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.
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.

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).
• 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.
WARNING
!
Connect to potable water supply only.
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.

come into contact with any internal components
other than the solenoid valve. Normal operation
creates some vibration. A water supply line
contacting an internal component or cabinet wall
can cause excessive noise during operation or
damage to the line.

Drain
CLEAR ICE AND NUGGET ICE MACHINES ONLY
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 from
flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/
or potentially flowing onto the floor, which may
result in personal injury or property damage.
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.
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).

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.
The maximum lift for the P60 drain pump is
10 feet. This must be done as close to the rear of

General Installation
LEVELING INFORMATION
1. Use a level to
confirm 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. Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and
repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.
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 the 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.

CRESCENT ICE MAKERS
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.
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.
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.
ICE MAKER ADJUSTMENT
Ice Cube Thickness Adjustment
Interval - As Required
On ice maker equipped models, adjust the cube size by
changing water amount injected into the ice maker
assembly as follows:
1. Remove the ice maker assembly cover (1).
2. Find the adjusting screw on the ice maker assembly
control box (2). The adjusting screw is just below the
minus (-) and plus (+) signs on the control box.

QUICK START GUIDE
u-line.com
CAUTION
!
Too large of an adjustment to the screw can
cause the water to overflow the ice maker and
can cause property damage.
3. Turn the adjusting screw toward the minus (-) sign
(clockwise) for smaller cubes or toward the plus (+)
sign (counterclockwise) for larger cubes.
4. Install the ice maker assembly cover.
ADJUSTING ICE HARVEST
1. Remove the front grille
2. Using a flat tip screwdriver, turn the adjusting screw
(3) a small increment clockwise for a COLDER setting
(slower ice production) or counterclockwise for a
WARMER setting (faster ice production).
3. Reinstall the front grille (two screws).
CLEAR ICE MACHINES
ICE CUBE THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT
Ice thickness adjustment should only be made
one increment at a time. Allow ice maker
production to stabilize for 24 hours before
rechecking ice thickness.
Ice is produced in layers resulting in a clear cube. Ice in
bin may develop surface frost which disappears when cube
is placed in liquid.
Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary
to choose cubes from the sample area for comparison
when making adjustments.
The ice cube thickness is factory set for best overall
performance. The factory setting is designed to maintain
an ice bridge of approximately 1/16" to 1/8" (1.6 mm to
3.2 mm) under normal conditions, resulting in a dimple of
approximately 1/4" to 1/2" (6.4 mm to 12.7 mm) in
depth. A fuller cube with less of a dimple results in a
thicker ice bridge. As the ice bridge becomes thicker, the
tendency for the cubes to stay together as a slab
increases. A bridge thicker than 1/8" (3.2 mm) may cause
cubes to overfill the ice bucket.
32 ice cubes are formed on a 4 x 8 slab during each cycle.
Each cycle takes approximately 15-20 minutes at the
default cube thickness (0).

Your clear ice machine is preset to produce ice between
the optimal dimensions illustrated below:
Ice thickness adjustments are made using the control
panel as follows:
1. To enter the thickness adjustment mode:
• Press and hold for 5 seconds.
• The display will switch to “0” to confirm the
thickness adjustment mode has been selected.
The factory setting is “0”. Use to raise the setting and
thicken the ice bridge, or to lower the setting to thin
the ice bridge.
Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary
to choose cubes from the sample area for comparison
when making adjustments.

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.

Cleaning
CLEAR ICE MACHINE CLEANING CYCLE
Your U-Line clear ice machine has an automatic clean
alert function. Cleaning cycles should be run as notified.
Otherwise, to maintain operational efficiency the unit
should be cleaned every three months. Depending on
water conditions, more frequent cleaning may be
necessary. If the ice machine requires more frequent
cleaning, consult a plumber to test the water quality and
recommend appropriate treatment.
CAUTION
!
Wear rubber gloves and safety goggles and/or
face shield when handling Ice Machine Cleaner.
NOTICE
Use only U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner (Part No.
80-54081-00), available from your dealer or
direct from your local parts distributor. To locate
a parts distributor near you, visit u-line.com. It
is a violation of federal law to use this solution in
a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Use of
any other cleaner can ruin the finish of the
evaporator and will void the warranty. Read and
understand all labels printed on the package
before use.
U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner is used to remove lime scale
and other mineral deposits. Refer to the following steps to
initiate the self-cleaning cycle.
CAUTION
!
Never use anything
to force ice from the
evaporator. Damage
may result.
1. Turn the ice
machine off and
allow any ice to melt
off of the
evaporator.
2. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
3. Remove evaporator cover.
4. Remove the standpipe by lifting it up while using a
slight back and forth motion to loosen it from the drain
hole. The water in the reservoir will flow down the
drain.
5. Re-install the standpipe into the water trough.
6. Clean the Interior Bin as follows:
• Dilute one packet of U-Line Ice Machine Cleaner
into two quarts of water.

• Using a sponge or cloth, clean interior of ice bin,
tubing and door. This cleaner will remove all mineral
deposits and other contaminants from the surfaces.
• Using a bottle brush, clean out the trough drain tube
and pump tubing where needed.
7. Turn unit on by pressing
8. Place the unit into CLEAN mode by holding for
5 seconds.
9. When water begins flowing over the evaporator
(approximately 3 minutes), pour 1 packet of CLR
cleaner into the water trough. The cleaning process will
last approximately 45 minutes.
10.Dilute 1 tablespoon bleach in 1 gallon of warm water.
Apply this solution to the entire inside of the storage
area. Then rinse thoroughly with water.
The unit will resume operation approximately 15 minutes
after the automated cleaning process is completed. The
water fill valve will energize, fill the water reservoir, and
shut-off after three minutes. The compressor begins to
operate and water flows over the evaporator assembly (ice
mold). Initially, the water flow may not be uniform,
causing uneven sized cubes or water to spill into the ice
storage bin. This is a normal situation that will correct
itself within the first 24 hours of operation.
NOTICE
Discard all ice produced in the first harvest.
Should power to the unit be interrupted during
the self-clean cycle, it will be necessary to
repeat the complete cleaning cycle after power
is restored.
REFRESH KIT
Due to variations in water quality or inadequate
maintenance your unit may become excessively coated in
lime scale or calcium. U-Line offers a cost effective
refresh kit which replaces many interior components and
will return your unit to like new condition. Refresh kits
may be ordered from your local distributor and installed
by your local service company. For information on your
local distributor or service company please visit

NUGGET ICE MACHINE CLEANING CYCLE
This ice machine has an automatic clean alert function.
The control will indicate
CL in the display, approximately
every six months with normal use, reminding you to clean
your unit. When
CL is displayed, ice production will
continue. Depending on water conditions, more frequent
cleaning may be necessary. Cleaning removes lime scale,
other mineral deposits, and sanitizes the machine. Poor
ice quality and reduced ice output are signs that cleaning
is necessary. If the machine consistently requires more
