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.

Anti-Tip Bracket
Use one of the methods below to secure the unit CABINET/COUNTER ANTI-TIP INSTALLATION (For built-in applications)

1. Slide unit out so screws on front of unit are easily accessible.
2. Remove the two screws from the front of the unit.
3. Bend bracket along one of the perforations to allow attachment to the desired adjoining surface.
4. Gently push unit into position. Be careful not to entangle the electrical cord or water line, if applicable.
5. Check to be sure the unit is level 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.
6. Secure bracket to adjoining surface.

FLOOR MOUNTED ANTI-TIP INSTALLATION
(For free-standing applications)

1. Locate two anti-tip brackets included with the kit.
2. Place the unit into the area where it will be installed. Check the door, sides, and top for a proper fit. Also test to make sure the door opens and closes freely.

SPECIFIC ERRORS AND ISSUES
The advanced diagnostic capabilities of the electronic controls utilized on the 1, 3, and 5 Class units allow for easy and thorough troubleshooting.
Navigation of the control is the key and is explained in the CONTROL OPERATION section of the manual, along with control button layout, control function descriptions, a service mode menu and service menu selection  explanations.
Verification of temperature and thermistor performance can be identified by directly viewing thermistor readings in the service mode.
Included in this section are some diagnostic tips; if additional help is required, please contact the U-Line Corp, “Customer Care Facility” at +1.414.354.0300 for assistance.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS
All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. Despite this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar.
Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit’s environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets, wood, vinyl or tiled floors and paneled walls have a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.
Listed below are common refrigeration components with a brief description of the normal sounds they make. NOTE: Your product may not contain all the components listed.

• Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing sound that may be heard when it operates.
• Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator may sound like boiling liquid.
• Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be heard.
• Automatic Defrost Drain Pan: Water may be heard dripping or running into the drain pan when the unit is in the defrost cycle.

Solenoid Valves: An occasional clicking sound may be heard as solenoid valves are operated.

MAIN CONTROL
The main control board is very robust and is rarely the cause of system issues. It is important to fully diagnose the board for any suspected failures before attempting to remove the board for replacement or service. Follow the guidelines  below to fully test and diagnose the main control.
Power Fault
If the unit does not (or seems to not) power on, follow the flow chart below to help diagnose the issue. Before beginning it is important to first verify the unit is not simply set to sabbath mode.

CAUTION
Precautions must be taken while working with live electrical equipment. Be sure to follow proper safety procedures while performing tests on live systems.
PLUNGER SWITCH
A plunger switch is used to monitor door state. When the door is closed it comes into contact with the plunger which closes a circuit which turns the light and display off. When the door is open the plunger moves outward and opens the
circuit. If the door is left open for longer than 5 minutes the switch will trigger an error code and set an audible warning. Control Operation- Service

Defrost
This unit defrosts, by default, every 12 hours of compressor runtime for 45 minutes. If you have verified that the unit does not have an ambient air leak, refer to the Control Operation – Service section and adjust unit to defrost every 9 hours for 60 minutes. Also, adjust the #2 thermistor to -4 instead of 0.

Remove Fan and Cover
CONVECTION COOLING
This unit is equipped with an advanced convection cooling system. Convection cooling stabilizes cabinet temperature, cools product faster and increases energy efficiency.
Evaporator Fan
The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating warm air from the refrigeration zone, past the evaporator and back into the refrigerated zone.
The evaporator fan is factory set to have a 1 minute delay at the beginning of a cooling cycle. This delay gives the evaporator time to cool properly before warm air is passed over it. The fan will continue to run for an additional 2 minutes at the end of a cooling cycle. Fan delay times can be modified through the service menu.
Evaporator fan operation is also determined by door switch state. If the door switch circuit opens, the fan will stop. When the door switch circuit is closed the fan will either continue running with the cooling cycle, or if not currently cooling, the fan will run for 1 minute to circulate air and clear any condensation that may have appeared on glass doors and shelves.
Note: If the unit is set to sabbath mode, the evaporator fan will no longer respond to the state of the door switch.
In order to operate efficiently, the evaporator fan blade and vents should be unobstructed and free of any dust buildup.

Evaporator Fan Replacement
Should the evaporator fan need to be replaced follow the steps below.

1. Remove any product from the unit.

2. Remove unit from cabinetry to access rear.

3. Disconnect power to the unit.

4. Remove back panel from unit.

5. Disconnect fan electrical connection at rear of unit.

To take advantage of this extension, you must register your product with U-Line within 60 days from the date of purchase at u-line.com and provide proof of purchase. Nugget Ice Machine proof of purchase must include the purchase of an in-line water filter and filter head to qualify for this additional limited warranty.
Five Year Sealed System Limited Warranty
For five years from the date of original purchase, U-Line will repair or replace the following parts, labor not included, that prove to be  defective in materials or workmanship: compressor, condenser, evaporator, drier, and all connecting  tubing. All service provided by U-Line under the above warranty must be performed by a U-Line factory authorized servicer, unless otherwise specified by U-Line. Service provided during normal business hours.
Terms
These warranties apply only to products installed in any one of the fifty states of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the ten provinces of Canada. The warranties do not cover any parts or labor to correct any defect caused by  negligence, accident or improper use, maintenance, installation, service, repair, acts of God, fire, flood or other natural disasters. The product must be installed, operated, and maintained in accordance with your product’s User Guide.
The remedies described above for each warranty are the only ones that U-Line will provide, either under these warranties or under any warranty arising by operation of law. U-Line will not be responsible for any consequential or incidental damages arising from the breach of these warranties or any other warranty, whether express, implied, or statutory. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. These warranties give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
Any warranty that may be implied in connection with your purchase or use of the product, including any warranty of merchantability or any warranty fit for a particular purpose is limited to the duration of these warranties, and only extends to five years in duration for the parts described in the section related to the five year limited warranty above. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.
