Electrical Requirements
Installation must comply with all applicable electrical codes.
Although it can be located anywhere on the back wall, it 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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Electrical Supply 115 VAC, 60 Hz Service 15 amp dedicated circuit Receptacle 3-prong grounding-type
CAUTION
The outlet must be checked by a qualied electrician to be sure it is wired with the correct polarity. Verify the outlet is properly grounded.
WARNING
Do not use an extension cord, two-prong adapter, or remove the power cord ground prong.

Preparation
CAUTION
Before moving the unit into position, secure the door closed and protect any nished ooring.
Uncrate the unit and inspect for damage. Remove the wood base and discard shipping bolts and brackets. Remove and recycle packing materials. Do not discard the kickplate and hardware.
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 connection to the ice maker. For the gravity drain, horizontal
1
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 maker 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 the drain installation is incorrect.
3 Press “CLEAN”. Wait three minutes until the CLEAN light
ashes, then add 1 tablespoon
(15 ml) of undiluted ice
maker sanitizer directly into the spray area. Refer to the illustration below. Use only the sanitizer made for the Sub-Zero ice maker available at subzerowolfstore.com. 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 maker will need approximately
30 minutes to freeze ice cubes and up to ve minutes to harvest. Verify completion of the rst cycle ice produc­tion to conrm proper installation.

REVERSE DOOR SWING
The door hinges are designed to be placed on either the right or left side of the ice maker. The unit is shipped with the door hinged on the right. Moving the hinges to the left using the pre-drilled holes allows for a left-hand door swing.
To Reverse the Door Swing:
1 Detach the hinges from the ice maker 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 the 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 maker by removing the
two screws at the top rear of the unit.
6 Remove the 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 the 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 the door.

OVERLAY PANEL
For overlay applications, a custom door panel must be installed. The panel size is critical for a proper t. To verify panel requirements and dimensions, refer to the Sub-Zero Design Guide at subzero.com/specs.
Finish all sides of the custom panel. They will be visible when the door is open.
A D-style handle is recommended. The door handle must be located near the edge of the panel opposite the hinge, cen­tered top to bottom. Stainless steel tubular and pro handles are avail able through an authorized Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer information, visit the nd a showroom section of our website, subzero.com.
PANEL INSTALLATION
Remove the handle side bracket attached to the front of the door. Place the custom door panel face down on a protected work surface. Place the template on the back of the door panel, then mark and drill the holes. Secure the
1
mounting bracket to the panel with the #8 x
/2" screws
provided. Refer to the illustration below.
Install the door panel by engaging the tabbed bracket to the door. Once the door panel is in place, use the remaining
1
/2" screws to secure the panel to the upper and lower
#8 x mounting brackets. Once secure, install the hinge covers. Refer to page 11.
