General Precautions

Use this appliance for its intended purpose only and
follow these general precautions along with those listed
throughout this guide:

WARNING

SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding Required.

• Keep the unit unplugged throughout installation
except during testing.

• Never remove the round grounding prong from
the plug and never use a two-prong grounding
adapter.

• Never use an extension cord to connect power to
the unit.

• Always keep your working area dry.

CAUTION

• Use care when moving and handling the unit. Use
gloves to prevent personal injury from sharp edges.

• Do not lift the unit by the door or door handle.

• Do not install the unit behind closed doors or in any
way that would obstruct airflow to the front grille,
which may cause the unit to malfunction.

2 Inspect and Plan

You have received a carton containing your CO29A or
CO29FF Ice Maker/Refrigerator with a package inside
containing a User Manual, a Product Registration Card
and water connection parts. Complete and mail the
Product Registration Card or register online at
www.U-LineService.com. Once your unit is installed, keep
the User Manual and this Installation Guide in a safe place
for future reference.

CO29A/CO29FF units are available in vinyl clad cabinets
with matching doors which have a slightly contoured
handle across the top and are reversible. The doors have
recessed front panels that will accept a custom 1/4 inch
thick door panel. Units have two tempered glass shelves.

Please carefully follow the directions that apply to your
unit and your intended design.

Tools/Materials Required

• Screwdrivers — slotted and Phillips head

• 1/4-inch OD copper tubing and shut-off valve for water
supply line

• 1/4-inch thick door panel material and cutting tools

Inspection

Unwrap and inspect the unit on a flat, level surface
capable of supporting its entire weight.

Exterior Cleaning

(As Required)

Black and White Models:

Black and white surfaces may be cleaned with a mild
detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solvent­based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse
with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent
water spotting.

3 Prepare Site

Your U-Line product has been designed for either free­standing or built-in installation. When built-in, your unit
does not require additional air space for top, sides or rear.
However, the front grille must NOT be obstructed and
clearance is required for water and electrical connections
in the rear.

Note: Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet
door.

Door Swing/Clearances Information

Units have a zero clearance for the door to open
90° (see Figure 3). U-Line recommends a minimum door
clearance of 1/4" to accommodate the handle if the unit is
right-hand hinged and installed next to a wall or similar
type of structure.

Units require a minimum of 1" door clearance if installed
flush with cabinet or wall and 9" clearance if installed
adjacent to cabinet or wall if the unit is left-hand hinged
for easy removal of ice bin. See Figure 3.

Figure 1

Follow the cut-out drawing in Figure 1. The 21-1/16"
width allows 1/4" for ease in installation and removal of
the unit. 24" is the counter depth in most installations.
The unit is 24" deep including the door and handle (see

Figure 2).

IMPORTANT

It is extremely important that the unit sits on a level
surface, as it does not have feet levelers. If it is not level,
the ice mold will not fill evenly.
