PREPARE SITE
Your U-Line product has been designed exclusively for a
built-in installation. When built-in, your unit does not
require additional air space for top, sides, or rear.
However, the front grille must NOT be obstructed.
The Modular 3000 Series units are engineered with a
variety of adjustment features to help ensure a seamless
installation. Adjustable doors, leveling legs and grille will
assist in fine tuning the installation.
All 3000 Series models fully integrate into overlay/face
frame, inset or European/frameless cabinet styles and
install seamlessly into standard 24" (610 mm) depth
cabinet base.
CAUTION
!
Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet
door.
U-Line products are designed and manufactured
to be seamlessly installed in the specified cutout
openings shown, and variance to the floors or
cabinetry must be accounted for in your
installation.

PREPARE PLUMBING
Please use the braided stainless steel water supply line
which comes attached. The water line is fitted with a
standard 1/4" (6.35 mm) compression 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
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 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.
CAUTION
!
Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical
supply to unit prior to installation.
1. Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical supply
to product prior to attempting installation.
2. Locate the desired cold water supply location.
3. Locate braided stainless steel
water supply line and connect
to your cold water supply. 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.

factory installed drain pump.
Model numbers including “-40” or “-47” include a factory
installed drain pump.
DRAIN CONNECTION
CAUTION
!
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 floor drain must be large
enough to accommodate drainage from all
attached drains. Follow these guidelines when
installing drain lines to prevent water from
flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/
or potentially flowing onto the floor, which may
result in personal injury or property damage.
NOTICE
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 fittings are free from
leaks.
GRAVITY DRAIN
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.
CAUTION
!
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).

General Installation
1. Use a level to confirm
the unit is level. Level
should be placed along
top edge and side
edge as shown.
2. If the unit is not level,
remove grille and
adjust legs as
necessary. Use
included tool to adjust the height of the rear legs.
3. Confirm the unit is level 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 cutout
opening, adjust the rear legs to achieve a total unit rear
height of 1/8" (3 mm) less than the 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. Adjust 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.
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 the interior packing material and wipe out the
inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.
