Water Hookup
PREPARE PLUMBING
The water valve uses a standard 1/4” (6.35 mm)
compression tting. U-Line recommends using accessory
water hook up kit part # 80-54674-00. The kit includes
a 10’ (3 m) braided exible water supply line and a brass
hose tting.
CAUTION
!
Plumbing installation must observe all state
and local codes. All water and drain connections
MUST BE made by a licensed/qualied 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:
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 exible 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,
ooding or void the product warranty.
Use new hose set. Do not reuse old hose set.
CAUTION
!
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).
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) between 5 ppm (mg/L)
and 400 ppm (mg/L) and water hardness less than 200
mg/L (ppm), 12 gpg (grains per gallon).
TDS and/or water hardness above these limits should
be treated with a reverse osmosis system or other
ltration system.
Softened water is not recommended as it may result in
softer ice than desired.
The water line MUST have a shut-o 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.
Turn o water supply and disconnect electrical supply to unit prior to installation.
Use caution when handling back panel. The edges could be sharp.

compressed ice approximately
Ice is produced until the machine senses the bin is full. As
ice slowly melts in the bin, the level of ice drops and ice
production resumes. This ensures a constant supply of
fresh ice is always available.
The factory default ice setting is 0, which produces a firm
and compact ice nugget. U-Lines exclusive U-Choose
ice adjustability feature allows you five levels of
adjustment from 0 to -5. At -5 the ice is soft and

Cleaning
EXTERIOR CLEANING
Vinyl Clad (Black or White) Models
Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water
solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners.
Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a
soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.
Stainless Models
Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or
cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a
good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish
monthly. For best results use Claire® Stainless Steel
Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable.
Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that
could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning
weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on
any glass surfaces.
Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the
cabinet manufacturers recommendations.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild
nonabrasive detergent and warm solution applied with a
soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These types of cleaners may transfer taste
and/or odor to the interior products and damage or discolor
the interior.
NUGGET ICE MACHINE CLEANING CYCLE
This ice machine has an automatic clean alert function. The control will indicate CL in the display, approximately
every six months with normal use, reminding you to clean your unit. When CL is displayed, ice production will
continue. Depending on water conditions, more frequent
cleaning may be necessary: see chart below. Cleaning
removes lime scale, other mineral deposits, and sanitizes
the machine. Poor ice quality and reduced ice output are
signs that cleaning is necessary.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.
Do not use cleaners not specically intended for
stainless steel on stainless steel surfaces (this
includes glass, tile, and counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser® and
a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always
® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or
comparable product to prevent further problems.
Using abrasive pads such as ScotchBrite™ will
cause the graining in the stainless steel to
become blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the
surface of the stainless steel and complete
removal of the rust may not be possible.

Troubleshooting - What to check when problems occur:
Problem Possible Cause and Remedy
Interior Light Does Not Illuminate
Light Remains on When Door Is Closed.
If the unit is cooling, it may be in Sabbath mode.
Turn o light switch if equipped.
Adjust light actuator bracket on bottom of door.
All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to
provide high thermal eciency 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 units environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets,
wood, vinyl or tiled oors and paneled walls have a
tendency to reect normal appliance operating noises.
Listed below are common refrigeration components with a
brief description of the normal operating sounds they
make. NOTE: Your product may not contain all the
components listed.
Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing
sound that may be heard when it operates.

may sound like boiling liquid.
Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may
be heard.
Water Valve: Running water and clicking as valve
opens and closes.
Ice Dropping: Ice falling into the bin makes a dull thud
sound. The sound decreases as the bin lls with ice.
Solenoid Valves: An occasional clicking sound may be
heard as solenoid valves are operated.
Included in this section are some diagnostic tips and of
course, if additional help is required, please contact the
U-Line Corp, “Customer Care Facility” at +1.800.779.2547
for assistance.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to
provide high thermal eciency 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 units environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets,
wood, vinyl or tiled oors and paneled walls have a
tendency to reect normal appliance operating noises.

Relay & DC Outputs
One of the primary functions of the main control is to
operate the multiple relay and DC outputs during each
cycle. Verify proper operation of these relays using the
following procedure.
1. Enter “Relay Toggle” through the service menu.
NOTICE
Frequently toggling the compressor relay could
force the compressor into overload. The
compressor will automatically deactivate during
an overload and will remain deactivated until the
overload switch cools. This could take some
time. It is important to allow the compressor at
least 5 minutes o time between relay cycles.
2. Toggle the relay. Its related component should
activate / deactivate with the switching of the relay. If
it does not, test component.
PLUNGER SWITCH
A plunger switch is used to monitor door state. When the
door is closed it comes into contact with the plunger which
closes a circuit which turns the light and display o. When
the door is open the plunger moves outward and opens the
circuit. If the door is left open for longer than 5 minutes
the switch will trigger an error code and set an audible
warning.
ERROR CODES
Other Suspected Main Control Faults
If other components have been ruled out as being faulty,
but the unit continues to have operating issues, it is most
likely due to a conguration error. Some conguration
errors can be cleared by restoring the unit to its factory
default setting. Factory defaults may be restored through
the service menu. If that does not work, check that the
board is programmed to the correct model in the service
menu.
CAUTION
!
Precautions must be taken while working with
live electrical equipment. Be sure to follow
proper safety procedures while performing tests
on live systems.

Thermistor
Thermistors are used for various temperature readings.
Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a
resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures.
If a faulty thermistor is suspected, it may be tested using
an accurate ohmmeter.
Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor
connection that has become corroded can cause resistance
values from the thermistor to change as they pass through
a dirty connection to the board.
It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of
our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to
keep thermistor connections clean and dry.
If you change a thermistor in the unit, please re-apply
dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty
thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor
and the thermistor harness.
This unit has one thermistor located along the right hand
sidewall of the ice bin. It is used to maintain the ice level in
the bin.
