U-Line Electrical / Plumbing Specfications

To connect to drain:
WARNING
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 U-
Line 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).
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
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.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
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.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
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.
