Water Hookup

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

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.

Use new hose set. Do not reuse old hose set.

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.

WARNING

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.

Ice

ICE MAKER OPERATION

When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will

shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue

to cool and maintain the ice supply.

Do not place cans or bottles in the ice

compartment because they will freeze.

To turn off ice production: Raise the bin arm into

an upright and locked position. The unit will preserve

temperature for ice storage.

CAUTION

NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp

instrument to separate cubes. Shake the ice

bucket instead.

During periods of limited use or high ambient

temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together.

Gently shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If not using

the ice maker regularly, empty the ice bucket periodically

to ensure fresh cubes.

It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. The cause is air

trapped in the water because of fast freezing. It is not

caused by the health, taste or chemical make up of the

water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you

drink.

Remove the ice bucket for emptying and cleaning. To

remove the ice bucket, raise the bin arm and remove the

bucket from the ice compartment. Use the ice bucket for

ice storage only.

If not intending to use the ice maker, turn the

water supply valve off. It is also important to

raise the bin arm of the ice maker (see above).

Failure to raise the bin arm may result in damage

to the water valve.

Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You

may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve,

or ice dropping into the ice bucket.

Troubleshooting

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE

If you think your U-Line product is malfunctioning, read

the CONTROL OPERATION section to clearly understand

the function of the control.

If the problem persists, read the NORMAL OPERATING

SOUNDS and TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE sections below

to help you quickly identify common problems and

possible causes and remedies. Most often, this will resolve

the problem without the need to call for service.

IF SERVICE IS REQUIRED

If you do not understand a troubleshooting remedy, or

your product needs service, contact U-Line Corporation

directly at +1.414.354.0300

When you call, you will need your product Model and

Serial Numbers. This information appears on the Model

and Serial number plate located on the upper right or rear

wall of the interior of your product.

NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to

provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound

reduction for its internal working components. Despite this

technology, your model may make sounds that are

unfamiliar.

Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because

of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets,

wood, vinyl or tiled floors and paneled walls have a

tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.

• Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator

may sound like boiling liquid.

• Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may

be heard.

• Automatic Defrost Drain Pan: Water may be heard

dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is

in the defrost cycle.

Adjust the temperature to a cooler set point. Ensure unit is not located in excessive

ambient temperatures or in direct sunlight. Ensure the door is closing and sealing

properly. Ensure the interior light has not remained on

too long. Ensure nothing is blocking the front grille,

found at the bottom of the unit. Ensure the condenser coil is clean and free of

any dirt or lint build-up.

CHECKING PRODUCT TEMPERATURE

Causes which affect the internal temperatures of the cabinet include:

• Temperature setting.

• Ambient temperature where installed.

• Installation in direct sunlight or near a heat source.

• The number of door/drawer openings and the time the

door/drawer is open.

• The time the internal light is illuminated. (This mainly

affects product on the top rack or shelf.)

• Obstruction of front grille or condenser.

To check the actual product temperature in the unit:

1. Partially fill a plastic (nonbreakable) bottle with water.

2. Insert an accurate thermometer.

3. Tighten the bottle cap securely.

4. Place the bottle in the desired area for 24 hours.

5. Avoid opening the unit during the testing period.

6. After 24 hours, check the temperature of the water. If

required, adjust the temperature control in a small

increment (see CONTROL OPERATION).

Product Liability

Field service technicians are authorized to make an initial

assessment in the event of reported damages. If there are

any questions about the process involved, the technician

should call U-Line for further explanation.

While inspecting for defects or installation issues, photos

should be taken to document any damages or issues

found.

During the assessment, if the service technician is able to

find the source of the damage and it can be resolved by

replacement of a part, the servicer is authorized to

replace the part in question. The part that caused the

damage must be returned to U-Line in its entirety. The

part must be clearly labeled with the serial number of the

unit it was removed from, the date, and the servicer who

removed the part.

If the service technician determines the damage is the

result of installation issues (water connection/drain, etc.),

the consumer would be notified and the issues shall be

resolved at the direction of the consumer.

If damage is evident and the service technician is unable

to find the source, U-Line must be contacted at 1-800-
