Environmental Requirements
u-line.com
Environmental Requirements
This model is intended for indoor/interior applications only
and is not to be used in installations that are open/
exposed to natural elements.
This unit is designed to operate between 50°F (10°C) and
100°F (38°C). Higher ambient temperatures may reduce
the unit’s ability to reach low temperatures and/or reduce
ice production on applicable models.
For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight
and away from heat generating equipment.
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.
CAUTION
!
Damages caused by ambient temperatures of
40°F (4°C) or below are not covered by the
warranty.

WARNING
!
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.
NOTICE
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.
See CUTOUT & PRODUCT DIMENSIONS for recommended
receptacle location.

PREPARE SITE
Your U-Line product has been designed for either free-
standing or 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,
and clearance is required for an electrical connection in
the rear.
CAUTION
!
Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet
door.
If you would like to align the face of the unit with
other adjacent cabinet doors, you may need to
alter the wall just behind the drain connection on
the unit to accommodate the drain.

OTHER SITE REQUIREMENTS
Side-by-Side Installation
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded
electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s
electrical specications 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.

Drain
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

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. Remove interior packing material and wipe out the
inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.

USER GUIDE u-line.com
First Use
ICE
Your ice machine is unique in how it forms ice with
fractional freezing to form a slab of ice that is clear and
has less dissolved solids than the water from which it is
produced. This is accomplished by running water over the
cold evaporator plate which gradually freezes the water to
produce the ice slab. Pure water freezes rst, leaving the
dissolved solids in the residual reservoir water.
When the ice slab reaches the correct thickness, the ice
sheet is released and slides onto the grid cutter. There,
the ice slab is cut into cubes by the grid cutter’s heated
wires. The water containing the dissolved minerals is
drained after each freezing cycle. Fresh water enters the
machine for the next ice making cycle.
The ice machine will keep producing ice until the ice
machine’s bin is full, resuming automatically as needed.
The ice bin is not refrigerated, and some melting will occur
by design to preserve the ice quality and clarity. Allow
your ice machine to run for 24-48 hours to accumulate ice.
The bin level
sensor is located
in the ice bin, it
senses when the
ice supply is low
or full and starts
or stops the ice-
making process
accordingly.
ICE PRODUCTION
In normal mode, the ice machine will produce up to 39
pounds (17.7 kg) of clear ice in a 24-hour period when
installed in a 72ºF ambient with a 55ºF water supply. In
“ECO” mode, the ice machine will produce up to 29 pounds
(13.2 kg) of clear ice in a 24-hour period.
Note:
“Initial” ice production and ice accumulated in the storage
bin will vary signicantly. This is normal. During the rst
24-hours of operation the unit will produce up to 39 lbs
of ice at the above ambient and water temperatures,
but when starting with an empty ice storage bin, ice
accumulation may only be 18 lbs. By design, the ice
storage bin is maintained at a temperature slightly above
freezing to allow the stored ice to slowly melt, to preserve
the ice quality and clarity and assure a constant supply
of fresh ice. As ice is accumulated in the bin, the ice
production rate will over come the ice melt and the storage
bin will ll to capacity.
NEW SOUNDS
The ice machine will make sounds that are dierent than
your household refrigerator. The ice production process
creates noises such as ice falling onto hard surfaces, water
cascading across the evaporator, and valves opening and
closing. Below are some of the sounds you may hear:
Buzzing - water valve opens to ll water reservoir.
Rattling - water owing through water line.
