075: Adjust

front grille (see Figure 23).

CHECKING TEMPERATURE

To accurately check the tem­perature, insert an accurate
thermometer into a plastic
(non-breakable) bottle, partial­ly filled with water. Tighten the
bottle cap securely (see
Figure 24).

Place the bottle in the desired
area for 24 hours. Refrain
from opening the unit during
the testing period. After 24
hours, check the temperature
of the water. Adjust the control

OUTDOOR & MARINE USE

Many U-Line models are designed to operate in harsh outdoor/marine
environments. Special considerations include the following:

• For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight.

• On Ice Maker models, 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

ability to reach low temperatures and may also reduce the ice pro­duction rate.

ADJUSTING ICE CUBE SIZE

On models equipped with an ice maker, the cube size may be adjusted
by changing the amount of water injected into the ice maker assembly.

1. Remove the ice maker assembly cover (see Figure 25).

2. Locate the adjusting screw on the ice maker assembly control box.
The adjusting screw is just below the minus (–) and plus (+) signs
on the control box (see Figure 26).

+–

UL122

Figure 25

Figure 26

3. Turn the adjusting screw toward the minus (–) sign (clockwise) for
smaller cubes or toward the plus (+) sign (counterclockwise) for
larger cubes.

4. Install the ice maker assembly cover.

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.

21

User’s Manual

• 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.

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.
