PREPARE PLUMBING
The water valve uses a standard 1/4" (6.35 mm)
compression fitting. A 10' (3 m) braided flexible water
supply line is included with the unit.
WARNING
!
Prior to installation, determine if this product
contains a gravity style drain or factory installed
drain pump. Products without a drain pump may
only use a gravity style drain. Failure to connect
water supply or drain line connections properly
may result in water leakage, personal injury,
and/or property damage. Disconnect power and
turn off water to the unit before attempting to
alter these connections. These connections are
the responsibility of the owner and must be
connected per local plumbing code. If you are
uncertain of how to safely and properly install
this product, contact a licensed plumber.
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
Water Supply Connection
WARNING
!

DRAIN CONNECTION
CAUTION
!
If your U-Line unit did not come with a factory
installed drain pump you must use a gravity
style drain connection. For assistance in
determining if your unit has a pump please
contact U-Line. The floor drain must be large
enough to accommodate drainage from all
attached drains. 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, which may
result in personal injury or property damage.
GRAVITY DRAIN
A gravity drain may be used if:
Drain line has at least a 1" drop per 48" (approximately
2 cm drop per 100 cm) of run.
Drain line does not create traps and is vented per local
code.
1. Cut the pre-installed drain tube to length.
Drain can NOT be located directly below the unit.
Unit has a solid base that will not allow the unit
to drain below itself.
There is a possibility that hose connections may
have loosened during shipment.
Verify all connections and fittings are free from
leaks.
2. Connect to your local plumbing per the local code.
3. If necessary, insulate drain line to prevent
condensation.
CAUTION
!
Failure to connect water supply or drain line
connections properly can result in personal
injury and property damage. Gravity drain
connections must be routed downward from the
rest of the unit at the rate of 1/4" per foot (1 cm
per 50 cm).

FACTORY INSTALLED DRAIN PUMP
If your drain line will run up to a stand pipe, disposal or
spigot assembly, or does not otherwise meet the
requirements for a gravity drain, you may have ordered a
pre-installed U-Line P60 drain pump.
If you need to install a P60 drain pump into your unit, see
DRAIN PUMP section in the User Manual.
See below for typical installations requiring a drain pump.
Y-Branch Tailpiece
Waste
Wate
The maximum lift for the P60 drain pump is
10 feet. This must be done as close to the rear of
the unit as possible.
Door Swing
Units have a zero clearance for the door to open 90°,
when installed adjacent to cabinets.
Stainless Steel and black and white models require 2-1/8"
(54 mm) door clearance to accommodate the handle if
installed next to a wall.
Integrated models require 1/4" (6 mm) clearance if
installed next to a wall. Allow for additional space for any
knobs or pulls installed on the integrated panel/frame.

General Installation
LEVELING INFORMATION
1. Use a level to
confirm the unit is
level. Level should
be placed along top
edge and side edge
as shown.
1
2. If the unit is not level, adjust the legs on the corners of
the unit as necessary.
INSTALLATION
1. Plug in the power/electrical cord.
2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not to
entangle the cord or water and drain lines.
3. Re-check the leveling, from front to back and side to
side. Make any necessary adjustments. The unit’s top
surface should be approximately 1/8" (3 mm) below
the counter top.
4. Install the anti-tip bracket.
5. Remove interior packing material and wipe out the
inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.
Integrated Panel Installation
1. Fully open door/drawer.
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.
2. Starting at corner, pull
gasket away from door/
drawer.
3. Continue to pull gasket
free from gasket channel.
4. Upon removal, lay gasket
down on a flat surface.
5. Partially loosen the 3 screws, securing the top hinge to
the cabinet.
6. Align the panel with the outside edge (opposite the
hinge) and high enough to align with the highest point
in the door/drawer.
7. Insert panel underneath top hinge and apply upward
pressure while bringing the lower portion of the panel
flush to the door inside the lower hinge. The panel will
fit snuggly

ICE CUBE THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT
Ice thickness adjustment should only be made
one increment at a time. Allow ice maker
production to stabilize for 24 hours before
rechecking ice thickness.
Ice is produced in layers resulting in a clear cube. Ice in
bin may develop surface frost which disappears when cube
is placed in liquid.
Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary
to choose cubes from the sample area for comparison
when making adjustments.

SETTING
u-line.com
The ice cube thickness is factory set for best overall
performance. The factory setting is designed to maintain
an ice bridge of approximately 1/16" to 1/8" (1.6 mm to
3.2 mm) under normal conditions, resulting in a dimple of
approximately 1/4" to 1/2" (6.4 mm to 12.7 mm) in
depth. A fuller cube with less of a dimple results in a
thicker ice bridge. As the ice bridge becomes thicker, the
tendency for the cubes to stay together as a slab
increases. A bridge thicker than 1/8" (3.2 mm) may cause
cubes to overfill the ice bucket.
32 ice cubes are formed on a 4 x 8 slab during each cycle.
Each cycle takes approximately 15-20 minutes at the
default cube thickness (0).
Your clear ice machine is pre-set to produce ice between
the optimal dimensions illustrated below:
Ice thickness adjustments are made using the control
panel as follows:
1. To enter the thickness adjustment mode:
• Press and hold for 5 seconds.
• The display will switch to “0” to confirm the
thickness adjustment mode has been selected.
The factory setting is “0”. Use to raise the setting and
thicken the ice bridge, or to lower the setting to thin
the ice bridge.
Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary
to choose cubes from the sample area for comparison
when making adjustments.
