General Precautions
Use this appliance for its intended purpose only and
follow these general precautions along with those listed
throughout this guide:
WARNING
SHOCK HAZARD — Electrical Grounding Required.
• Keep the unit unplugged throughout installation
except during testing.
• Never remove the round grounding prong from
the plug and never use a two-prong grounding
adapter.
• Never use an extension cord to connect power to
the unit.
• Always keep your working area dry.
CAUTION
• Use care when moving and handling the unit. Use
gloves to prevent personal injury from sharp edges.
• Do not lift the unit by the door or door handle.
• Do not install the unit behind closed doors or in any
way that would obstruct airflow to the front grille,
which may cause the unit to malfunction.
2 Inspect and Plan
You have received a carton containing your BI2015 Ice
Maker with a package inside containing a User Manual, a
Product Registration Card and water connection parts.
Complete and mail the Product Registration Card or
register online at www.U-LineService.com. Once your unit
is installed, keep the User Manual and this Installation
Guide in a safe place for future reference.
Your unit is Black, White or Stainless Steel. Black and
White units have a reversible door with a slightly
contoured handle across the top. They come with a flush
mounted door panel that, when removed, will accept a
custom 1/4-inch thick door panel or a 3/4-inch thick full
overlay door panel. Stainless Steel units are covered with
a protective coating and have been ordered left- or righthand hinged. The Stainless doors are not reversible and
do not accept custom panels. Please carefully follow the
directions that apply to your unit and your intended
design.
Tools/Materials Required
• 7/64" Allen wrench
• Screwdrivers — slotted and Phillips head
• 1/4-inch OD copper tubing and shut-off valve for water
supply line
• 1/4-inch thick door panel material and cutting tools
(Black or White units)
• Full Overlay Door Panel Kit (part number U-OL2015B —
Black or part number U-OL2015W — White), 3/4-inch
door panel overlay, cutting tools, drill and bits (Black or
White units)
Inspection
Unwrap and inspect the unit on a flat, level surface
capable of supporting its entire weight.
Removing Protective Coating
(Stainless Steel Units Only)
When inspecting/installing a Stainless Steel unit, the
protective coating covering the unit must be removed
first. Start at a corner of the unit/door and pull back the
protective coating to remove it from the unit/door.
02/2005 3 www.U-LineService.com
BI2015 — Ice Maker
™
After all the protective coating has been removed from
the unit/door, clean all Stainless Steel surfaces with Claire
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product
or a mild detergent and warm water solution and soft
cloth. Do NOT use abrasive cleaning agents.
Note: If cleaning with mild detergent and warm water
solution and soft cloth, the unit MUST be treated with
Claire Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable
product to prevent discoloration.
Exterior Cleaning
(As Required)
Black and White Models:
• The door, grille and cabinet may be cleaned with a mild
detergent and warm water solution. Do not use
solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge
and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean
towel to prevent water spotting.
Stainless Steel Models:
• Stainless steel models can discolor when exposed to
chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water or cleaners with
bleach.
• Keep your stainless steel unit looking new by cleaning
with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/
polish on a monthly basis. For best results use Claire
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner, which can be
purchased from U-Line Corporation. (The part number
is 173348.) Comparable products are acceptable.
Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination
that could lead to rust. Some installations may require
cleaning on a weekly basis.
• Do not clean with steel wool pads.
• Do not use cleaners that are not specifically
intended for stainless steel (this includes glass,
tile and counter cleaners).
• If any surface discolors or rusting appears, clean it
quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser
and a non-abrasive cloth. Always clean in the direction
of the grain. Always finish this process with Claire
Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable
product to prevent further problems.
• Use of abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite will
cause the graining in the stainless to become
blurred.
• Rust that is allowed to linger can penetrate into the
surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of
the rust may not be possible.
3 Prepare Site
Your U-Line product has been designed for either freestanding or built-in installation. When built-in, your unit
does not require additional air space for top, sides or rear.
However, the front grille must NOT be obstructed and
clearance is required for water, drain and electrical
connections in the rear.
Note: Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet
door.

Door Swing/Clearances Information
Reversing the Door
(Black and White Units Only)
All U-Line units (except
Stainless Steel models) may
be left- or right-hand
opening. The door opening is
easily reversed by moving the
hinge hardware to the
opposite side. The top hinge
hardware will be used on the
bottom of the other side and
the bottom hinge hardware
will be used on the top of the
other side (see Figure 4).
To reverse the door:
1. Remove top hinge screw
pin from door (7/64"
Allen wrench or Phillips
screwdriver, depending
on your unit’s
construction) (see Figure 5). Remove door by tilting
forward and lifting off bottom hinge pin.
2.
Remove plastic screw plugs (3 each, top and bottom)
from new hinge location. Do not discard (see
Figure 4
Figure 6
).
Black and White units have a zero clearance for the door
to open 90° (see Figure 3). Stainless Steel models require
a minimum of 2-1/8" door clearance to accommodate the
handle if the unit is installed next to a wall or similar type
of structure.

Other Site Requirements
Power Supply
The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC,
60 Hz, 15A circuit (normal household current). See
Electrical Specifications on Page 14.
Water Supply
The unit requires a 1/4-inch OD water supply line and a
shut-off valve. For more information see Page 13.
Environmental Requirements
The surrounding air temperature must be at least 50°F
(10°C) but must not exceed 110°F (40°C). High ambient
temperature ranges and warmer water supply will cause
reduced ice production. Black and White units may be
installed outdoors in a covered area. Stainless Steel BI2015
units are deemed suitable for outdoor use by UL. The unit
must not be located near heat-generating equipment or
in direct sunlight.

8. Holding door upright with top of door tilted forward,
place hole of door pivot plate on bottom hinge screw
pin (see
Figure 10
).
9. Tilt top of door into
position in top hinge and
install top hinge screw pin.
10. Install plastic screw plugs
removed in Step 2 in old
hinge holes (3 each, top
and bottom).
