Exterior Cleaning
Black and White Models:
• Black and White surfaces may be cleaned 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.
Stainless Models:
• Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when
exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners
with bleach.
• Keep your Stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good
quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly
basis. For best results use Claire Stainless Steel Polish and
Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line Corporation
(Part numbers 173348). Frequent cleaning will remove surface
contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations may
require cleaning on a weekly basis.
• Do not clean with steel wool or abrasive pads.
• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically intended
for stainless steel on stainless surfaces (this includes
glass, tile and counter cleaners).
• If any surface discolors or rust appears, clean it quickly with
Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive
cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish
this process with Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or
comparable product to prevent further problems.
Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the
surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of
the rust may not be possible.

6Other Site Requirements
Power Supply
Units requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15A
circuit (normal household current). See Electrical Specifications on
Page 14.
Water Supply
Units require a 1/4” OD water supply line and a shut off valve. For
more information see page 15
Environmental Requirements
Units are designed to operate between 50°F (10°C) and 100°F
(37°C). High ambient temperatures (100°F [37°C] or higher) may
reduce the unit’s ability to reach low temperatures and may also
reduce the ice production rate for those models with ice makers.
If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F (7°C),
drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage, which is
not covered by the warranty.
For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away
from heat generating equipment.
For best performance and life outdoors, place under a counter or
provide shelter of some kind.
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 Specifications
SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding Required.
• Never remove the round grounding prong from the
plug and never use a two-prong grounding adapter.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to the
unit.
Electrical installation must observe all state and local
codes. This unit requires connection to a grounded (threeprong), 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. GFCI
(ground fault circuit interrupter) is usually not required for fixed
location appliances and is not recommended for your unit because
a GFCI could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be sure to
consult your local codes.

11 Plumbing
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, follow these guidelines:
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.
• Connect to the cold water supply.
• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.
• The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the 1/4” O.D.
supply line.
• Leave approximately 8’ of water line to be coiled behind the
appliance. The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This
will allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing.
However, make certain that the tubing is not pinched or
damaged during installation.
For units with front mounted water solenoids, route the
water supply line through the unit so it does not come
into contact with any internal components other than the
solenoid valve. Normal operation creates some vibration.
A water supply line contacting an internal component or
cabinet wall can cause excessive noise during operation or
damage to the line.
4. For recessed installations, allow extra water supply line length to
provide slack for easy removal from the recessed area. This will
also safeguard against kinking the line.
U-Line requires the use of copper tubing for 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 water damage to your home.
1. For units with front mounted water solenoids you must
remove the grille
1. Install the 1/4 inch OD copper water line to the main water
source.
2. Locate the compression fitting and
ferrule packed with the unit. Slide the
compression fitting and ferrule over the
1/4-inch OD water supply line. Do not
use thread sealing compound or tape.
Using two wrenches, tighten the
compression fitting on the supply line.
3. Carefully bend the water supply line into position and connect
the line to the solenoid valve. Avoid kinking the water supply
line.

Leveling Information
ADA15IM & BI2115
It is recommended that the unit is level.
1. Use a level to check the
levelness of the unit from
front to back and from side
to side. Level should be
placed along top edge and
side edge as shown
2. If the unit is not level, adjust
the feet on the corners of
the unit as necessary (not
available in all models).
Installation
1. Open the water supply valve in the main water source.
2. Plug in the powercord.
3. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not to kink the
water supply line or entangle the electrical cord.
4. 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" below the countertop.
Grille Installation
BI95, BI98, WH95TP, BCM95BTP, BCM95
1. Locate and remove the grille screw from the cabinet, using a
standard blade screwdriver (or a 1/4" nut driver).
2. Identify the grille screw hole on the grille itself. It is located
toward the top of the middle recessed section of the grille.
3. Place the two hook-hinges (located on the rear bottom side of
the grille) onto the front lip of the unit base. Swing the grille up
into position, aligning the grille screw hole on the grille to the
grille screw hole on the cabinet. See Below.
4. Insert the screw. Do not overtighten.
3. Check the levelness 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 cut-out opening,
adjust the rear feet to achieve a total unit rear height of 1/8" less
than the opening’s rear height. Shorten the unit height in the front
by adjusting the front feet. This allows the unit to be gently tipped
into the opening. Readjust the front feet to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.
All Other Models
It is extremely important that these units sit on a level
surface, as they do not have feet levelers. If they are not
level, the ice mold will not fill evenly.
Use a level to check the
levelness of the unit from front
to back and from side to side.
Level should be placed along
top edge and side edge as
shown.
SS1095 Models
SS1095NF & SS1095FC models: Place the bottom lip of the grille
on the inside of the base pan and swing grille up into position.
SS1095FD model: Align the tabs on the bottom of the grille with
the slots in the flange and swing grille up into position.
Align the grille and cabinet screw holes.
Insert the grille screw and tighten. Do not over-tighten

Problem
Solution
A:
Water is leaking under the unit.
A water leak under the unit is most likely caused by a bad
connection in the water supply line. Make sure the water line’s
brass fitting is screwed tight to its valve and threaded correctly.
Make sure that plumbers tape was NOT used; if it was remove all
traces before reinstalling.
BI-2115 Specific
The door remains open unless it is pushed closed.
The hinges should be self-closing when the door is open
approximately 8". If this is not the case, make sure the closers are
clean, greased and installed correctly. Also, re-check leveling from
front to back of the unit and readjust if necessary. Make sure that
pivot plate is installed correctly.
The custom overlay door was designed to align with the rest of the
cabinet doors, but the unit has crept forward.
Make sure that the electrical cord and water supply line are not
obstructing the installation.
