Tools/Materials Required · Screwdrivers -- slotted and Phillips head · 1/4-inch OD copper tubing and shut-off valve for water supply line CAUTION · Use care when moving and handling the unit. Use gloves to prevent personal injury from sharp edges. · Do not lift the unit by the door or door handle. · Do not install the unit behind closed doors or in any way that would obstruct airflow to the front grille, which may cause the unit to malfunction. Inspection Unwrap and inspect the unit on a flat, level surface capable of supporting its entire weight. Exterior Cleaning (As Required) Black and White Models: Black and white surfaces may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solventbased or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting. 02/2005 3 www.U-LineService.com SP18 Ice Maker 3 Prepare Site Your U-Line product has been designed for 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 and electrical connections in the rear. Note: Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet door.

U-Line recommends a minimum door clearance of 3/4" to accommodate the flange if the unit is right-hand hinged and installed next to a wall or similar type of structure. Wall 3/4" Min. 3/4" Minimum Flange Mounting Area 14-1/16" Cut-Out Width 15-3/16" Minimum Opening Toe Kick 22" 15-1/8" Figure 1 Follow the cut-out drawing in Figure 1. The unit must sit in a frame structure with a frame thick enough to accommodate mounting the 1/2" flange to its sides and top and a base high enough to align the door with other cabinet doors. Make the frame's inside dimensions 1/4" larger than the cabinet's dimensions (without flange) for ease in installation and removal of the unit. 24" is the counter depth in most installations. 26-5/16" depth includes the door, handle and water line connection (see Figure 2). 15-1/2" 90° Door Swing Figure 3 IMPORTANT It is extremely important that the unit sits on a level surface, as it does not have feet levelers. If it is not level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. www.U-LineService.com 4 02/2005 SP18 Ice Maker Reversing the Door All units may be left- or right-hand opening. To reverse the door: 1. Remove travel pin from cabinet (two screws). See Figure 4. Slide assembly through flange and set aside to be used later. 2. Remove top hinge from cabinet (three screws). See Figure 5. Hold door to keep it from falling. Slide hinge through flange. 3. Lift the door off the bottom hinge. Figure 4 Figure 7 Figure 8 5. Install hinge on opposite side, bottom of cabinet. See Figure 8. Replace nut on back side where installed. Align hinge outer edge with cabinet before tightening screws. 6.

Remove pivot screw from top hinge, invert screw and reinstall pivot screw in top hinge. See Figure 10. 02/2005 5 www.U-LineService.com SP18 Ice Maker Other Site Requirements Power Supply The unit requires a grounded and polarized 110/115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current) or 220/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz. See Electrical Specifications on Page 8. Water Supply The unit requires a 1/4-inch OD water supply line and a shut-off valve. For more information see Page 7. Environmental Requirements Figure 11 Figure 12 The surrounding air temperature must be at least 45°F (7°C) but must not exceed 110°F (40°C). Units may be installed outdoors in a covered area. The unit must not be located near heat-generating equipment or in direct sunlight. 9. Gently slide upper hinge through flange and fasten upper hinge to unit (three screws). Partially tighten screws. See Figure 11. 10. Place door on lower hinge pin. 11. Align door pivot hole with pivot hole in upper hinge and insert pivot screw into upper hinge and tighten securely. See Figure 12. 12. Adjust door to assure proper seal. Tighten upper and lower hinge screws securely. 13. Gently slide travel pin assembly through flange and then fasten Figure 13 to unit. Make sure travel pin in door engages the closer in the assembly, then tighten screws on travel pin assembly securely. See Figure 13. www.U-LineService.com 6 02/2005 SP18 Ice Maker 4 Adjust Door 5 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. Checking Door Alignment The unit's door is aligned at the factory before shipment. However, its alignment could have been disturbed during shipment. IMPORTANT Properly aligned, the door's gasket should be firmly in contact with the cabinet all the way around the door (no gaps). 1. Carefully examine the door's gasket to assure that it is firmly in contact with the cabinet. Note: When inspecting door alignment, make sure the door gasket is not pinched on the hinge side of the door. 2. If the door is properly aligned, go on to 5 Prepare Plumbing. If it is not, use the following procedure. 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 Note: Water temperature from source will affect ice production. U-Line recommends room temperature or colder water be used. When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines: · Review any applicable 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 17). 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. Adjusting Door Alignment 1. Loosen (do not remove) top and bottom hinge screws. See Figure 14. 2. Align door squarely with cabinet. Make sure gasket is firmly in contact with cabinet all the way around the door (no gaps). 3. Tighten bottom hinge screws. 4. Tighten top hinge screws. Go on to 5 Prepare Plumbing. Figure 14 02/2005 7 www.U-LineService.com SP18 Ice Maker 6 Prepare Power Supply Water Line 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. Figure 15 Figure 16 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 15). 3. Carefully bend the water supply line into position and connect the line to the solenoid valve (see Figure 16). Avoid kinking the water supply line. The unit requires a grounded and polarized 110/115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15A power supply (normal household current) or a 220/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz power supply. 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 18 for recommended receptacle location. 26-5/16" Minimum 7" 1-1/2" Figure 17 IMPORTANT Route the water supply line through the unit so it does not come into contact with any internal components other than the solenoid valve. See Figure 17. Normal operation creates some vibration. A water supply line contacting an internal component or cabinet wall can 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 17). This will also safeguard against ...
