IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
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.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
Before installing your U-Line CLR2160 or CLRCO2175
with factory-installed U-Line P60 pump, it is extremely
important to check and test all hose connections at the
drain pump.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
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 10
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” on page
17.
Locally Installed Drain Pump:
If a gravity drain connection is not possible, and you have not
purchased a CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 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
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
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 10 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.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
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.
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.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
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-Lines 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.
