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.

If the detachable type electric supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an equivalent cord available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

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 220-240 VAC, 50 Hz, 8A 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.

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 # 80-54674-00. The kit includes a 10’ (3 m) braided flexible water supply line and a brass hose fitting.

CAUTION

Plumbing installation must observe all state and local codes. All water and drain connections MUST BE made by a licensed/qualified 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 20 and 120 psi (138 and 827 kPa).
• Water has less than 400 mg/L (ppm) total dissolved solids and hardness level below 200 mg/L (ppm) — i.e., below 12 grains per gallon. Check by using TDS meter or consulting with local water company.
• TDS and/or water hardness above these limits should be treated with a reverse osmosis system or other filtration system.
• Softened water is not recommended as it may result in softer ice than desired.
• The water line MUST have a shut-off 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.

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.

Use new hose set. Do not reuse old hose set.

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 back panel.

3. Thread water line through back panel hole (with bushing).

4. Locate water valve inlet and connect to valve.
   

5. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.

6. Reinstall back panel.

Drain

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.

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 fromflowing 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.

CAUTION

This equipment is to be installed with adequate backflow protection to comply with applicable federal, state and local codes.

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).

FACTORY INSTALLED DRAIN PUMP

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.

See below for typical installations requiring a drain pump.

NOTICE

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.

Door Swing

2. If the unit is not level, adjust the legs on the corners of the unit as necessary.

3. Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and repeat the previous steps as needed.
   

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 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.

Time to reach set point varies based upon ambient temperature, temperature of product loaded, door openings, etc. U-Line recommends allowing the unit to reach set points before loading

Ice

The Nugget Ice Machine produces cylindrical bits of compressed ice approximately 3/4” x 1/2”. Ice is produced until the machine senses the bin is full.

As ice slowly melts in the bin, the level of ice drops and ice production resumes. This ensures a constant supply of fresh ice is always available.

The factory default ice setting is 0, which produces a firm and compact ice nugget. U-Line’s exclusive U-Choose™ ice adjustability feature allows you five levels of adjustment from 0 to -5. At -5 the ice is soft and chewable.

To adjust the ice density:

1. Hold for 5 seconds – display will flash current ice setting.
