IMPORTANT Drain can NOT be located directly below unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow unit to drain below itself. Environmental Requirements Many U-Line models are designed to operate in harsh outdoor/marine environments. Special considerations include the following: · The units are designed to operate between 50°F (10°C) and 110°F (40°C). High ambient temperatures (110°F [40°C] or higher) may reduce the unit's ability to reach low temperatures and may also reduce the ice production rate for those models with icemakers. · If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F (7°C), drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the warranty. Figure 9 8. Holding door upright with top of door tilted forward, place hole of door pivot plate on bottom hinge screw pin (see Figure 10). 9. Tilt top of door into position in top hinge and install top hinge screw pin. 10. Install plastic screw plugs removed in Step 2 in old hinge holes (3 each, top and bottom). · For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat generating equipment. · For best performance and life outdoors, place under a counter or provide shelter of some kind. · In climates where high humidity and dew points are present, condensation may appear on outside surfaces. This is considered normal. The condensation will disappear when the humidity drops. Figure 10 www.U-LineService.com 6 08/2006 CLR2160 -- Clear Ice Maker Side-By-Side Installation Instructions For a complete refreshment center, install your CLR2160 Clear Ice Maker beside a U-Line Refrigerator, Combo, or Wine Captain Model (see Figure 11 for typical cut-out). Note that each Side-By-Side Installation will be different. · Cut-out width for a side-by-side installation is the total of the widths listed under Cut-Out Dimensions in each unit's Installation Guide. For example: Placing a CLR2160 Clear Ice Maker next to a 2115 series unit would require a cut-out width of: 15-3/16" + 15-3/16" = 30-3/8" Placing a CLR2160 Clear Ice Maker next to a 2175 series unit would require a cut-out width of: 15-3/16" + 24-3/16" = 39-3/8" · No trim kit is required. However, 1/4-inch space needs to be maintained between the units to ensure unobstructed door swing. · Units must operate from separate, properly grounded electrical receptacles placed according to each unit's Electrical Specifications. Typical Side-By-Side Cut-Out 4 Prepare and Install Door Panel (Black and White Units Only) Two types of custom door panels can be installed on your Black or White unit to harmonize with or accent the surrounding décor: a Custom 1/4" Insert or a Full Overlay.

Attach the 5/8-inch ID drain connection on the back of the unit to a 5/8-inch OD rigid tube, using a worm clamp. 2. Attach the other end of the rigid tube to your 5/8-inch ID drain line with a worm clamp. 3. Insulate the drain line, if necessary to prevent condensation. Go on to Water Supply Connection. 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. 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 41). However, make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation. Note: U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for installation. The use of other types of tubing is not recommended due to potential aftertaste & deterioration over time. To connect to water supply: 1. Install the 1/4 inch OD copper water line from the main water source (see Figure 38). Locally-Installed Drain Pump If a gravity drain connection is not possible, and you have not purchased the CLR2160 with factory-installed pump, we strongly recommend 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 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. · 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). Water Connection Figure 38 Figure 39 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 39). 08/2006 15 www.U-LineService.com CLR2160 -- Clear Ice Maker 3. Carefully bend the water supply line into position and connect the line to the solenoid valve (see Figure 40). Avoid kinking the water supply line. 7 Prepare Power Supply Electrical Specifications CAUTION Electrical installation must observe all state and local codes. This unit requires connection to a grounded (threeprong), 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. GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter) is usually not required for fixed location appliances and is not recommended for your unit because a GFCI could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be sure to consult your local codes. See Figure 42 for recommended receptacle location. Plugging the unit into a receptacle located behind an adjacent cabinet will allow the CLR2160 to be more easily serviced with self-diagnostics without disturbing your installation. Water Line Power Cord Figure 40 Figure 41 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 41). This will also safeguard against kinking the line. 5. Go on to 7 Prepare Power Supply. Preferred Location for CLR2160 Receptacle Acceptable Location 24" 7" 1" Figure 42 WARNING SHOCK HAZARD -- Electrical Grounding Required. · Never remove the round grounding prong from the plug and never use a two-prong grounding adapter. · Never use an extension cord to connect power to the unit. Go on to 8 Level the Unit. www.U-LineService.com 16 08/2006 CLR2160 -- Clear Ice Maker 8 Level the Unit 2. If the ice maker is not level, adjust the feet on the corners of the unit as necessary (see Figure 45). Leveling Information IMPORTANT It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. A unit that is not level 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 (see Figure 43). Remember that floors near drains have a tendency to slope towards the drain. 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 44). 1 Turn Foot to Adjust Figure 45 3. Check the levelness after each adjustment and repeat the previous steps until the unit is level. Go on to 9 Install the Unit. Figure 43 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. Figure 44 ULIN_0043_A 08/2006 17 www.U-LineService.com CLR2160 -- Clear Ice Maker 9 Install the Unit Installation Troubleshooting Installation of the CLR2160 1. Open the water supply valve in the main water source. 2. Plug in the power cord. 3. Open the door and press the POWER icon (see Figure 46, 1) on the display panel until OFF is displayed. Note: If the unit is NOT turned OFF, water will immediately start flowing into the unit when it is first plugged into the electrical outlet. 4. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not to kink the drain or water supply line or entangle the electrical cord. 5. 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" below the countertop. 6. Test the drain system by pouring one gallon of water into the ice bin. The water should drain freely and there should be no leakage. 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. Make sure the fill tube's connection to the water line is also tight. Check drain line to make sure it has not been disconnected from drain connection on back of the unit or disconnected from the drain. 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 First, make sure that the electrical cord and water supply line are not obstructing the installation. If they are not, there is mostly likely not enough room allowed for the drain connection on the rear of the unit. You may need to alter the wall behind the unit to accommodate the drain connection. www.U-LineService.com 18 08/2006 CLR2160 -- Clear Ice Maker 10 Start-Up for the First Time Start-Up Troubleshooting Initial Start-Up Once installation and leveling is complete, the unit is ready for initial start-up and operation. The Display panel is located inside the unit, on the top (see Figure 46). Q: Problem Unit does not appear to turn on when Power icon is pressed. A: Solution Remember that the compressor will not operate until the water has been filling for about 3 minutes. Make sure unit is plugged in and outlet has power (circuit breaker has not tripped). If the unit is equipped with a drain pump, check that the drain line is not obstructed -- unit will shut down due to the safety design of the pump if water cannot drain. 1 2 3 4 5 ULIN_0058_A Figure 46 1. Open the door and remove the cover in front of the evaporator by gently compressing and pulling forward. This will enable you to observe the water flow over the evaporator. 2. Check that the overflow tube is inserted securely into the water trough. 3. Press the POWER icon (Figure 46, 1)and hold for approximately five seconds until the °F symbol flashes and release. The water fill valve will energize and fill the water reservoir. The water fill valve shuts off after approximately 180 seconds (3 minutes). The compressor begins to operate. 4. Watch the water flow over the evaporator assembly (ice cube tray) to familiarize yourself with the operation. 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 24 hours of operation. 5. Replace the evaporator cover. 6. Allow unit to run for at least 24 hours to stabilize before making any ice adjustments. Q: Problem Water does not appear to be flowing into unit. A: Solution Check that the water is connected and turned on, the line is not obstructed and the overflow tube is inserted securely into water trough. Q: Problem The unit has been operating for 24 hours and water is still not flowing evenly over evaporator. A: Solution Level unit for even water flow. Uneven water flow will reduce ice rate and cause water to spill in ice bin. IMPORTANT See the Use and Care Guide's Troubleshooting Guide for more solutions. IMPORTANT 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.
