CONNECTING A DRAIN PUMP

If a gravity drain connection is not available, and you have not pur- chased the CLR2060 with factory installed pump, we strongly rec-

ommend the use of the U-Line P60 drain pump. The U-Line P60 drain pump is available through your Dealer, or direct from U-Line with complete installation instructions. If a pump other than the U-Line P60 drain pump is to be used, it must meet the following specifications:

• It must be UL listed and have a UL listed, 120 VAC, 3-wire grounded power cord.

• It must have overall maximum outside dimensions of 8-3/4" wide x

5-3/4" deep x 7-3/4" high.

• It must have a minimum flow rate of 15 gallons per hour at 10 feet of lift.

• It must have a sealed sump which does not allow water leakage in the case of a power outage, restricted drain or pump failure.

• It must have a check valve in the discharge line to prevent waste water return to the pump.

• It must have an overflow protection control which will shut off power to the ice maker in the event of a pump failure.

• It must have an operating temperature range of 50°F to 110°F

(10°C to 40°C).

!

CAUTION

In the event of a power outage, restricted drain or pump failure, the failure to use the U-Line P60 drain pump or a pump with the above listed specifications, could result in substantial water leakage and pooling with severe and costly water damage and related consequential damages and harm.

SITE PREPARATION

1. Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire weight of the unit. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it is fully loaded.

It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. This can cause a reduction in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling into the storage area which will cause the ice in the bin to melt prematurely. Remember that floors near drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain.

2. The surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C) but must not exceed 110°F (40°C).

3. The unit must not be located near heat-generating equipment or in direct sunlight.

4. The unit must be located to allow clearance for water, drain and electrical connections in the rear of the ice maker.

5. Connect the unit to a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz,

15A circuit (normal household current).

!

DANGER !

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD!

Electrical Grounding Required. This appliance is equipped with a three prong (grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards.

• NEVER remove the round grounding prong from the plug.

• NEVER use a two-prong grounding adapter.

• NEVER use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.

INITIAL START-UP

Once installation and leveling is complete, the unit is ready for initial start-up and operation. Your unit is shipped in the OFF position, however, you may turn it ON/OFF using the cycle selector switch located in the grille (see Figure 24).

CYCLE SELECTOR SWITCH

UL316B

Figure 24

1. Plug the appliance cord into a 115V polarized and grounded electrical outlet.

2. Open the water supply valve in the main water source.

3. Put the cycle selector switch in the ICE position (press the switch to the right). The water fill valve will energize and fill the water reservoir. The water fill valve shuts off after 180 seconds. The compressor begins to operate and water flows over the evaporator assembly (ice cube tray).

4. Upon initial start-up, water flow over the evaporator may be uneven. This may cause uneven sized cubes or water spilling into the ice storage bin. This is a normal situation and will correct itself within the first twenty-four hours of operation. After the initial startup period, the water will cascade evenly over the evaporator.

It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water line.

Always throw away all ice cubes made during the first two to three hours of operation.

20

NORMAL OPERATION

The ice maker is designed to make clear ice from most water sources on a consistent basis. Water is constantly circulated over the evaporator assembly. As the water freezes, gravity causes any sediment to drop into the water trough and not become imbedded in the ice. This gives a clearer ice cube with a low mineral content.

When the ice reaches the desired thickness, it falls off the evaporator and into the storage bin. The cycle is then repeated. When the level of ice reaches the top of the storage bin the unit shuts off. As the ice level in the bin drops the unit will automatically restart to keep the bin full.

Your unit’s ice production rate may vary depending on many considerations. Ambient air temperatures, water temperatures, condenser cleanliness and ice-maker cleanliness are all contributing factors to how quickly the unit produces ice.

Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, the water circulation pump or ice dropping into the ice storage bin.

OUTDOOR USE

Some CLR2060 models are designed to operate outdoors. Special considerations include the following:

• For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight.

• Turn the unit OFF and dispose of any ice cubes if the unit will not be used for 5 days or more. Prop door open to allow for air circulation and prevent mold and mildew.

• If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F, drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the warranty.

• High ambient temperatures (110°F or higher) may reduce the unit’s ability to reach low temperatures and may also reduce the ice production rate.
