WARNING
!
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.
Never use an extension cord to connect power to
the unit.
Always keep your working area dry.
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.

Water Hookup
PREPARE PLUMBING
Please use the braided stainless steel water supply line
which comes attached. The water line is fitted with a
standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) compression 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.
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.
Water Supply Connection
CAUTION
!

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).

rechecking ice thickness.
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.
(6.4 mm to 12.7 mm)
(1.6 mm to 3.2 mm)
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,” and the total range of
adjustment is -5 to +5 (ideal range is -1 to +1). 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.

Use only U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner (Part No.
37050, available from your dealer or direct from
your local parts distributor. To locate a parts
distributor near you, visit www.u-line.com. It is
a violation of federal law to use this solution in a
manner inconsistent with its labeling. Use of any
other cleaner can ruin the finish of the
evaporator and will void the warranty. Read and
understand all labels printed on the package
before use.
U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner is used to remove lime scale
and other mineral deposits. Refer to the following steps to
initiate the self-cleaning cycle.
CAUTION
!
Never use anything
to force ice from the
evaporator. Damage
may result.
1. Turn the ice
machine off and
allow any ice to melt
off of the
evaporator.
2. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
6. Clean the Interior Bin as follows:
• Dilute one packet of CLR cleaner into two quarts of
water.
• Using a sponge or cloth, clean interior of ice bin,
tubing and door. This cleaner will remove all mineral
deposits and other contaminants from the surfaces.
• Using a bottle brush, clean out the trough drain tube
and pump tubing where needed.
3. Remove evaporator cover.
4. Remove the standpipe by lifting it up while using a

9. When water begins flowing over the evaporator
(approximately 3 minutes), pour 1 packet of CLR
cleaner into the water trough. The cleaning process will
last approximately 45 minutes.
10.Dilute 1 tablespoon bleach in 1 gallon of warm water.
Apply this solution to the entire inside of the storage
area. Then rinse thoroughly with water.
The unit will resume operation approximately 15 minutes
after the automated cleaning process is completed. The
water fill valve will energize, fill the water reservoir, and
shut-off after three minutes. The compressor begins to
operate and water flows over the evaporator assembly (ice
mold). Initially, the water flow may not be uniform,
causing uneven sized cubes or water to spill into the ice
storage bin. This is a normal situation that will correct
itself within the first 24 hours of operation.
Discard all ice produced in the first harvest.
Should power to the unit be interrupted during
the self-clean cycle, it will be necessary to
repeat the complete cleaning cycle after power
is restored.
REFRESH KIT
Due to variations in water quality or inadequate
maintenance your unit may become excessively coated in
lime scale or calcium. U-Line offers a cost effective
refresh kit which replaces many interior components and
will return your unit to like new condition. Refresh kits
may be ordered from your local distributor and installed
