Side-by-Side Installation
OTHER SITE REQUIREMENTS
Side-by-Side Installation
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded
electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s
electrical specifications requirements.
Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the total of
the widths listed under Cutout Dimensions in each unit’s
Installation Guide. Each door can be opened individually
(one at a time) without interference.
However, to ensure unobstructed door swing (opening
both doors at the same time), 1/4" (6.4 mm) of space
needs to be maintained between the units.
Hinge-by-Hinge Installation (Mullion)
When installing two units hinge-by-hinge, 13/16" (22 mm)
is required for integrated models. Additional space may be
needed for any knobs, pulls or handles installed.
Stainless steel models which include the standard stainless
handle will require 4-9/16" (116 mm) to allow both doors
to open to 90° at the same time.

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 # ULAWATERHOOKUP. The kit
includes a 10' (3 m) braided flexible water supply line and
a brass hose fitting.
WARNING
!
Prior to installation, determine if this product
contains a gravity style drain or factory installed
drain pump. Products without a drain pump may
only use a gravity style drain. Failure to connect
water supply or drain line connections properly
may result in water leakage, personal injury,
and/or property damage. Disconnect power and
turn off water to the unit before attempting to
alter these connections. These connections are
the responsibility of the owner and must be
connected per local plumbing code. If you are
uncertain of how to safely and properly install
this product, contact a licensed plumber.
Water Supply Connection
WARNING
!
Connect to potable water supply only.
CAUTION
!
Review, obey, and understand the local
plumbing codes before you install your unit.
Connect to the cold water supply. The water
pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi (138
and 827 kPa). The water line MUST have a shut-
off valve on the supply line.
CAUTION
!
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.
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 grille/access panel in the front and the
back panel.
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.
!CAUTION
3. Locate water
valve in the front
of the unit and
thread water
supply line
through.
NOTICE
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.

Drain
If your U-Line unit did not come with a factory
installed drain pump you must use a gravity
style drain connection. For assistance in
determining if your unit has a pump please
contact U-Line. The oor drain must be large
enough to accommodate drainage from all
attached drains. Follow these guidelines when
installing drain lines to prevent water from
owing back into the ice maker storage bin and/
or potentially owing onto the oor, which may
result in personal injury or property damage
Failure to connect water supply or drain line
connections properly can result in personal injury
and property damage. Gravity drain connections
must be routed downward from the rest of the
unit at the rate of 1/4” per foot (1 cm per 50 cm).
Drain can NOT be located directly below the
unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow the
unit to drain below itself.
There is a possibility that hose connections may
have loosened during shipment.
Verify all connections and ttings are free from
leaks.
This equipment is to be installed with adequate
backow protection to comply with applicable
federal, state and local codes
Model numbers including “CL” or “NB” do not include a
factory installed drain pump.
Model numbers including “CP” or “NP” include a factory
installed drain pump.
A gravity drain may be used if:
Drain line has at least a 1” drop per 48” (approximately
2 cm drop per 100 cm) of run.
Drain line does not create traps and is vented per local
code.
1. Cut the pre-installed drain tube to length.
2. Connect to your local plumbing per the local code.
3. If necessary, insulate drain line to prevent
condensation.

Drain
The maximum lift for the P60 drain pump is
10 feet. This must be done as close to the rear of
the unit as possible.
If your drain line will run up to a stand pipe, disposal
or spigot assembly, or does not otherwise meet the
requirements for a gravity drain, you may have ordered a
pre-installed U-Line P60 drain pump.
If you need to install a P60 drain pump into your unit, see
DRAIN PUMP section in the User Manual.

LEVELING INFORMATION
1. Use a level to
conrm the unit is
level. Level should
be placed along top
edge and side edge
as shown.
2. If the unit is not level, adjust the legs on the corners of
the unit as necessary.
3. Conrm the unit is level after each adjustment and
repeat the previous steps as needed.
INSTALLATION TIP
If the room oor is higher than the oor in the cutout
opening, adjust the rear legs to achieve a total unit rear
height of 1⁄8” (3 mm) less than opening’s rear height.
Shorten the unit height in the front by adjusting the front
legs. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the
opening. Readjust the front legs to level the unit after it is
correctly positioned in the opening.
INSTALLATION
1. Plug in the power/electrical cord.
2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not
to entangle the cord or water and drain lines, if
applicable.
3. 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” (3 mm) below
the countertop.
4. Install the anti-tip bracket.
5. Remove interior packing material and wipe out the
inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.
