Features and specifications are subject to change without notice. Figure 2 IMPORTANT Proper air flow (Figure 2) is required for your unit to operate at its highest efficiently. A grille, located in the base of the unit, must not be blocked at any time, or your unit will not perform as expected. Initial Startup All U-Line units are shipped with controls that are preset. No initial adjustments are required. IMPORTANT · U-Line recommends the unit be allowed to run overnight prior to loading the refrigerator and/or freezer with product. · On ice maker equipped units, 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.
