To enable the Sabbath Mode on the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A, press and hold the Light Button for 3 seconds. To return the machine to standard operation, press and hold the Light Button for 3 seconds.

During Sabbath Mode on the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A:

• All display lights turn off.
• The Internal UV lighting remains off.
• Ice continues to be produced. The ice in the bin slowly melts. When the level of the ice reaches a certain point, the machine automatically begins making more ice.
• The drain pump continues to remove water from the machine. As water from the melting ice fills the drain pump reservoir, the pump automatically turns on and removes the waste water.

If the ice storage bin of the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A is full of water, turn off the ice maker and clean the mesh on the bottom of the ice bin.

The U-LINE URNP115-IS01A machine continues to operate until the ice bin is full, which takes about 10 hours. This time will vary slightly based upon ambient and water temperatures.

The U-LINE URNP115-IS01A ceases ice production when the ice level reaches the temperature sensing tube located on the right side.

When the door is open, the ice maker of the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A cannot detect if the bin is full. Be sure to keep the door closed during ice production.

Do not put anything other than ice in the ice bin of the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A. Wine or beer bottles are unsanitary and a detached label may block the drain.

For plumbing installation of the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A water supply, observe the following:

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.

When connecting the water supply, note the following:

• Before installing the unit and connecting to the cold water supply, review the local plumbing codes.
• Softened water is not recommended as it may result in softer ice than desired. If using softened water, install a bypass to supply untreated water to the ice maker.
• Water produced by reverse osmosis and deionized water are NOT recommended. It is more corrosive than tap water and can cause harm to the equipment over time.
• Connection to the water main is made with hose-set only.
• Hose-set must be new, not reused, and in compliance with IEC 61770.
• The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the supply line.
• The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing. Make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation.

Additional cautions for water hookup:

• Do not use any plastic water supply line. The line is under pressure at all times. Plastic may crack or rupture with age and cause damage to your home.
• Do not use tape or joint compound when attaching a braided flexible water supply line that includes a rubber gasket. The gasket provides an adequate seal – other materials could cause blockage of the valve.
• Failure to follow recommendations and instructions may result in damage and/or harm, flooding or void the product warranty.
• Use new hose set. Do not reuse old hose set.
• Turn off water supply and disconnect electrical supply to unit prior to installation.
• Use caution when handling back panel. The edges could be sharp.

To install the water supply for the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A:

1. Install the inlet pipe (1/4″ diameter copper pipe) on the wall and connect the water supply valve.
2. Use the inlet pipe after cutting it to the required length.
3. Wash the inlet pipe.
4. Connect the inlet pipe with the copper pipe using the flare nut.
5. Connect the inlet pipe with the water-supply valve of the product using the flare nut.
6. Turn on the tap and check for any leakage.

To secure the drain hose to the back panel of the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A:

1. Find hose clamp and screw in the literature package that came with your machine.
2. Secure hose using supplied clamp and screw.

Do not pull or bend the drain hose to avoid damage to drain pump. Drain hose must be secured to the rear of the machine before connecting to drain.

For drain connection on the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A:

• Failure to connect water supply or drain line connections properly can result in personal injury and property damage. Do not pull the drain hose to avoid damage to drain pump.
• The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate drainage from all attached drains. Follow these guidelines when installing drain lines to prevent water from flowing back into the ice maker storage bin and/or potentially flowing onto the floor, which may result in personal injury or property damage.

Notice: Drain can NOT be located directly below the unit. Unit has a solid base that will not allow the unit to drain below itself.

If hooking up the drain pump, the maximum lift for the drain pump is 10 feet. This must be done as close to the rear of the unit as possible.

The leveling information for the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A is as follows:

1. Use a level to confirm the unit is level. Level should be placed along top edge and side edge as shown.
2. If the unit is not level, adjust the legs on the corners of the unit as necessary. (Turn legs to Adjust).
3. Confirm the unit is level after each adjustment and repeat the previous steps as needed.

Installation Tip for Leveling:

If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cutout opening, adjust the rear legs to achieve a total unit rear height of 1/8″ (3 mm) less than opening’s rear height. Shorten the unit height in the front by adjusting the front legs. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the opening. Readjust the front legs to level the unit after it is correctly positioned in the opening.

For general installation of the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A:

1. Ensure all connections in the rear of the machine are secure.
2. Gently push the unit into position. Be careful not to entangle the cord or water and drain lines, if applicable.
3. Re-check the leveling, from front to back and side to side. Make any necessary adjustments. The unit’s top surface should be approximately 1/8″ (3 mm) below the countertop.
4. Remove interior packing material and wipe out the inside of the unit with a clean, water-dampened cloth.

To install optional extension legs on the U-LINE URNP115-IS01A:

1. Carefully tip and block machine high enough to remove factory-installed legs. Remove legs simply by rotating them counter clockwise until completely out.
2. Install new legs to the desired height.

Caution: The longer legs are designed to raise your machine up to 1/2″ higher than the factory-installed legs. DO NOT attempt to tighten the longer legs all the way in, or you will damage the bottom of the machine. The minimum height adjustment with the longer legs installed should never be less than 1/2″.
