  • Page 26: Normal Operation

    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 (temperature may vary due to ambient temperature). On units with ice makers, when the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will shut off.
  • Page 27 It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. This is caused by air being trapped in the water due to fast freezing. It has nothing to do with the health, taste or chemical make-up of the water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you drink.

  • Page 28: Marine Use

    User’s Manual Many U-Line models are designed to operate in a harsh marine environment. 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.

  • Page 29: Adjusting Ice Cube Size

    Use only genuine U-Line replacement parts. U-Line ice maker parts are not the same as standard FSP Whirlpool parts. Using non U-Line parts can reduce ice rate, cause water to overflow from ice maker mold, damage the unit, and may void the warranty.

    User’s Manual CARE AND CLEANING Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance will ensure efficiency, top performance, and long life. We suggest the following: • The interior may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water. • Avoid the use of solvent cleaning agents or abrasives on the interior.
