Exterior Cleaning

Black and White Models

• Black and White surfaces may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting.

Stainless Models

• Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with bleach.
• Keep your Stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. For best results use Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line Corporation (Part numbers 173348). Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning on a weekly basis.
• Do not clean with steel wool or abrasive pads.
• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically intended for stainless steel on stainless surfaces (this includes glass, tile and counter cleaners).
• If any surface discolors or rust appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction of the grain. Always finish this process with Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further problems.

Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible.

Prepare Site

Your U-Line product has been designed for either free-standing or 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 an electrical connection in the rear.

• Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet door.
• If you would like to align the face of the unit with other adjacent cabinet doors, you may need to alter the wall just behind the drain connection on the unit to accommodate the drain.

Cut-Out Dimensions

(CLR)CO21 & CO11 Series

Follow the cut-out drawing. The 24-1/4" width allows 1/4" for ease in installation and removal of the unit. 24" is the cabinet depth in most installations.

CLR2160 Series

Follow the cut-out drawing The 15-1/4" width allows 1/4" for ease in installation and removal of the unit. 24" is the cabinet depth in most installations.

CO29 Series

It is extremely important that this 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.

Product Dimensions

Door Swing Dimensions

All units have a zero clearance for the door to open 90°. U-Line recommends a minimum door clearance of 2" to accommodate the handle if the unit is installed next to a wall.

Other Site Requirements

Side-By-Side Installation

For a complete refreshment center, install two units side by side:

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. 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 Requirements

Power Supply

The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current). See Electrical Specifications.

Water Supply

The unit requires a 1/4" O.D. soft copper supply line, or flexible water supply kit from U-Line (Part No. WATERHOOKUP).

Drain

The CLR2160 & CLRCO2175 require access to either a gravity or pump fed drain.

Environmental Requirements

The units are designed to operate between 50°F (10°C) and 100°F (37°C). High ambient temperatures (100°F [37°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 ice makers. If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F (7°C), drain all water from the unit to prevent freezing damage, which is not covered by the warranty. 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 evaporate when the humidity drops.

Prepare Power Supply

Electrical Specifications

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.

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.

Receptacle Location

See below for recommended receptacle location

Prepare Plumbing

Plumbing installation must observe all state and local codes. All water and drain connections MUST BE made by a licensed/qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to follow recommendations and instructions may result in damage and/or 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.
• The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the 1/4" O.D. supply line.
• Leave approximately 8' of water line to be coiled behind the appliance. The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing. However, make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation.

U-Line requires the use of copper tubing for installation. Do not use any plastic water supply line. The line is under pressure at all times. Plastic may crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.

To connect to water supply:

1. Locate the desired cold water supply location. Attach a 1/4" copper line to this location and route the tubing to the appliance. Leave approximately 8' of water line to be coiled behind the appliance. The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the line to flex when removing the unit for cleaning and servicing.
   
2. Locate the U-Line supplied garden hose fitting. Ensure the end of the copper tubing has been cut straight and free of burrs. Slide the compression nut and ferrule onto the copper tubing as shown. Push the assembly completely into the garden hose fitting and tighten using the two wrenches.
   

Drain Connection (CLR2160 CLRCO2175)

• Drain can NOT be located directly below unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow the unit to drain below itself.
• We strongly recommend the use of a U-Line drain kit for both gravity & pump installations. A complete drain kit containing all the items needed to connect your unit are available from your dealer. Part No. U-CLRDRAINKIT.
• Longer drain connections may require additional drain hose lengths. Additional drain line can be purchased from your dealer or directly from McMaster-Carr. (McMaster-Carr # 52375K35)

The CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 can be installed using a Gravity Drain, a Factory-Installed Drain Pump (U-Line P60) or a LocallyInstalled (U-Line P60) Drain Pump. Drain lines must have a 5/8" inside diameter. The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all attached drains.

Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent water from flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/or potentially flowing onto the floor, causing water damage:

Gravity Drain

A Gravity Drain may be used if:

• Drain line has at least a 1-inch drop per 48 inches of run (1/4 inch per foot).
  
• Drain line does not create traps or created traps are vented. Drain Fitting fromBack of Unit

If using a Gravity Drain:

1. Slide 2 hose clamps onto the drain connection on the rear of the appliance.
2. Insert the barbed fitting halfway into this connection.
3. On the other end of this barbed fitting attach the 5/8" braided tubing.
4. Slide a clamp on each side of the barbed fitting as shown (see Figure 39).
5. Insulate the drain line, if necessary to prevent condensation.

Factory-Installed Drain Pump

If your drain line will run up to a stand pipe, disposal or spigot assembly, or does not otherwise meet the requirements for a Gravity Drain, you may have ordered the CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 with a U-Line P60 Drain Pump. See Below for typical installations requiring a Drain Pump. If you need to install a P60 Drain Pump into your unit, see Locally-Installed Drain Pump.

Typical Installations Requiring a Drain Pump

Before installing your U-Line CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 with Factory-Installed U-Line P60 Pump, it is extremely important to check and test all hose connections at the drain pump. There is a possibility that hose connections may have loosened during shipment.

To check and test hose connections:

1. Make certain the unit is not plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Carefully push the power cord grommet through the hole in the back panel.
3. Remove 12 screws and back panel.
   
   
   Back panel serves as a guard. DO NOT put your hands inside the ice maker cabinet or attempt to touch any components except the discharge tube during testing.
4. Check that the clamps and hose connections are tight at the following areas:
   • Discharge tube (A)
   • Drain tube (B)
   • Vent tube (C)
     
5. Place a suitable container beneath the pump's discharge tube. (The bucket must be able to hold a minimum of one gallon.)
6. Plug the ice maker power cord into a properly grounded, polarized electrical outlet.
7. Place the unit into OFF mode by holding power key for 10 seconds. Not doing this will cause the unit to start the fill cycle which will run for 3 minutes.
8. Verify pump operation by pouring one gallon of water into the ice storage bin of the ice maker. The pump should energize and pump the water into the container.
9. At this time, verify that all tube and clamp connections are tight and leak-free.
10. Unplug unit power cord from electrical outlet.
11. Reinstall back panel.

To connect to drain:

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.

1. Slide 2 hose clamps onto the drain connection on the rear of the appliance.
2. Insert the barbed fitting halfway into this connection.
3. On the other end of this barbed fitting attach the 5/8" braided tubing.
4. Slide a clamp on each side of the barbed fitting as shown (see Figure 45).
5. Insulate the drain line, if necessary to prevent condensation.

Locally-Installed Drain Pump

If a gravity drain connection is not possible, and you have not purchased a CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 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, with complete installation instructions. If a pump other than the ULine 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).

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.

Final Water Connection

1. Connect the water supply fitting by screwing the brass garden hose fitting to the water valve in the rear of the unit.
2. Tighten this fitting with pliers.
   
   Do not use Teflon tape or joint compound on this fitting. The rubber washer provides an adequate seal. Other materials could cause blockage of the valve.
   
3. Attach the copper water line to the back of the unit using the supplied clamp and the back panel screw (see above). This will prevent rotation of the line when moving the unit.
4. Plug in the unit and put unit into OFF mode by holding the power key for 10 seconds. Not doing this will cause the unit to fill with water for 3 minutes.
5. Turn on the water supply and ensure the connections are free of leaks.
6. Begin to push the appliance into the desired cabinet opening. The copper tubing should remain in 2 coils behind the unit.
   
   Normal operation creates some vibration. A water supply line contacting cabinet wall may cause excessive noise during operation or damage to the line.
7. While pushing the unit into the opening, continuously reroute the drain tube (if installed) to avoid kinks. The most common installation pulls the slack into an adjacent cabinet or basement area.

Level The Unit

Leveling Information

It is recommended that the unit is level.

1. Use a level to check the levelness of the unit from front to back and from side to side. Level should be placed along top edge and side edge as shown
   
2. If the unit is not level, adjust the feet on the corners of the unit as necessary (not available in CO29 models).
   
3. Check the levelness after each adjustment and repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.

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.

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
Make sure that the electrical cord and water supply line are not obstructing the installation.
