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.

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 # WATERHOOKUP. The kit
includes a 10' (3 m) braided flexible water supply line and
a brass hose fitting. When using a 1/4" (6.35 mm) O.D.
soft copper supply line use the brass nut and sleeve
included with the unit.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

manually defrost the unit.
Ensure the door is closing and sealing
properly.
High ambient temperature and excessive
humidity can also produce frost.
The unit is exposed to excessive humidity.
Moisture will dissipate as humidity levels
decrease.
Because product in contact with the rear wall
may freeze, ensure no product is touching the
rear wall.
Adjust the temperature to a warmer set point.
Listed below are common refrigeration components with a
brief description of the normal operating sounds they

Problem Possible Cause and Remedy
Product is Not
Cold Enough.
Air temperature does not indicate product
temperature. See CHECKING PRODUCT
TEMPERATURE below.
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 openings and the time the door 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).

8. THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL
OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ALL OF WHICH
ARE DISCLAIMED. U-Line’s sole liability, and your
exclusive remedy, under this warranty is set forth in
the paragraphs above. U-Line shall have no liability
whatsoever for any incidental, consequential, or
special damages arising from the sale, use, or
installation of the product or from any other cause
whatsoever, whether based on warranty (express or
implied) or otherwise based on contract, tort, or any
other theory of liability.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.

These temperature controls are double throw, single pole
controls. The sensing tube is inserted into the ice maker
mold and senses mold temperature. After ice is sensed in
the mold, the 2-3 contacts open (stopping the
compressor) and the 2-1 contacts are closed (starting the
ice maker motor). The 2-3 contacts close (2-1 contacts
open) before the end of the ice harvest cycle.The hold
