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.

Water Supply Connection

When connecting the water supply, follow these guidelines:

•Review the local plumbing codes before you install the unit.

•Connect to the cold water supply.

•The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.

•The water line MUST have a shut-off valve in the 1/4” O.D. supply line.

•Leave approximately 8’ of water line to be coiled behind the appliance. The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the unit to be removed for cleaning and servicing. However, make certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged during installation.

IMPORTANT

U-Line requires the use of copper tubing, or U-Line water line hook up kit (U-MPWATERHOOKUP) for installation. 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 water damage to your home.

Leveling Information

Note: It is recommended that the unit is level.

1.Use a level to check the levelness of the unit

from front to back and from side to side. Level should be placed along top edge and side edge as shown (see Figure 24).

2. If the unit is not level, adjust the feet on the corners of the unit as necessary.

3. Check the levelness after each adjustment and repeat the previous steps until the unit is level.

To connect to water supply:

1. Locate the desired cold water supply location. Attach a 1/4” copper line to this location

and route the tubing to the appliance. Leave approximately 8’ of water line to be coiled behind the appliance. The water line should be looped into 2 coils. This will allow the line to flex when removing the unit for cleaning and servicing.

2. Locate the U-Line supplied garden hose fitting. Ensure the end of the copper tubing has been cut straight and free of burrs. Slide the compression nut and ferrule onto the copper tubing as shown. Push the assembly completely into the garden hose fitting and tighten using the two wrenches.

Installation Tip

If the room floor is higher than the floor in the cut-out opening, adjust the rear feet to achieve a total unit rear height of 1/8" less than the opening’s rear height. Shorten the unit height in the front by adjusting the front feet. This allows the unit to be gently tipped into the opening. Readjust the front feet to level the unit after it is correctly positioned in the opening.
