Page 6: Safety Precautions
User’s Manual SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Do not attempt to install or operate your unit until you have read the safety precautions in this manual. Safety items throughout this manual are labeled with a Danger, Warning or Caution based on the risk type. DEFINITIONS This is the safety alert symbol. - Page 7 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old refrigerator or freezer, take off the doors and leave shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside. • Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the electricity has been disconnected.
- Page 8 DO NOT use any type of electrical heater to defrost. • Use only genuine U-Line replacement parts. Imitation parts can reduce ice rate, cause water to overflow from ice maker mold, damage the unit, and may void the warranty.

Page 9: Installation
SITE PREPARATION Your U-Line product is designed to be installed in a wall or under a counter or freestanding. The 75 BEV must be ordered for right or left hand door. The 75 BEV doors are not reversible. Any reference to revers- ing the door, does not apply to the 75 BEV. - Page 10 8. Connect the water supply line. See CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY for installation requirements. These U-Line products are designed so they can be installed next to a wall on either side (Figure 1). DANGER CABINET...
- Page 11 Keep in mind that the door of the unit may be mounted on either side of the cabinet (see REVERSING THE DOOR) except for the 75 BEV. All U-Line units have a zero clear- ance for the door to open when the hinge is on the right, except for Stainless Steel Doors.

Page 12: Leveling The Unit
User’s Manual LEVELING THE UNIT It is important that these units, primarily the ice maker assembly and 75 BEV are level. All 75 and 15 Series units are equipped with adjustable feet for leveling and height adjustment (Figure 3). All other units have rubber feet. - Page 13 4. Place the unit in position where it is to be installed. Re-check cabinet height and levelness (Figure 4) and adjust if necessary. LEVEL TWO PLACES TURN FOOT TO ADJUST Figure 3 Figure 4 UL105 UL135...

However, make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation. • U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for installation. On BI-95 and BI-98 models, the water line is inserted through the hole in the rear of the unit to connect to the solenoid valve in the front (Figure 5). - Page 15 1. Locate the compression fitting and ferrule packed in the unit. Slide the compression fitting and ferrule over the 1/4" outside diameter water supply line. Do not use thread sealing com- pound or tape. Using two wrenches, tighten the compres- sion fitting on the supply line (see Figure 6).
- Page 16 User’s Manual WATER LINE UL104 Figure 9 NOTE On BI-95 and BI-98 models, route the water supply line through the unit so it does not come into contact with any internal components other than the solenoid valve (Figure 9). Normal operation creates some vibration. A water supply line contacting an internal component or cabinet wall can cause excessive noise during operation or damage to the line.

Page 36: Initial Start-Up And Adjusting The Temperature Control
INITIAL START-UP AND ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL U-Line recommends the unit be allowed to run overnight and make ice on ice-maker models prior to loading with product. It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water line. -
Page 37: Temperature Control
Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before use. 4. Open the water supply valve in the main water source. As soon as the ice maker mold reaches the proper temperature, the ice maker mechanism will fill the mold with water. The first cubes may be small because of air in the water line. - Page 38 User’s Manual Factors which affect the internal temperatures of the cabinet include: 1. Temperature setting. 2. Room temperature where used or installed. 3. Number of times the door is opened and closed. 4. Amount of time the internal light is illuminated. This affects primarily wines on the top racks.

Page 39: Normal Operation
NORMAL OPERATION On units with refrigerator sections, the unit has been designed to achieve a fresh food temperature of approximately 38°F. Units with with a freezer section (ice maker) are designed to have a freezer temperature of approximately 15°F. On units with ice makers, when the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will shut off. - Page 40 User’s Manual If ice maker is not used regularly, the ice bucket should be emptied periodically to ensure fresh cubes. 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.
-
Page 41: Marine Use
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 five days or more. -
Page 42: Adjusting Ice Cube Size
User’s Manual ADJUSTING ICE CUBE SIZE On models equipped with an ice maker, the cube size may be adjusted by changing the amount of water injected into the ice maker assembly. 1. Remove the ice maker assembly cover (Figure 39). 2. -
Page 43: Light Switch And Bulb
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. 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. -
