U-Line Water Hookup Kit Connection:
Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical supply to
unit prior to attempting installation.
1. Locate the desired cold water supply location.
2. Attach the garden hose connection from the kit to the rear of
the unit using 2 pliers.
3. Attach the braided line to this location and route the tubing to
the appliance. Leave approximately 4' of water line to be coiled
behind the appliance. The water line should be looped into 2
coils. This will allow the line to flex when removing the unit for
cleaning and servicing. Do not kink or pinch the coiled line.
4. Turn on water supply and check for leaks.
Drain Connection:
CAUTION
!
If your U-Line unit did not come with a factory installed
drain pump you must use a gravity style drain connection.
For assistance in determining if your unit has a pump
please contact U-Line. The floor drain must be large
enough to accommodate drainage from all attached
drains. Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines
to prevent water from flowing back into the ice maker
storage bin and/or potentially flowing onto the floor, which
may result in personal injury or property damage.
NOTICE
Drain can NOT be located directly below the unit. Unit
has a solid base that will not allow the unit to drain below
itself.
NOTICE
There is a possibility that hose connections may have
loosened during shipment.
Gravity Drain:
A gravity drain may be used if:
• Drain line has at least a 1" drop per 48" of run (1/4" per foot).
• Drain line does not create traps and is vented per local code.
1. Cut the pre-installed drain tube to length.
2. Connect to your local plumbing per the local code.
3. If necessary, insulate drain line to prevent condensation.
4. Test the drain system per the test procedure under “Final
Installation” on page
