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.

Electrical
! 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.
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.

Water Hookup
! CAUTION
PREPARE PLUMBING
The water valve uses a standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) compression fitting. U-Line recommends using accessory water hook up kit – part # 80-54674-00. The kit includes a 10' (3 m) braided flexible water supply line and a brass hose fitting.
! CAUTION
Plumbing installation must observe all state and local codes. All water and drain connections MUST BE made by a licensed/qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to follow recommendations and instructions may result in damage and/or harm.
Water Supply Connection
When connecting the water supply, please note the following:
•Before installing the unit and connecting to the cold water supply, review the local plumbing codes.
•The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi (138 and 827 kPa).
•The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the supply line.
•The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing. Make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation.
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.
Use new hose set. Do not reuse old hose set.
! 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.
1.Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical supply to product prior to attempting installation.
2.Remove the back panel.
! WARNING
Connect to potable water supply only.
