GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old
refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors, 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.
• 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.
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
DANGER
! !
SITE PREPARATION
1. Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the
entire weight of the unit. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it is fully loaded.
2. Connect the unit to a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60Hz,
15A circuit (normal household current).
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!
Electrical Grounding Required. This appliance
is equipped with a three prong (grounding)
polarized plug for your protection against
possible shock hazards.
• 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.

NOTE
Keep in mind that the door of
the unit may be mounted on
either side of the cabinet (see
REVERSING THE DOOR). All
U-Line units have a zero clearance for the door to open
when the handle is on the
right (see Figure 1).
Additional clearance is need-

ed for Combo Models 29A,
29FF, and 75A only, when the
door handle is on the left. See
BUILT-IN INSTALLATION for
additional clearance require-

ments for these models.
3. On Ice Maker models SP18, BI-95, BI-98 and Combo Series 29
and 75, install a 1/4 inch 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 inch 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.

4. Position the unit to allow free
air flow through the front grille
(see Figure 2).
5. Wipe out inside of unit and ice
bucket with a damp cloth.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY
1. Install the 1/4 inch copper
water line from the main
water source. On ice maker
models BI-95 and BI-98, the
water line is inserted
through the hole in the rear
of the unit to connect to the
solenoid valve in the front
(see Figure 3).

2. Locate the compression fitting and ferrule packed in the
unit. Slide the compression
fitting and ferrule over the
1/4 inch water supply line.
Do not use thread sealing
compound or tape. Using
two wrenches, tighten the
compression fitting on the
supply line (see Figure 4).
3. Carefully bend the water supply line into position and connect the line to the solenoid
valve (see Figures 5 and 6).
Avoid kinking the water supply line.

4. For recessed installations,
allow extra water supply line
length to provide slack for easy
removal from the recessed
area (see Figure 7). This will
also safeguard against kinking
the line.
UL100
Figure 7
NOTE
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
8).
Figure 8
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.
NOTE
On Models BI-95 and BI-98, route the water supply line
through the unit in such a way as to prevent the line from
coming in contact with any internal components other than
the solenoid valve (see Figure 6). Normal operation creates
some vibration. A water supply line contacting an internal
component or cabinet wall may cause excessive noise during operation or damage to the line.
5. Install the grille. See GRILLE INSTALLATION.
6. Plug in the power cord.
7. Gently push the unit into position. If desired the unit may be recessed
into cabinet or wall.

8. Allow at least 1-1/2 inches clearance behind the unit for electrical and water supply connections.
LEVELING THE UNIT
It is important that the unit, primarily the ice maker assembly, is level.
All 75 and 15 Series units are equipped with adjustable feet for leveling and height adjustment (see Figure 9). All other units have rubber
feet.
