Environmental Requirements
This model is intended for indoor/interior applications
only and is not to be used in installations that are
open/ exposed to natural elements.
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

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.
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 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.
See CUTOUT DIMENSIONS for recommended
receptacle location.

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

If your unit is already undercounter, it might
need to be moved out/forward to access the
hinge.
1. Locate the threaded pin.
NOTICE
The pin can be removed to return the door swing

Field service technicians are authorized to make an
initial assessment in the event of reported damages.
If there are any questions about the process involved,
the
technician
should
call
U-Line
for
further
explanation.
While inspecting for defects or installation issues,
photos should be taken to document any damages or
issues found.
During the assessment, if the service technician is able
to find the source of the damage and it can be
resolved by replacement of a part, the servicer is
authorized to replace the part in question. The part
that caused the damage must be returned to U-Line in
its entirety. The part must be clearly labeled with the
serial number of the unit it was removed from, the
date, and the servicer who removed the part.
If the service technician determines the damage is the
result of installation issues (water connection/drain,
etc.), the consumer would be notified and the issues
shall be resolved at the direction of the consumer.
If damage is evident and the service technician is
unable to find the source, U-Line must be contacted at

DANGER
Electrocution can cause death or serious injury.
Do not touch a bare circuit board unless you are
wearing an anti-static wrist strap that is
grounded to an electrical ground or grounded
water pipe.
Burns from hot or cold surfaces can cause
serious injury. Take precautions when servicing
this unit.
Disconnect the power source.
Handle circuit boards carefully and avoid
touching components.
To measure the start winding resistance, measure
across the C and S pins.
Do not stand in standing water when working
around electrical appliances.
To measure the run winding resistance, measure
across the C and R pins.
Make sure the surfaces you touch are not hot or
frozen.
Also check S to R and you should get the sum of the
run and start windings.

VIEWING ACTUAL TEMPERATURE
In viewing temperature in these modes any offsets
are taken into account. This means that if you place
a thermistor in a known temperature, let’s say ice
water, it may not read the 32°F that you would
assume. If the control offset was preset at -3°F while
you placed the thermistor in an icebath, the actual
thermistor reading when viewing actual temperature
would read 35°F. In the unit this would cause the
cabinet to push itself 3° cooler. To view pure
thermistor readings you must go into the service
menu and choose the correct option.
To view the thermistor temperature, push and
release the up and down keys. The display will show
the corrected refrigerator temperature.
