First Use
All U-Line controls are preset at the factory. Initial startup 
requires no adjustments. 
NOTICE
U-Line recommends allowing the unit to run 
overnight before loading with product.
U-Line recommends discarding the ice produced 
during the first two to three hours of operation 
to avoid possible dirt or scale that may dislodge 
from the water line.
When plugged in, the unit will begin operating under the 
factory default settings. If the unit was turned off during 
installation, simply press   and the unit will immediately 
switch on. To turn the unit off, press   and hold for 5 
seconds and release.

ICE MAKER OPERATION
When the ice bucket is full, the ice making mechanism will 
shut off. However, the refrigeration system will continue 
to cool and maintain the ice supply.
NOTICE
Do not place cans or bottles in the ice 
compartment because they will freeze.
To turn off ice production: Raise the bin arm into 
an upright and locked position. The unit will preserve 
temperature for ice storage. 
NOTICE
If not intending to use the ice maker, turn the 
water supply valve off. It is also important to 
raise the bin arm of the ice maker (see above). 
Failure to raise the bin arm may result in damage 
to the water valve.
Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You 
may hear the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, 
or ice dropping into the ice bucket.
CAUTION
!
NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp 
instrument to separate cubes. Shake the ice 
bucket instead.
During periods of limited use or high ambient 
temperatures, it is common for cubes to fuse together. 
Gently shake the bucket to break apart cubes. If not using 
the ice maker regularly, empty the ice bucket periodically 
to ensure fresh cubes.
It is normal for cubes to appear cloudy. The cause is air 
trapped in the water because of fast freezing. It is not 
caused by the health, taste or chemical make up of the 
water. It is the same air that is in every glass of water you 
drink.
Remove the ice bucket for emptying and cleaning. To 
remove the ice bucket, raise the bin arm and remove the 
bucket from the ice compartment. Use the ice bucket for 
ice storage only.

Defrost
This unit requires manual defrost, periodically.
Inspect the interior walls for frost build up every 3 - 4 
weeks. Defrost your unit when 1/4” of frost builds up 
on the interior walls. Frost will build up faster in humid 
environments and when the door is opened frequently.
To defrost, remove ice bucket, turn o unit, leave door 
open, and allow frost/ice to melt naturally. Do not use 
tools to chip or scrape the frost as it may damage your 
unit. Use a towel to absorb melting frost/ice. Before 
turning the unit back on, make sure all the frost is gone 
and the unit is dry.
