Water Hookup
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.
Plumbing installation must observe all state
and local codes. All water and drain connections
MUST BE made by a licensed/qualied plumbing
contractor. Failure to follow recommendations
and instructions may result in damage and/or
harm.
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 a minimum of
20 and a maximum of 120 psi (138 and 827 kPa).
•The water line MUST have a shut-o 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.
Connect to potable water supply only.
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 exible 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,
ooding or void the product warranty.
Use new hose set. Do not reuse old hose set.
Turn o water supply and disconnect electrical
supply to unit prior to installation.
Use caution when handling back panel. The edges
could be sharp.
Turn o water supply and disconnect electrical supply to
product prior to attempting installation.
1. Remove the back panel.
2. Locate water
valve inlet and
connect to
valve.
3. Break away ller feature in bushing with at
screwdriver.
4. Thread water line through
back panel hole (with
bushing).
Note: Orientation of hole
and location of water line
clamp may be dierent
depending on model.
5. Turn on water supply and
check for leaks.
6. Reinstall back panel.
7. Loosen screw on clamp,

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.
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
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.
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.

EXTERIOR CLEANING
Vinyl Clad (Black or White) Models
Clean surfaces 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.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.
Stainless Models
Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor
when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater
or cleaners with bleach.
Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a
good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish
monthly. For best results use Claire® Stainless Steel
Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable.
Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that
could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning
weekly.
Do not clean with steel wool pads.
Do not use stainless steel cleaners or polishes on
any glass surfaces.
Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass
cleaner.
Do not use cleaners not specifically intended for
stainless steel on stainless surfaces (this
includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).
If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser®
and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain.
Always finish with Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and
Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further
problems.
Using abrasive pads such as ScotchBrite™ will
cause the graining in the stainless to become
blurred.
Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the
surface of the stainless steel and complete
removal of the rust may not be possible.
Integrated Models
To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the
cabinet manufacturer’s recommendations.
INTERIOR CLEANING
Disconnect power to the unit.
Clean the interior and all removed components using a
mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution
applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.
Do not use any solvent-based or abrasive
cleaners. These types of cleaners may transfer taste to
the interior products and damage or discolor the interior.
