is recommended that the electrical supply be placed in an
adjacent cabinet or in the lower right of the opening. Refer
to the illustration below. A separate circuit, servicing only
this appliance is required.
Model UC-15I(P)O is designed and safe for use in outdoor
applications. When installed outdoors, a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) is required to reduce the risk of electrical
shock. A GFCI is not recommended for use with the indoor
model and may cause interruption of operation.

Use an appliance dolly to move the unit near the opening.
If the unit has been on its back or side, it must stand upright
for a minimum of 24 hours before connecting power.
The drain and inlet water tubes must be plumbed before
connecting to the ice machine. For the gravity drain, hori-
1
zontal drain lines must have a
/4" (6) per 12" (305) fall. An
air gap will likely be required between the unit and drain.
A stand pipe with a trap below is acceptable for the drain.

VERIFY ICE PRODUCTION
1 Press ‘POWER’ to turn the ice machine on.
2 Add one gallon (3.8 L) of cold water to the ice bin. Verify
the water completely drains from the ice bin and there
are no leaks. If the water has not drained within 60 seconds, there may be a kink in the drain tube or incorrect
drain installation.
3 Press ‘CLEAN’. Wait three minutes until the CLEAN light
ashes, then add 1 tablespoon
(15 ml) of undiluted ice
machine sanitizer directly into the spray area. Refer to
the illustration below. Use only the sanitizer made for the

For questions, contact Sub-Zero customer care at
800-222-7820.
4 A 10-minute sanitizing cycle begins, followed by eight
rinse cycles. When the process is complete, the CLEAN
light will no longer be illuminated. The entire cycle takes
approximately 30 minutes.
5 At initial start-up, the ice machine will need approxi-
mately 30 minutes to freeze ice cubes and up to ve
minutes to harvest. Verify completion of the rst cycle ice

REVERSE DOOR SWING
The door hinges are designed to be placed on either the
right or left side of the ice machine. The unit is shipped with
the door hinged on the right. Moving the hinges to the left in
pre-drilled holes, allows for a left-hand door swing.
To reverse door swing:
1 Detach the hinges from the ice machine by removing two
screws per hinge, then remove the door. Remove the
shim located between the cabinet and bottom hinge, this
shim will transfer to the left side bottom hinge.
2 Detach the hinges from the door by removing two
screws per hinge.
3 Detach the right-hand upper trim (shaded area) from the
door by removing two screws. Refer to the illustration
below. Replace it with the left-hand upper trim.
4 Transfer the hinges to the left side of the door and
reinstall. The upper hinge will now be in the lower hinge
position and the lower hinge in the upper hinge position.
5 Remove the top cover of the ice machine by removing
two screws at the top rear of the unit.
6 Remove four screws from the front top rail, then pivot
the top rail end for end to expose the two left-hand top
hinge mounting holes and reinstall. Refer to the illustration below.
7 Remove two screws from the lower edge of the bottom
trim plate and slide it to the right to cover the right hinge
mounting holes. Refer to the illustration below. The left
hinge mounting holes will now be exposed.
8 Reinstall the shim removed in step 1, between the
cabinet and the left side bottom hinge. Reinstall the door
by mounting the hinges using the left hinge mounting
holes. Verify operation of door.

door. Place the custom overlay door panel face down on a
protected work surface. On the back of the panel, position
the plastic template provided, ush with the top and side
edges. Verify proper location for right-hand (RH) or left-hand
(LH) door swing. Refer to the illustration below.
Mark the holes, remove the template and drill pilot holes for
the brackets. Position and secure the mounting bracket with
screws provided.
To install the custom door panel, partially insert a screw in
the center of each mounting position on the hinge side of
the door. Engage the tabbed bracket to the handle side
of the door, then slide the hinge side mounting bracket onto
positioning screws. Slotted holes on the mounting bracket
should slide under screw heads to support the panel. Refer
1
to the illustration below. Panel can be adjusted
/4" (6) up
and down and side to side.
Once the custom panel is in place and properly adjusted,
attach remaining screws to the hinge side mounting bracket
and install hinge covers.
