dimensions, door swing clearance and location
of electrical and plumbing (Model UC-24C).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
To operate properly, the
door must open a minimum of 90˚. Use a
minimum 2" (51) filler in corner installations to
assure a 90˚ door opening. Allow enough clearance in front of the unit for full door swing.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Make sure the floor under
the unit is level with the surrounding finished
floor.

OPTIONAL
COMPONENTS
Optional installation components
are available
through your
Sub-Zero dealer.
For questions
relative to the
installation, call
Sub-Zero at
800-222-7820.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
A 115 V AC, 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit breaker and
electrical supply are required. A separate
ircuit, servicing only this appliance, is
c
required.
The power supply cord has a 3-prong grounding plug, which must be plugged into a mating
-prong grounding-type wall receptacle. Follow
3
the National Electrical Code and local codes
and ordinances when installing the receptacle.
For location of the electrical supply, refer to the
Installation Specifications illustration on page 3.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The electrical outlet must
be placed so the grounding prong is to the right
of the thinner blades. The outlet must be flush
with the back wall.
The Model UC-24RO 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
other Undercounter models and may cause
interruption of operation.
PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
Model UC-24C comes with an automatic ice
aker. The illustration on page 3 shows the
m
precise placement of the water line. When
routing through the side walls, you must place
the water line within
1
/2" (13) of the floor and
as close as possible to the back wall. A
minimum of 26" (660) of copper tubing is
required for the water line.
Connect the
1
/4" water line from the ice maker
water valve to the house water supply. Use an
easily accessible shut-off valve between the
water supply and the unit. This shut-off valve
should not be installed behind the unit. Do not
use self-piercing valves. A saddle valve kit
(part #4200880) is available from your
Sub-Zero dealer.
A line filter is required when water conditions
have a high sediment content. The ice maker
operates on water pressure of 20 psi (1.4 bar)
to 100 psi (6.9 bar).
A reverse osmosis system can be used,
provided there is a consistent water pressure
of 20 psi (1.4 bar) to 100 psi (6.9 bar) supplied
to the water valve at all times.
Do not use an extension cord or twoprong adapter. Electrical ground is
required on this appliance.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
In some cases a reverse
osmosis water filter system may not be able
to maintain the minimum water pressure
consistently.
