which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION
!
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
!
WARNING
DANGER
! !
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.
• The anti-tip kit must be installed on these units if they are
built-in and before it is used. Never use the wine racks or
shelves as steps or a shelf to support more than their
content.
CAUTION
• Do not lift unit by door handle.
• Use care when moving the unit. Some edges are sharp
and may cause personal injury. Wear gloves when moving or positioning the unit.
• 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.
• Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before
use.
• 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.

User’s Manual
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)
CAUTION
• Using a heater to speed up defrosting can damage the
inner lining. DO NOT use any type of electrical heater to
defrost.
• 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
Your U-Line product is designed to be installed in a wall or under a
counter or freestanding.
NOTE
The 75 BEV must be ordered for right or left hand door. The
75 BEV doors are not reversible. Any reference to reversing the door, does not apply to the 75 BEV.
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.
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 when applicable.
5. Connect the unit to its own grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60
Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current).
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.

DANGER
! !
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
Electrical Grounding Required. This appliance
is equipped with a three prong (grounding)
polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards. It must be plugged into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
• NEVER remove the round grounding prong from the plug.
• NEVER use a two-prong grounding adapter.
• NEVER use an extension cord to connect power to the
unit.
Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered or a
longer power cord is required, contact a qualified electrician
to have it replaced in accordance with applicable electrical
codes.
8. Connect the water supply line. See CONNECTING THE WATER
SUPPLY for installation requirements.
These U-Line products are designed so they can be installed next to a
wall on either side (Figure 1).

NOTE
Keep in mind that the door of the unit may be mounted on
either side of the cabinet (see REVERSING THE DOOR)
except for the 75 BEV. All U-Line units have a zero clearance for the door to open when the hinge is on the right,
except for Stainless Steel Doors.
Additional clearance is needed for the Combo Models 29A,
29FF, and 75A only when the door hinge is on the left. See
built-in installation for additional clearance requirements for
these models.
Allow extra clearance, on hinge side, for a 90° door opening
when installed against a wall on all Stainless Steel
models.
U-Line recommends you consider additional clearance in front of the
open door for convenience.
9. Position the unit to allow free air flow through the front grille
(Figure 2).

10. Carefully remove the grille, the glass shelves and the wine racks
from inside the unit and wipe inside of unit with a clean, water
dampened cloth only.

User’s Manual
LEVELING THE UNIT
It is important that these units, primarily the ice maker assembly and
75 BEV are level. All 75 and 15 Series units are equipped with
adjustable feet for leveling and height adjustment (Figure 3). All other
units have rubber feet.
To level units with adjustable feet:
1. Adjust all four leveling feet evenly so that the top of the cabinet is
at the desired installation height and level.
2. Using a level of at least two feet in length, measure the level of the
floor where the unit is to be installed. Measure back-to-front and
side-to-side and note the measurements.
3. With the unit on a level surface, adjust the feet, as appropriate, to
compensate for the floor level measurements noted in Step 2.
10
4. Place the unit in position where it is to be installed. Re-check
cabinet height and levelness (Figure 4) and adjust if necessary.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY -
ICE MAKER MODELS ONLY
Install a 1/4" 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.
• In most instances, the cold water supply will come from the
basement through a hole in the floor.
• The water pressure should be between 15 and 150 psi.
• Install a shut-off valve in the 1/4" outside diameter supply line
(not supplied with unit).
• 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.
On BI-95 and BI-98 models, the water line is inserted through the hole
in the rear of the unit to connect to the solenoid valve in the front
(Figure 5).

1. Locate the compression fitting
O
and ferrule packed in the unit.
Slide the compression fitting and
ferrule over the 1/4" 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 6). Do not overtighten.
2. Carefully bend the water supply
line into position and connect
the line to the solenoid valve
(see Figure 7). Avoid kinking the
water supply line.

3. For recessed installations,
allow extra water supply line
length to provide slack for easy
removal from the recessed
area (see Figure 8). This will
also safeguard against kinking
the line.

NOTE
On BI-95 and BI-98 models, route the water supply line
through the unit so it does not come into contact with any
internal components other than the solenoid valve
(Figure 9). Normal operation creates some vibration.
A water supply line contacting an internal component or
cabinet wall can cause excessive noise during operation or
damage to 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 bucket
arm of the ice maker
(Figure 10). Failure to raise
the bucket arm may result in
damage to the water valve.
Figure 10

NOTE
After completing the installation, turn on the water and
recheck water connection for leaks. Apply additional tightening if needed. Do not use thread sealing compound or
tape.
4. Plug in the power cord.
5. Gently push the unit into position.
GRILLE INSTALLATION
1. With a standard blade screwdriver (or 1/4” nutdriver), remove
the grille screw to attach the grille (Figure 11).

2. Remove the control knob by pulling it toward you.
3. Identify the small screw hole located toward the top of the
middle recessed section of the grille.
