BI2015 — Ice Maker

™

After all the protective coating has been removed from the unit/door, clean all Stainless Steel surfaces with Claire

Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product or a mild detergent and warm water solution and soft cloth. Do NOT use abrasive cleaning agents.

Note: If cleaning with mild detergent and warm water solution and soft cloth, the unit MUST be treated with

Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent discoloration.

Exterior Cleaning

(As Required)

Black and White Models:

• The door, grille and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting.

Stainless Steel Models:

• Stainless steel models can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach.

• Keep your stainless steel unit looking new by cleaning with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/ polish on a monthly basis. For best results use Claire

Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line Corporation. (The part number is 173348.) Comparable products are acceptable.

Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning on a weekly basis.

• Do not clean with steel wool pads.

• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically intended for stainless steel (this includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).

• If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with Claire

Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further problems.

• Use of abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite will cause the graining in the stainless to become blurred.

• Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible.

3 Prepare Site

Your U-Line product has been designed for either freestanding 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 water, drain and electrical connections in the rear.

6 Prepare Plumbing

CAUTION

Plumbing installation must observe all state and local codes. All water connections MUST BE made by a licensed/ qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to follow recommendations and instructions may result in damage and/or harm.

WARNING

To prevent accidental electrocution, make certain that the floor surfaces surrounding the unit are dry whenever power is removed from, or applied to, the unit.

Water Supply Connection

When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:

• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.

• Connect to the cold water supply.

• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.

• Install a shut-off valve in the 1/4 inch OD water supply line.

• Connect sufficient tubing to the unit so that tubing may be looped, allowing the unit to be removed for

cleaning and servicing (see Figure 32). However, make

certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation.

• U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for installation.

To connect to water supply:

1. Install the 1/4 inch OD copper water line from the

main water source (see Figure 30).

2. Locate the compression fitting and ferrule packed with the unit. Slide the compression fitting and ferrule over the 1/4-inch OD water supply line. Do not use thread sealing compound or tape. Using two wrenches, tighten the compression fitting on the supply line

(see Figure 31).

3. Carefully bend the water supply line into position and connect the line to the solenoid valve (see

Figure 32). Avoid kinking

the water supply line.

Figure 32

IMPORTANT

Normal operation creates some vibration. A water supply line contacting cabinet wall may cause excessive noise during operation or damage to the line.

4. For recessed installations, allow extra water supply line length to provide slack for easy removal from the

recessed area (see Figure 32). This will also safeguard

against kinking the line.

5. Go on to 7 Prepare Power Supply.

It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill evenly.

1. Use a level to check the levelness of the ice maker from front to back and from side to side. Level should be placed along top edge and side edge

as shown (see Figure 34).

Installation Tip

If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cut-out opening, adjust the rear feet to achieve a total unit rear height of 1/8" less than the opening’s rear height. Shorten the unit height in the front by adjusting the front feet.

This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the opening.

Readjust the front feet to level the unit after it is correctly positioned in the opening.

Installation Troubleshooting

Q:

Problem

Water is leaking under the unit.

A:

Solution

A water leak under the unit is most likely caused by a bad connection in the water supply line. Make sure the water line’s brass fitting is screwed tight to its valve and threaded correctly.

Q:

Problem

The door remains open unless it is pushed closed.

A:

Solution

The hinges should be self-closing when the door is open approximately 8". If this is not the case, make sure the closers (at the bottom of the hinge pin) are clean, greased and installed correctly. Also, re-check leveling from front to back of the unit and readjust if necessary. Make sure that pivot plate is installed correctly.

Q:

Problem

The custom overlay door was designed to align with the rest of the cabinet doors, but the unit has crept forward.

A:

Solution

Make sure that the electrical cord and water supply line are not obstructing the installation.

10 Start-Up for the First Time

1. Put the ON/OFF switch in the ON position, and set the Temperature Control

Knob at 4.

2. As soon as the ice maker mold reaches the proper temperature, the ice maker mechanism will fill the mold with water.

Note: The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. Subsequent cubes will be standard size.

Figure 37

3. The ice maker will continue to produce until the bin is full. You may interrupt production by raising the bin

arm into an upright and locked position (see Figure

37). While the bin arm is locked, the unit will maintain

temperature for ice storage.

IMPORTANT

It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water line. Always throw away all ice cubes made during the first twenty-four (24) hours of operation.

About Settings

No adjustments should be necessary at this time. For information about Adjusting the Temperature Control and Adjusting Ice Cube Size, see the User Manual.

Start-Up Troubleshooting

Q:

Problem

Unit does not appear to turn on when switch is set to ON.

A:

Solution

Make sure unit is plugged in and outlet has power (circuit breaker has not tripped). Remember that the ice maker mechanism will not fill the mold with water until the mold reaches the proper temperature.

Q:

Problem

Water does not appear to be flowing into unit.

A:

Solution

Check that the water is connected and turned on and the line is not obstructed.

Q:

Problem

Ice cubes produced during the first two to three hours of operation have been discarded. New cubes still appear cloudy.

A:

Solution

This is normal and is caused by air being trapped in the cube during fast freezing.
