Other Site Requirements 5 Operation Power Supply The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current). See Electrical Specifications on Page 23. Water Supply The unit requires a 1/4-inch OD water supply line and a shut-off valve. For more information see Page 22. ULIN_0080_A Drain Figure 2 The unit’s generous 7-inch drain connection height extends the distance the unit can be located from a gravity drain. For more information see Page 19.
Temperature Control Interior Lighting Checking Product Temperature The interior of Model CLR2160 is not illuminated. The refrigerator section of Model CLRCO2175 is illuminated whenever the door is opened. The LIGHT icon (Figure 3, 5) on the control panel is used to control an additional Model CLRCO2175 lighting function. The blackout/Sabbath mode (not Star K certified) will turn the interior light and display (Figure 3, 3) off. To access the blackout/Sabbath mode (not Star K certified): 1.
Temperature Display Normal Operating Sounds To display the Model CLRCO2175 interior temperature: All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. In spite of this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar. 1. Touch and hold the WARMER icon (Figure 5, 2) for approximately five seconds and release when the °F symbol in the display (Figure 5, 3) begins to flash. 2.
Storage, Vacation, Moving Product Disposal If the unit will not be used for an extended period, or otherwise stored, follow these steps completely: If the unit is being removed from service for disposal, check and obey all Federal, State and/or Local regulations regarding the disposal and recycling of refrigeration appliances, and follow these steps completely: WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before servicing. Before operating, replace all panels.
Maintenance 6 Cleaning and Maintenance Proper maintenance of your U-Line product will ensure efficiency, top performance and long life. The maintenance intervals listed are based on normal conditions. You may want to shorten the intervals if you have pets or other special considerations. General Cleaning Exterior Cleaning (As Required) Black and White Models: • Surfaces may be cleaned with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners.
To defrost: 4. Clean the condenser coil (Figure 8, 2) using a soft brush with a “combing” action or vacuum cleaner. Do not touch the condenser coil. 1. Turn unit off. 2. Remove all products from the interior and prop the door in an open position (2 in. (5 cm) minimum). 3. Allow the frost to completely melt naturally. Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.
1 2 3 4 4. Remove the overflow tube (Figure 11, 1) by lifting it up while using a slight back and forth motion to loosen it from the drain hole. The water in the reservoir will flow down the drain. 5 5. Replace the overflow tube after all of the water has drained from the reservoir. ULIN_0058_A 6. Start the cleaning cycle as follows: Figure 9 a. Touch and hold the ON/OFF button (Figure 9, 1). 1. Turn the ice maker off (allowing any ice to melt off of the evaporator) as follows: a.
b. Touch and release the DOWN ARROW (Figure 13, 2) button three times, then release the UP ARROW button (Figure 13, 1). 2 3 c. The display (Figure 13, 3) will switch to “0” to confirm the thickness adjustment mode has been selected. 2. The factory setting is “0,” and the total range of adjustment is -5 to +5. Use the UP ARROW button to raise the setting and thicken the ice bridge, or the DOWN ARROW button to lower the setting to thin the ice bridge. IMPORTANT 1 ULIN_0061_A Figure 12 4.
Door Alignment Check and Adjustment IMPORTANT When properly aligned: • The door will not be flush with the top of the cabinet. The top edge of the door will be 1/8 in. (3.175 mm) below the cabinet top. • The door gasket will be firmly in contact with the perimeter of the cabinet and not pinched on the hinge side of the door. ULIN_0047_A The following procedure will correct for up to 1/4 in.
Door Reversal 1 2 3 ULIN_0201_A Figure 20 3. Turn the door upside down and inspect the hinge plate mounting holes. • Your plate has slotted mounting holes (Figure 20, 1). Loosen but do not remove the two hinge plate screws. 4. If door edge opposite the hinges needs to move up, move plate toward outside of door (Figure 20, 2). If door edge needs to move down, move plate toward inside of door (Figure 20, 3).
5. Remove the two door closer inserts (Figure 26, 1) from the existing bottom hinge and install as shown on the new bottom hinge (Figure 25, 1). 1 6. Remove existing bottom hinge (three screws) and remount on opposite side TOP. Remove hinge screw pin. 7. Remove the plastic hole plug from the top of the door to allow the pivot pin to be inserted in the new location. Install the plug into the vacated hole on the opposite side. ULIN_0002_A Figure 24 2.
To install the door shelf: 7 Prepare Plumbing 1. Holding shelf in center, align notches (Figure 28, 1) in shelf with bosses (Figure 28, 2) in door. 2. Tilt shelf at a 15°-20° angle and slide onto bosses at the desired location. Glass Shelf Removal/Installation CAUTION Plumbing installation must observe all state and local codes. All water and drain connections MUST BE made by a licensed/qualified plumbing contractor. Failure to follow recommendations and instructions may result in damage and/or harm.
Drain Connection IMPORTANT Drain can NOT be located directly below unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow unit to drain below itself. The CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 can be installed using a Gravity Drain, a Factory-Installed Drain Pump (U-Line P60) or a Locally-Installed (U-Line P60) Drain Pump. Drain lines must have a 5/8” inside diameter. The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all attached drains.
If using a Gravity Drain: Factory-Installed Drain Pump 1. Slide 2 hose clamps onto the drain connection on the rear of the appliance. If your drain line will run up to a stand pipe, disposal assembly or spigot assembly or does not otherwise meet the requirements for a Gravity Drain, you may have ordered the CLR2160 or CLRCO2175 with a U-Line P60 Drain Pump. See Figures 37, 38 and 39 for typical installations requiring a Drain Pump.
4. Check that the clamps and hose connections are tight at the following areas (see Figure 36): • It must have a check valve in the discharge line to prevent waste water return to the pump. • It must have an overflow protection control which will shut off power to the ice maker in the event of a pump failure. • Discharge tube (A) • Drain tube (B) • Vent tube (C) • It must have an operating temperature range of 50°F to 110°F (10°C to 40°C).
Final Water/Drain Connection Y-Branch Tailpiece P60 Pump Required 1. Connect the water supply fitting by screwing the brass garden hose fitting to the watervalve in the rear of the unit. Air Gap (Optional Hook-Up) 2. Tighten this fitting with pliers. Waste Shut-Off Valve NOTE: Do not use Teflon tape or joint compound on this fitting. The rubber washer provides an adequate seal. Other materials could cause blockage of the valve.
9. After unit is in its final position, finish routing drain tube to the desired location. Common installations use a floor drain, standpipe, garbage disposal, or Y-branch tailpiece type drain connection (see Figures 37, 38 and 39). 8 Prepare Power Supply Electrical Specifications CAUTION 10. Check to ensure unit is level both side to side and front to back. See Leveling on Page 14.

Troubleshooting Guide NOTE: Recommended refrigerator temperature setting is 38°F. DANGER ELECTROCUTION HAZARD Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the main electrical power has been disconnected. Troubleshooting - What to check when problems occur: PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY Unit does not operate and electronic display is blank. No electrical supply Plug unit in or check circuit breaker. Low air temperature around unit Surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY Unit runs but produces very little ice. Dirty condenser coils Clean the condenser (See MAINTENANCE; CONDENSER CLEANING). High air temperature around unit Surrounding air temperature of over 90°F. Low ice production at high temperatures is normal. Scale and mineral buildup in unit Run unit through self cleaning cycle (See MAINTENANCE; ICE MAKER: SELF CLEANING CYCLE. Inadequate airflow at the front of the unit Remove items blocking airflow.
