U-Line Combo Model and Ice MakerProduct Features
1 Product Operation
Air Flow
Initial Startup
All U-Line controls are preset at the factory. Initial startup requires
no adjustments.
IMPORTANT
The unit requires proper airflow to perform at its highest
efficiency. Do not block the front grille, found at the
bottom of the unit, at any time, or the unit will not
perform as expected. Do not install the unit behind a
door.
IMPORTANT
U-Line recommends allowing the unit to run overnight
before loading refrigerator or freezer with product.
IMPORTANT
On ice maker equipped units, 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.
To turn the unit on or off:
Press the rocker switch located below the temperature control
dial in the center of the grille(2), inside the door on the front
panel, or behind the grille.
Control Dial
Combo Models provide two temperature zones within the cabinet
to satisfy the specific storage requirements.
The control dial sets a single continuous temperature. This set-
point temperature is a base setting used by the controller to
maintain the temperature zone in the unit. The factory default MID
setting, number 3 or 4 set-point for Beverage Center and
Refrigerator models is 38°F. The factory default set-point Wine
Captain models is 50°F. The set-point temperature is a gauge for
further temperature adjustments.

Ice Maker Operation
Ice Maker Adjustment
Ice Cube Thickness Adjustment.
Interval - As Required
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. Frost-free ice maker units have lower ice
production than manual defrost units.
On ice maker equipped models, adjust the cube size by changing
water amount injected into the ice maker assembly as follows:
IMPORTANT
Do not place cans or bottles in the ice compartment
because they will freeze.

IMPORTANT
If not intending to use the ice maker turn the water
supply valve off, it is important to raise the bin arm of the
ice maker (Figure 1). Failure to raise the bin arm may
result in damage to the water valve.
1. Remove the ice maker assembly cover (1).
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.
2. Find the adjusting screw on the ice maker assembly control box

signs on the control box.
WARNING
NOTE: Adjust in small increments. Too large of an adjust-
NEVER use an ice pick, knife or other sharp instrument
to separate cubes. Shake the ice bucket instead.
ment could cause the unit to malfunction.
CAUTION
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.
Too large of an adjustment to the screw can cause the
water to overflow the ice maker and can cause property
damage.
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.
3. Turn the adjusting screw toward the minus (-) sign (clockwise)
for smaller cubes or toward the plus (+) sign (counterclockwise)
for larger cubes.
4. Install the ice maker assembly cover.
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.
