Figure 15 www.U-LineService.com 8 02/2005 CO29A and CO29FF Ice Maker/Refrigerators 7 Prepare Power Supply Electrical Specifications CAUTION Water Connection 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 19 for recommended receptacle location. Figure 16 Figure 17 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 16). 3. Carefully bend the water supply line into position and connect the line to the solenoid valve (see Figure 17). Avoid kinking the water supply line. 24" Minimum 7" Figure 18 Figure 19 1-1/2" 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 18). This will also safeguard against kinking the line. 5. Go on to 7 Prepare Power Supply. 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.
