Environmental Requirements

This model is intended for indoor/interior applications only

and is not to be used in installations that are open/

exposed to natural elements.

This unit is designed to operate between 50°F (10°C) and

100°F (38°C). Higher ambient temperatures may reduce

the unit’s ability to reach low temperatures and/or reduce

ice production on applicable models.

For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight

and away from heat generating equipment.

In climates where high humidity and dew points are

present, condensation may appear on outside surfaces.

This is considered normal. The condensation will

evaporate when the humidity drops.

CAUTION

Damages caused by ambient temperatures of

40°F (4°C) or below are not covered by the

warranty.

WARNING

Electrical

SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding

Required. Never attempt to repair or perform

maintenance on the unit until the electricity has

been disconnected.

Never remove the round grounding prong from

the plug and never use a two-prong grounding

adapter.

Altering, cutting or removing power cord,

removing power plug, or direct wiring can cause

serious injury, fire, loss of property and/or life,

and will void the warranty.

u-line.com

Never use an extension cord to connect power to

the unit.

Always keep your working area dry.

NOTICE

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.

See CUTOUT DIMENSIONS for recommended receptacle

location.

PREPARE SITE

Your U-Line product has been designed for either free-

standing 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 an electrical connection in

the rear.

CAUTION

Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet

door.

If you would like to align the face of the unit

with other adjacent cabinet doors, you may need

to alter the wall just behind the drain connection

on the unit to accommodate the drain.

Side-by-Side Installation

Two units may be installed side-by-side.

Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the cutout

dimension of a single unit times two.

No trim kit is required. However, 1/4" (6 mm) of space

needs to be maintained between the units to ensure

unobstructed door swing.

Units must operate from separate, properly grounded

electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s

electrical specifications requirements.

Side-by-Side Installation with Bracket

1. Slide both units out so screws on top of units are easily

accessible.

3. Place bracket over holes and attach to unit with two

screws removed in step 2 using a T-25 Torx driver.

Tighten screws fully.

4. Gently push units into position. Be careful not to

entangle the electrical cord or water line, if applicable.

5. 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 countertop.

2. Remove screws as shown below.

Water Hookup

PREPARE PLUMBING

The water valve uses a standard 1/4” (6.35 mm)

compression fitting.

U-Line recommends using accessory water hookup kit -

Part # 80-54674-00. The kit includes a 10’ (3 m) braided

flexible water supply line and a brass hose fitting.

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.

Water Supply Connection

CAUTION

Do not use any plastic water supply line. The line

is under pressure at all times. Plastic may crack

or rupture with age and cause damage to your

home.

Do not use tape or joint compound when

attaching a braided flexible water supply line

that includes a rubber gasket. The gasket

provides an adequate seal – other materials

could cause blockage of the valve.

Failure to follow recommendations and

instructions may result in damage and/or harm,

flooding or void the product warranty.

CAUTION

Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical

supply to unit prior to installation.

Use caution when handling back panel. The

edges could be sharp.

WARNING

Connect to potable water supply only.

CAUTION

Review, obey, and understand the local

plumbing codes before you install your unit.

Connect to the cold water supply. The water

pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi (138

and 827 kPa). The water line MUST

off valve on the supply line.

Model numbers including “-00” or “-07” do not include a

factory installed drain pump.

Model numbers including “-40” or “-47” include a factory

installed drain pump.

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.

Torx driver. Tighten screws fully.

4. Gently push unit into position. Be careful not to

entangle the electrical cord or water line, if applicable.

5. Check to be sure the unit is level from front to back

and side to side. Make any necessary adjustments.

LEVELING INFORMATION

1. Use a level to

confirm the unit is

level. Level should

be placed along top

edge and side edge

as shown.

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 countertop.

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.

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.
