Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer: Take off the doors, leave shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. ! · Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the electricity has been disconnected. · Altering, cutting of power cord, removal of power cord, removal of power plug, or direct wiring can cause serious injury, fire and/or loss of property and/or life and will void the warranty. ! · Do not lift unit by door handle. · Use care when moving the unit. Some edges are sharp and may cause personal injury. Wear gloves when moving or positioning the unit. · Never install the unit behind closed doors. Be sure front grille is free of obstruction. Obstructing free air flow can cause the unit to malfunction, and may void the warranty. · Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before use. · Never use an ice pick or other sharp instrument to help speed up defrosting. These instruments can puncture the inner lining or damage cooling unit. · Failure to clean the condenser every three months can cause the unit to malfunction. This could void the warranty. CAUTION · Using a heater to speed up defrosting can damage the inner lining. DO NOT use any type of electrical heater to defrost. · Use only genuine U-Line replacement parts. Imitation parts can reduce ice rate, cause water to overflow from ice maker mold, damage the unit, and may void the warranty. 4 INSTALLATION SITE PREPARATION 1. Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the entire weight of the unit. Remember that the unit will be significantly heavier once it is fully loaded. Connect the unit to a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current). 2. ! DANGER ! ELECTROCUTION HAZARD! Electrical Grounding Required. This appliance is equipped with a three prong (grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards. · NEVER remove the round grounding prong from the plug. · NEVER use a two-prong grounding adapter. · NEVER use an extension cord to connect power to the unit. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered or a longer power cord is required, contact a qualified electrician to have it replaced in accordance with applicable electrical codes. 5 User's Manual NOTE Keep in mind that the door of the unit may be mounted on either side of the cabinet (see REVERSING THE DOOR). All U-Line units have a zero clearance for the door to open when the handle is on the right (see Figure 1). Additional clearance is needed for Combo Models 29A, 29FF, and 75A only, when the door handle is on the left. See BUILT-IN INSTALLATION for additional clearance requirements for these models. 3. CABINET OR WALL DOOR SWING 0" CLEARANCE NEEDED UL124 Figure 1 On Ice Maker models SP18, BI-95, BI-98 and Combo Series 29 and 75, install a 1/4 inch copper water line (not supplied with unit) from the nearest COLD water pipe. When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines: · Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit. · In most instances, the cold water supply will come from the basement through a hole in the floor. · The water pressure should be between 15 and 150 psi. · Install a SHUT-OFF VALVE in the 1/4 inch supply line. · Connect sufficient tubing to the unit to allow the unit to be moved for cleaning and servicing. However, make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation. · U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for installation. Position the unit to allow free air flow through the front grille (see Figure 2). Wipe out inside of unit and ice bucket with a damp cloth. UL005A 4. 5. Figure 2 6 CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY 1. Install the 1/4 inch copper water line from the main water source. On ice maker models BI-95 and BI-98, the water line is inserted through the hole in the rear of the unit to connect to the solenoid valve in the front (see Figure 3). POWER CORD 3. Carefully bend the water supply line into position and connect the line to the solenoid valve (see Figures 5 and 6). Avoid kinking the water supply line. WATER CONNECTION WATER LINE UL101 Figure 3 2. Locate the compression fitting and ferrule packed in the unit. Slide the compression fitting and ferrule over the 1/4 inch water supply line. Do not use thread sealing compound or tape. Using two wrenches, tighten the compression fitting on the supply line (see Figure 4). UL103 Figure 5 WATER LINE UL134 UL104 Figure 4 7 Figure 6 User's Manual 4. For recessed installations, allow extra water supply line length to provide slack for easy removal from the recessed area (see Figure 7). This will also safeguard against kinking the line. NOTE If you are not intending to use the ice maker and do not connect the water supply (or turn the supply valve off), it is imperative to raise the bin arm of the ice maker (see Figure 8). UL002A Figure 8 UL100 Figure 7 NOTE After completing the installation, turn on the water and recheck water connection for leaks. Apply additional tightening if needed. Do not use thread sealing compound or tape. NOTE On Models BI-95 and BI-98, route the water supply line through the unit in such a way as to prevent the line from coming in contact with any internal components other than the solenoid valve (see Figure 6). Normal operation creates some vibration. A water supply line contacting an internal component or cabinet wall may cause excessive noise during operation or damage to the line. 5. 6. 7. Install the grille. See GRILLE INSTALLATION. Plug in the power cord. Gently push the unit into position. If desired the unit may be recessed into cabinet or wall. 8 8. Allow at least 1-1/2 inches clearance behind the unit for electrical and water supply connections. LEVELING THE UNIT It is important that the unit, primarily the ice maker assembly, is level.

H W D UL118 Figure 31 AT LEAST 1" CLEARANCE REQUIRED IF UNIT IS INSTALLED FLUSH WITH CABINET OR WALL. 1.000 AT LEAST 9" REQUIRED IF UNIT IS INSTALLED ADJACENT TO CABINET OR WALL. 9.000 CABINET OR WALL CABINET OR WALL UL126 UL125 Figure 32 Figure 33 22 INITIAL START-UP Once installation is complete, the unit is ready for initial start-up and operation. NOTE Models BI-95 and BI-98 have the ON-OFF switch behind the front grille. A small opening in the top of the grille is provided to access the switch (see Figure 34). Some models may also turn off when the temperature control is turned all the way towards warmer until it stops (clicks). 1. 2. 3. UL503 Figure 34 Plug the appliance cord into a 115V polarized and grounded electrical outlet. Check that the ON-OFF switch in the ON position. Open the water supply valve in the main water source. As soon as the ice maker mold reaches the proper temperature, the ice maker mechanism will fill the mold with water. The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. Subsequent cubes will be of standard size. Approximate time for the first cycle is 45 minutes. Allow 2 hours for any Frostfree models. 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. Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before use. 23 User's Manual NORMAL OPERATION On units with refrigerator sections, the unit has been designed to achieve a fresh food temperature of approximately 38°F (temperature may vary due to ambient temperature). On units with ice makers, when the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue to cool and maintain the cube supply. On frost free icemaker units, ice production will be lower than on manual defrost units. Ice production may be interrupted by raising the bin arm into an upright and locked position (the unit will maintain temperature for ice storage, see Figure 36). On Combo units, the refrigerator fresh food temperature may vary during the initial manufacture of ice. It is recommended that the ice bucket be allowed to fill before placing food in the refrigerator section. The temperature control may then be adjusted as needed (allow 24 hours for temperature stabilization). UL002A Figure 36 Certain sounds are normal during the unit's operation. You may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, sounds of defrost, or ice dropping into the ice bucket. CAUTION NEVER use an ice pick, knife, or other sharp instrument to separate cubes. Shake the bucket instead. The ice bucket MUST be in place to avoid freezing products in the refrigerator section of the Combo Series 29 and 75. During periods of limited usage or high ambient temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together. Break apart cubes as necessary by shaking bucket. If ice maker is not used regularly, the ice bucket should be emptied periodically to ensure fresh cubes. 24 It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. This is caused by air being trapped in the water due to fast freezing. It has nothing to do with the health, taste or chemical make-up of the water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you drink. To provide for higher ice rate (production of more cubes), adjust the temperature control to a warmer setting. If hollow cubes result, adjust temperature somewhat colder. For less cube production, adjust to a colder setting. The ice bucket must be fully inserted in the freezer section. The ice bin door must be fully closed. For frost free models: Do not place any objects over air inlet or outlet in freezer section. For frost free models: Light frosting may occur in high humidity conditions or if the ice bucket is not pushed in completely. CHECKING TEMPERATURE To accurately check the temperature, insert an accurate thermometer into a plastic (non-breakable) bottle, partially filled with water. Tighten the bottle cap securely (see Figure 37). Place the bottle in the desired area for 24 hours. Refrain from opening the unit during the testing period. After 24 hours, check the temperature of the water. Adjust the control knob if necessary and retest. UL320 Figure 37 Make adjustments in small increments and allow unit to stabilize for 24 hours before making further adjustments. 25 User's Manual MARINE USE Many U-Line models are designed to operate in a harsh marine environment. Special considerations include the following: · For best performance, keep the unit out of direct sunlight. · On Ice Maker models, turn the unit OFF and dispose of any ice cubes if the unit will not be used for 5 days or more. Prop door open to allow for air circulation and prevent mold and mildew. Do not use antifreeze in your icemaker. · If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F, drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the warranty. · High ambient temperatures (110°F or higher) may reduce the unit's ability to reach low temperatures and may also reduce the ice production rate. ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL Models BI-95 and BI-98: Use a flat tip screwdriver to turn adjusting screw, located behind front grille, clockwise for colder (slower ice production) or counterclockwise for warmer (faster ice production). Series 15, 29 and 75: Adjust control setting by turning the numbered dial (see Figure 38). Model SP18 temperature control has been preset at the factory for optimum ice production. Do not attempt to make adjustments. CONTROL 4 5 3 6 2 7 1 UL504 Figure 38 26 ADJUSTING ICE CUBE SIZE On models equipped with an ice maker, the cube size may be adjusted by changing the amount of water injected into the ice maker assembly. 1. 2. Remove the ice maker assembly cover (see Figure 39). Locate the adjusting screw on the ice maker assembly control box. The adjusting screw is just below the minus (­) and plus (+) signs on the control box (see Figure 40). ­+ UL133 UL122 Figure 39 3. Figure 40 Turn the adjusting screw toward the minus (­) sign (clockwise) for smaller cubes or toward the plus (+) sign (counterclockwise) for larger cubes. Install the ice maker assembly cover. 4. Some units are not frost free and must be defrosted periodically. Refer to CARE AND CLEANING. CAUTION Use only genuine U-Line replacement parts. U-Line ice maker parts are not the same as standard FSP Whirlpool parts. Using non U-Line parts can reduce ice rate, cause water to overflow from ice maker mold, damage the unit, and may void the warranty. 27 User's Manual CARE AND CLEANING Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. We suggest the following: · The interior may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water. · Avoid the use of solvent cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleansers may transmit taste to the ice cubes and food, or damage or discolor the interior. · The exterior may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water. · The front grille should be kept free of dust and lint to permit free air flow to the condenser (see Figure 41). The condenser coil, located behind the front grille, should be cleaned three to four times each year. Use a brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dirt, lint and other accumulations from the condenser coil. UL005A Figure 41 ! The condenser fins are SHARP. DO NOT run hands over condenser fins. The solenoid valve inlet screen must be cleaned at least once each year as follows: 1. Shut off the water at the water supply valve. 2. Remove the entire hose connector from the solenoid valve. 3. Use a tooth brush to clean sediment from the inlet screen (see Figure 42). DO NOT remove the screen. 4. Attach the hose connector to the solenoid valve. Tighten connector securely with a pliers. Open the water supply valve and check for leakage at the hose connector. 28 UL123 Figure 42 LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT Light bulb replacement is simple. 1.

Manual defrost models should be defrosted approximately every 8 weeks. However, this interval may not be adequate in periods of high humidity or heavy usage. Defrost your unit whenever the frost thickness is 1/4" or greater. To defrost, turn the unit OFF, remove cubes and prop door open at least two inches. NOTE Frost free units will never need defrosting. Automatic defrost models do not normally require manual defrosting. However, in extremely high humidity or during periods of unusually high usage, minimal manual defrosting may be required. STORAGE If the unit is to be stored or not used for extended periods, it will be necessary to drain the system of water. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Shut off water supply at the main water source. Disconnect the water supply line from the solenoid valve. Disconnect the water line from the solenoid valve outlet.
