GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
!
!
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.
WARNING
!
• Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the
unit until the electricity has been disconnected.
• Altering, cutting of power cord, removal of power cord,
removal of power plug, or direct wiring can cause serious
injury, fire and/or loss of property and/or life and will
void the warranty.
• The anti-tip kit must be installed on these units if they are
built-in and before it is used. Never use the wine racks or
shelves as steps or a shelf to support more than their
content.
CAUTION
• Do not lift unit by door handle.
• Use care when moving the unit. Some edges are sharp
and may cause personal injury. Wear gloves when mov-
ing or positioning the unit.
• Never install the unit behind closed doors. Be sure front
grille is free of obstruction. Obstructing free air flow can
cause the unit to malfunction, and may void the warranty.
• Allow unit temperature to stabilize for 24 hours before
use.
• Never use an ice pick or other sharp instrument to help
speed up defrosting. These instruments can puncture
the inner lining or damage cooling unit.
• Failure to clean the condenser every three months can
cause the unit to malfunction. This could void the
warranty.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)
CAUTION
• Using a heater to speed up defrosting can damage the
inner lining. 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.

INSTALLATION
SITE PREPARATION
Your U-Line product is designed to be installed in a wall or under a
counter or freestanding.
NOTE
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.
1. Position the unit on a flat, level surface, capable of supporting the
entire weight of the unit. Remember the unit will be significantly
heavier once it is fully loaded.
It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not
level, the ice mold will not fill evenly. This can cause a reduc-
tion in ice rate, uneven sized cubes or water spilling into the
storage area which will cause the ice in the bin to melt pre-
maturely. Remember that floors near drains have a ten-
dency to slope towards the drain.
2. The surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C) but
must not exceed 110°F (40°C).
3. The unit must not be located near heat-generating equipment or in
direct sunlight.
4. The unit must be located to allow clearance for water, drain and
electrical connections in the rear when applicable.
5. Connect the unit to its own grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60
Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current).
6. Avoid connecting the unit to a Ground Fault Interruptor (GFI). GFIs
are prone to nuisance tripping which will cause the unit to shut
down. GFIs are generally not used on circuits which power
equipment that must run unattended for long periods of time.
7. The unit must be installed according to your local codes and
ordinances.

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.
To level units with adjustable feet:
1. Adjust all four leveling feet evenly so that the top of the cabinet is
at the desired installation height and level.
2. Using a level of at least two feet in length, measure the level of the
floor where the unit is to be installed. Measure back-to-front and
side-to-side and note the measurements.
3. With the unit on a level surface, adjust the feet, as appropriate, to
compensate for the floor level measurements noted in Step 2.

CONNECTING THE WATER SUPPLY -
ICE MAKER MODELS ONLY
Install a 1/4" outside diameter copper water line (not
supplied with unit) from the nearest COLD water pipe. When
connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.
• In most instances, the cold water supply will come from the
basement through a hole in the floor.
• The water pressure should be between 15 and 150 psi.
• Install a shut-off valve in the 1/4" outside diameter supply line
(not supplied with unit).
• Connect sufficient tubing to the unit to allow the unit to be
moved for cleaning and servicing. 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).

WOOD TRIM ON WINE RACKS
Your 75 BEV is equipped with a natural wood trim on the wine racks.
For appearance and durability, the wood trim has been coated at the
factory with a clear vinyl sealer, which will adequately protect the wood
in normal usage.
WARNING
!
To prevent permanent damage to the inner liner of your
75 BEV, the wine rack wood trim MUST be removed from
the unit for staining and/or finishing. Allow stain/finish to
dry thoroughly (at least 24 hours per coat) in accordance
with the stain/finish manufacturer’s instructions prior to
re-installing the wood trim inside the cabinet of the 75 BEV.
Failure to do so may cause the inner liner of the unit to have
a permanent odor, which is not covered by the warranty.
You have three options regarding the wood trim on the wine racks.
(1) You can leave as is, (2) add a final finish coat or (3) you may stain
the wood trim. The final finish coat was not applied at the factory so
that the wood trim could be stained. YOU CANNOT STAIN THE
WOOD TRIM ONCE YOU APPLY THE FINAL FINISH. Review the
following guidelines when staining and or sealing the wood to ensure
proper adhesion and durability of the finish.
22
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
To add a final finish coat:
1. Remove the top two racks. See WINE RACK REMOVAL/
INSTALLATION.
2. Remove screws securing wood trim to the two racks attached at
the drawer slides so wood can be removed for treatment.
3. Lightly scruff sand the wood trim with 280 grit 3M™ Tri-M-Ite™
sandpaper.
4. Remove sanding dust with a clean, dry cloth.
5. Apply a thin coat of a clear protective finish; the factory-applied seal
is compatible with virtually all finishes. A low odor, water clean up,
quick drying finish such as Minwax® Polycrylic® Protective Finish is
recommended. Follow container label for directions.
6. Lightly sand and reapply if desired.

To stain for a different wood color:
1. Remove the top two racks. See WINE RACK REMOVAL/
INSTALLATION.
2. Remove screws securing wood trim to the two racks attached at
the drawer slides so wood can be removed for treatment.
3. Apply Minwax® Water-Based Wood Stain to wood with a synthetic
bristle brush or a foam applicator. Stain must penetrate approxi-
mately three minutes. After this period, while stain is still wet, take
a stain dampened rag and remove all excess stain. Wipe in the
direction of the grain with medium pressure to achieve the desired
stain color.
4. After two hours, repeat step 3. This will even out the color of the
wood.
5. Allow stain to dry for a minimum of three hours before finishing.
6. If desired sand the wood with very fine sandpaper to smooth the
surface from the staining process.
7. Remove all dust from the wood. Apply one coat of Minwax®
Polycrylic® Protective Finish with a synthetic bristle brush to the
wood. This finish should be applied in a thin coat following the direc-
tion of the grain. First apply the finish to the back and sides of the
wood. Allow this to dry for two hours. Next apply the finish to the
front side of the wood and allow to dry for two hours. Sand with
very fine sandpaper (220 grit). Reapply in the same manner three
times. After the third coat do not sand the surface.
8. Allow the final coat to dry for 24 hours before installing the wood
to the racks.
Minwax® Polycrylic® is an ultra fast-drying water-based finish.

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.
Always throw away all ice cubes made during the first two
to three hours of operation.
Once the installation is complete, the unit is ready for initial start-up and
operation.
NOTE
BI-95 and BI-98 models have the ON-OFF switch behind the
front grille. A small opening in the top of the grille is pro-
vided to access the switch (Figure 36).
Some models may also turn off when the temperature control is turned
all the way toward warmer until it stops (clicks).
UL127A
Figure 36
1. Wipe out inside of unit, again, with a clean, water-dampened cloth.
2. Plug the appliance cord into a 115V polarized, grounded electrical
outlet.
3. Check that the ON-OFF switch in the ON position. (All units are
shipped in the ON position.)
34
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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. Subsequent cubes will be
of standard size. Approximate time for the first cycle is 45 min-
utes. Allow two hours for Frostfree models.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Models BI-95 and BI-98: Use a flat tip screwdriver to turn adjusting
screw, located behind front grille, clockwise for colder (slower ice
production) or counterclockwise for warmer (faster ice production)
(Figure 37).

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. However, the refrigeration system will
continue to cool and maintain the cube supply. On frost free icemaker
units, ice production will be lower than on manual defrost units.
Ice production may be interrupted by raising the bin arm into an upright
and locked position (the unit will maintain temperature for ice storage,
Figure 10).
On Combo units, the refrigerator fresh food temperature may vary dur-
ing the initial manufacture of ice. It is recommended that the ice buck-
et be allowed to fill before placing food in the refrigerator section. The
temperature control may then be adjusted as needed (allow 24 hours
for temperature stabilization).
Certain sounds are normal during the unit’s operation. You may hear
the compressor or fan motor, the water valve, sounds of defrost, or
ice dropping into the ice bucket.
CAUTION
NEVER use an ice pick, knife, or other sharp instrument to
separate cubes. Shake the bucket instead.
The ice bucket MUST be in place to avoid freezing products in the
refrigerator section of the Combo Series 29 and 75.
During periods of limited usage or high ambient temperatures, it is
common for cubes to fuse together. Break apart cubes as necessary
by shaking bucket.
NOTE
Control has been preset at the factory. Allow unit to run for
24 hours for temperature stabilization. This factory preset
allows for optimal temperature.

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. It is the same air that
is in every glass of water you drink.
To provide for higher ice rate (production of more cubes), adjust the
temperature control to a warmer setting. If hollow cubes result, adjust
temperature somewhat colder. For less cube production, adjust to a
colder setting.
The ice bucket must be fully inserted in the freezer section.
The ice bin door must be fully closed.
For frost free models: Do not place any objects over air inlet or outlet
in freezer section.
For frost free models: Light frosting may occur in high humidity condi-
tions or if the ice bucket is not pushed in completely.

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. Prop door open to
allow for air circulation and prevent mold and mildew. Do not use anti-
freeze in your icemaker.
• If the ambient temperature is expected to drop below 45°F, drain all
water from the unit to prevent freezing damage not covered by the
warranty.
• High ambient temperatures (110°F or higher) may reduce the unit’s
ability to reach low temperatures and may also reduce the ice pro-
duction rate.

CAUTION
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.
LIGHT SWITCH AND BULB

PROPER STORAGE and STOCKING
RECOMMENDATIONS
Your Beverage Center will accommodate up to 16 bottles (750 ML
size) on the wine racks: up to eight bottles on each rack. Specially
designed wine racks allow for the proper horizontal storage and pre-
sentation of the wine. The cork remains moist, which keeps air from
entering the bottle.
UL138
Figure 42
The 75 BEV should be stocked beginning at the back of the bottom
rack and working forward. Stagger the bottles as shown in Figure 42.
The top rack should be stocked similarly, starting at the back and work-
ing forward.
THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE FOR WINE
The 75 BEV wine racks permit storage of your finest wines at approx-
imately 45°F. The glass shelves are approximately 38°F. Temperatures
noted are product temperatures and not air temperatures.

humidity or heavy usage. Defrost your unit whenever the frost thickness
is 1/4” or greater. To defrost, turn the unit OFF, remove cubes and
prop door open at least two inches.
NOTE
Frost free units will NEVER need defrosting. Automatic
defrost models do not normally require manual defrosting.
However, in extremely high humidity or during periods of
unusually high usage, minimal manual defrosting may be
required.
