- Starting at the corners and working inward, push door gasket into place on door.
- Place door on bottom hinge pin and install upper hinge screw.
CRESCENT ICE MAKERS AND ADA15IM
Due to differences in floor construction or surrounding cabinetry, the panel may not sit flush with the top of the door/drawer.
- Fully open door/drawer.
- Starting at corner, pull gasket away from door/drawer.
- Continue to pull gasket free from gasket channel.
- Upon removal, lay gasket down on a flat surface.
- Partially loosen the 3 screws, securing the top hinge to the cabinet.
- Align the panel with the outside edge (opposite the hinge) and high enough to align with the highest point in the door/drawer.
- Insert panel underneath top hinge and apply upward pressure while bringing the lower portion of the panel flush to the door inside the lower hinge. The panel will fit snuggly.
- Align door with cabinet. Tighten the top 3 screws, securing the top hinge to the cabinet.
[Diagram: Shows aligning the top of the panel with the highest point of the door/drawer.]
Integrated Panel Installation Steps:
- Secure integrated panel to door/drawer using clamps. A robust tape may also be used. U-Line recommends the use of bar clamps to secure the panel to the door/drawer. If using tape, be certain the tape will not damage panel finish upon removal. [Diagram: Shows using bar clamps to secure a wood panel to a door/drawer frame.]
- Using a 7/64" (3 mm) drill bit, drill 6 pilot holes into the wood panel 1/2" (12 mm) deep using the holes in the door/drawer frame as a guide.
It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are drilled to the correct depth in order to avoid splits in the wood when hardwood is installed.
- Locate 6 of the #6x 1-1/4" (32 mm) screws provided with your unit.
- Using a Phillips screwdriver, place one screw into each of the 6 pilot holes and screw down. Do not overtighten screws.
- Be sure the screws force their way past the opening on the gasket channel and sit flush against the bottom of the channel. [Diagram: Shows screws passing through the gasket channel and sitting flush.]
- Remove clamps from door/drawer.
If panel requires additional adjustment after removing clamps, slightly loosen each screw and adjust panel as necessary. Tighten screws upon completion.
- Starting at the corners, re-install the gasket into the gasket channel in the frame. Make sure the gasket is fully seated. This may take some force.
First Use
All U-Line controls are preset at the factory. Initial startup requires no adjustments.
NOTICE: 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.
To turn the unit on or off:
Press the rocker switch located inside the door on the front panel, or behind the grille. [Diagram: Shows an ON/OFF rocker switch.]
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 off 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.
[Diagram: Illustrates the manual defrost process: ice bucket removed, door open, frost melting.]
Ice
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.
