Drain Connection. U-Line CLRCO2175, Echelon CLR2160

Drain Connection

Drain can NOT be located directly below unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow unit to drain below itself.

The CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 can be installed using a

Gravity Drain, a Factory-Installed Drain Pump (U-Line P60) or a Locally-Installed (U-Line P60) Drain Pump. Drain lines must have a 5/8” inside diameter. The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all attached drains.

Note: We strongly recommend the use of the U-Line

CLRDRAINKIT for both gravity & pump installations.

Depending on your model, your unit may have been packaged with this kit. A complete drain kit containing all the items needed to connect your unit is available from your dealer if your unit was not packaged with this. Order

Part No. U-CLRDRAINKIT.

Note: Longer drain connections may require additional drain hose lengths. Additional drain line can be purchased from your dealer or directly from McMaster-Carr.

(McMaster-Carr # 52375K35)

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, causing water damage:

Gravity Drain

A Gravity Drain may be used if:

• Drain line has at least a 1-inch drop per 48 inches of run (1/4 inch per foot).

• Drain line does not create traps or created traps are vented (Figure 3).

If using a Gravity Drain:

1. Slide 2 hose clamps onto the drain connection on the rear of the appliance.

2. Insert the barbed fitting halfway into this connection.

3. On the other end of this barbed fitting attach the 5/8” braided tubing.

4. Slide a clamp on each side of the barbed fitting as shown (Figure 5).

5. Insulate the drain line, if necessary to prevent condensation. Go on to Final Water/Drain Connection

Factory-Installed Drain Pump

If your drain line will run up to a stand pipe, disposal assembly or spigot assembly or does not otherwise meet the requirements for a Gravity Drain, you may have ordered the CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 with a U-Line P60

Drain Pump. See Figures 8, 9 and 10 for typical installations requiring a Drain Pump. If you need to install a P60 Drain Pump into your unit, see Locally-Installed

Drain Pump on Page 6.

4. Check that the clamps and hose connections are tight at the following areas (Figure 7):

• Discharge tube (A)

• Drain tube (B)

• Vent tube (C)

Before installing your U-Line CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 with Factory-Installed U-Line P60 Pump, it is extremely important to check and test all hose connections at the drain pump. There is a possibility that hose connections may have loosened during shipment.

To check and test hose connections:

1. Make certain the unit is not plugged into an electrical outlet.

2. Carefully push the power cord grommet through the hole in the back panel (Figure 6, CLRCO2175 shown).

WARNING

Back panel serves as a guard. DO NOT put your hands inside the ice maker cabinet or attempt to touch any components except the discharge tube during testing. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or death.

5. Place a suitable container beneath the pump’s discharge tube. (The bucket must be able to hold a minimum of one gallon.)

6. Plug the ice maker power cord into a properly grounded, polarized electrical outlet.

7. Place the unit into OFF mode by holding power key for

10 seconds. Not doing this will cause the unit to start the fill cycle which will run for 3 minutes.

8. Verify pump operation by pouring one gallon of water into the ice storage bin of the ice maker. The pump should energize and pump the water into the container.

9. At this time, verify that all tube and clamp connections are tight and leak-free.

10. Unplug unit power cord from electrical outlet.

11. Reinstall back panel.

Locally-Installed Drain Pump

If a gravity drain connection is not possible, and you have not purchased a CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 with factoryinstalled pump, we strongly recommend the use of the

U-Line P60 drain pump. The U-Line P60 drain pump is available through your Dealer, 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 1.5 gallons per minute 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.

6 CLR2160, CLRCO2175

• 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).

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.
