CONTROL SETTINGS - COMBO/ICE MAKER Models BI 2015 and 2075FF are turned ON with the ON/OFF switch recessed in the front grille (see Figure 21). In these units, the control dial is used only for tem- perature control. 1. Plug the appliance cord into a 115V polarized and grounded elec- trical outlet.
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. Those units with a freezer section are designed to have a freezer temperature of approximately 0°F. On units with ice makers, when the ice buck- et is full, the ice making mechanism will shut off.
The ice bin door must be fully closed with the door lip inside the ice bucket. 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 condi- tions or if the ice bucket is not pushed in completely.
User’s Manual OUTDOOR & MARINE USE Many U-Line models are designed to operate in harsh outdoor/marine environments. 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.
For best results use Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be purchased from U-Line Corporation. (Part number 173348/$7.99 plus shipping and handling.) Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations will require cleaning on a weekly basis.
Page 24
User’s Manual • USE OF ABRASIVE PADS SUCH AS SCOTCHBRITE WILL CAUSE THE GRAINING IN THE STAINLESS TO BECOME BLURRED. • Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the surface of the stainless steel and become impossible to remove. Stainless steel models exposed to chlorine gas and mois- ture, such as areas with spas or swimming pools, may have some discoloration of the stainless steel.
Page 25
• DO NOT use solvent cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior. These cleansers may transmit taste to the ice cubes, or damage or discolor the interior. CONDENSER CLEANING - EVERY 3 MONTHS Disconnect electric power to the unit before cleaning the condenser.
