Ice Machines
NOTICE
The maximum lift for the P60 drain pump is 10 feet. This
must be done as close to the rear of the unit as possible.
NOTICE
Before installing your U-Line 3018CLR with factory-installed
U-Line P60 pump, it is extremely important to check and
test all hose connections at the drain pump.
NOTICE
There is a possibility that hose connections may have
loosened during shipment.
Test Hose Connections:
1. Place a suitable container beneath the pump’s discharge tube. The
container must be able to hold a minimum of one gallon.
2. Plug the ice maker power cord into a properly grounded, polarized
electrical outlet.
3. Place the unit into OFF mode by holding the power key for 5
seconds. Failure to power down the ice maker will cause it to begin
a fill cycle which will run for 3 minutes.
4. 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.
5. At this time, verify that all tube and clamp connections are tight
and leak-free.
6. Unplug unit power cord from electrical outlet.
Drain Connection
WARNING
!
To prevent accidental electrocution and / or slipping,
make certain the floor surfaces surrounding the unit are
dry at all times.
1. Route pre-installed drain tube and cut to length. Connect to local
plumbing per code. Common fittings and clamps have been
included for your convenience. Avoid dips or sags in the drain line
and ensure the maximum lift is under 10'.
2. Insulate the drain line, if necessary to prevent condensation.
3. Test the drain system per the test procedure under Final
Installation.
Locally Installed Drain Pump:
If a gravity drain connection is not possible, and you have not
purchased a 3018CLR without a 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.
Final Installation
NOTICE
In the event of a power outage, restricted drain or pump
failure, the failure to use the U-Line P60 drain pump could
result in substantial water leakage and pooling with severe
and costly water damage and related consequential
damages and harm.
1. Plug in unit and put into OFF mode by holding the power key for
5 seconds.
2. Turn on the water supply and ensure the connections are free of
leaks.
3. Pour 1 gallon of water into the bin and ensure all the connections
and fittings are free from leaks.
4. Begin to push the appliance into the desired cabinet opening. The
copper tubing should remain in 2 coils behind the unit.
NOTICE
Normal operation creates some vibration. A water supply
line contacting the cabinet may cause excessive noise during
operation, or damage the line. Make certain the water line is
not in contact with the cabinet and is routed using the pre-
installed clips.
5. While pushing the unit into the opening, continuously reroute the
drain tube and water line to avoid kinks. The most common
installation pulls the slack into an adjacent cabinet or basement
area.
6. When installation is complete and unit is secured in the opening,
pour 1 gallon of water into the unit and ensure the water drains
from the bin and there is no water leakage in and around product.
NOTICE
Failure to properly perform the installation of water supply
and drainage connections may result in water leakage, which
can damage the unit, damage other property and result in
personal injury through electrocution and/or slips and falls.
As a result, failure to properly install and connect the water
supply and drainage connections shall serve to void U-Line’s
warranty on the supplied equipment. In no event shall
U-Line be responsible for direct, indirect, incidental,
consequential or any other damage arising from improper
water supply and drain installation and/or connections.
