Environmental Requirements
u-line.com
Environmental Requirements
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.

Electrical
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.

Side-by-Side Installation
u-line.com
Side-by-Side Installation
Two units may be installed side-by-side.
Cutout width for a side-by-side installation is the cutout
dimension of a single unit times two.
No trim kit is required. However, 1/4" (6 mm) of space
needs to be maintained between the units to ensure
unobstructed door swing.
Units must operate from separate, properly grounded
electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s
electrical specifications requirements.
Side-by-Side Installation with Bracket
1. Slide both units out so screws on top of units are easily
accessible.
2. Remove screws as shown below.
3. Place bracket over holes and attach to unit with two
screws removed in step 2 using a T-25 Torx driver.
Tighten screws fully.
4. Gently push units into position. Be careful not to
entangle the electrical cord or water line, if applicable.
5. 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.

Water Hookup
Water Hookup
PREPARE PLUMBING
The water valve uses a standard 1/4” (6.35 mm)
compression tting. U-Line recommends using accessory
water hook up kit – part # 80-54674-00. The kit includes
a 10’ (3 m) braided exible water supply line and a brass
hose tting.
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
When connecting the water supply, please note the
following:
• Water Mineral Content:
◦TDS: greater than 5 ppm (mg/l) but less than
400 ppm (mg/l)
◦Hardness: Less than 200 mg/l (12 gpg)
• Not recommended for use with softened water
• A TDS meter is included with your unit
• Water Treatment Options
◦TDS between 400-600 and/or hardness
between 13-20 can be treated by U-Line’s in-line water
filter accessories available at u-line.com or your local
dealer:
 ULALINEFILTER — Standard
 ULALINEFILTERL — Large
 ULALINEFILTERHEAD — 3/8” NPT, initial
setup requires head & filter

• The water pressure should be between 20 and 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.
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.
HOOKUP WATER
1. Turn o water supply and disconnect electrical supply
to product prior to attempting installation.
2. Remove the back panel.

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.

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.
