34 Service Information
3. Your U-Line icemaker requires a drain connection. This
unit can be purchased with or without a factory-
installed drain pump. If a pump is not installed in
the appliance you must use the gravity drain
style installation OR install a pump per the
installation instructions found on www.U-Line.com.
4. Slide two hose clamps onto the drain connection on the
rear of the appliance. Insert the barbed fitting half-way
into this connection. On the other end of the barbed
fitting attach the 5/8" braided tubing. Slide a clamp
onto each side of the barbed fitting as shown (Figures
11 and 12).

5. Determine the location of your drain and begin to
route the drain tubing in that direction. If using the
gravity drain option you must provide 1/4" drop every
foot of line. For drain pump application you must not
go higher than 10 feet of lift. The lift should be made
vertically at the beginning of the drain line. After the
lift try and provide 1/4" drop every foot of line to the
drain location.
6. Connect the water supply fitting by screwing the brass
garden hose fitting to the water valve in the rear of the
unit. Tighten this fitting with a pliers. Do not use Teflon
tape or joint compound on the fitting. The rubber
washer provides an adequate seal. Other materials
could cause blockage of the valve. The copper water
line should now be clamped to the rear of the unit to
prevent rotation when sliding in. Remove the clamp
from the unit, slide the tube into it and reattach using
the 1/4" nut driver as shown (Figures 11 and 12).
7. Plug in the unit and put the unit into OFF mode by
holding the power key for 10 seconds. Not doing this
will cause the unit to fill with water for three minutes.
8. Turn on the water supply and ensure the connections
are free of leaks.
9. Begin to push the appliance into the desired cabinet
opening. The copper tubing should remain in two coils
behind the unit. While pushing the unit into the
opening continuously reroute the drain tube to avoid
kinks. The most common installation pulls the slack into
an adjacent cabinet or basement area. Again, if
installing a gravity drain, ensure you provide proper
slope.
10. Once pushed completely into the opening finish routing
the drain tubing to the desired location. Common
installations use a floor drain, standpipe, garbage
disposal, or Y-branch tailpiece-type drain connection
(Figures 13-16). After the installation is complete,
check the unit to ensure it is level both side to side and
