The ice machine must be installed with adequate clear-  
ance for electrical connection at the rear of the unit. The  
electrical supply for the ice machine requires installation of  
a grounded receptacle on a separate circuit, servicing only  
this appliance. Follow the National Electrical Code and  
local codes and ordinances when installing the receptacle.  
The electrical supply for the ice machine must be installed  
by a qualified electrician in accordance with all applicable  
national and local electrical codes. Observe the following:  
The ice machine must be grounded in accordance with  
national and local electrical codes.  
A separate fuse or circuit breaker must be provided for  
each ice machine.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Although it can be located anywhere  
on the back wall, it is recommended that the receptacle be  
placed in an adjacent cabinet or in the lower right of the  
opening. If it is placed within the opening, additional  
cabinet depth may be required. Refer to the illustration  
below.  
The maximum allowable voltage variation is 10% of  
the rated voltage at ice machine start-up, when the  
electrical load is highest.  
The minimum wire size is #14 for less than 100' (31 m)  
or #12 for more than 100' (31 m) to 200' (61 m), use solid  
copper conductor only. The recommended breaker is  
15 amp. Local or state electrical code, length of run or  
materials used, can increase the minimum wire gauge  
required. A qualified electrician must determine the  
proper wire size, although #14 is the minimum size  
allowed.  
Models UC15IO and UC-15IPO are 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. For outdoor models, or if a  
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required by local  
codes, it must be a breaker type, not an outlet type.  
The minimum circuit requirement is used to help select  
the wire size of the electrical supply. Minimum circuit  
requirement is not the ice machine’s running amp load.

The ice machine must be installed with adequate clear-  
ance for water and drain connections at the rear of the  
unit. Prepare the water supply line and drain connection  
before installing the ice machine.  
WATER SUPPLY LINE  
For all ice machine models, locate the water supply line as  
shown in the illustration below.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is recommended that the water  
supply be placed in an adjacent cabinet within the shaded  
area shown in the illustration. If placed within the opening,  
additional cabinet depth may be required.  
Improper water supply and drain connections can  
result in personal injury and property damage.  
The water supply line should be connected to the house  
supply with an easily accessible shut-off valve between  
the water supply and the ice machine. A reverse osmosis  
system can be used, provided there is constant water  
pressure of 20 psi (1.4 bar) to 80 psi (5.5 bar) supplied to the  
unit at all times. A copper line is not recommended for this  
application.

Plumbing Requirements  
DRAIN CONNECTION  
The ice machine drain connection is approximately  
5" (127) from the floor.  
Models UC-15I and UC-15IO are gravity drain models that  
require a drain tube that is pitched down from the outlet at  
the back of the unit to the sanitary sewer connection.  
Models UC-15IP and UC-15IPO have a built in drain pump  
that will pump water up to a drain point, such as a sink.  
For the gravity drain, all horizontal runs of drain lines  
must have a 1/4" (6) per 12" (305) fall.  
Drain pump models have a maximum rise of 12' (4 m)  
and a maximum run of 100' (31 m).  
Gravity drain models are supplied with a drain hose for  
gravity draining. A pump model must be used if a gravity  
drain is not possible. Both drain methods require routing  
to an open site drain. Do not connect directly to a drain  
line as bacteria from the drain line may contaminate the  
ice machine. Locate the drain in an adjacent cabinet.  
Refer to the illustrations below. For installations that will  
not allow the drain to be placed in an adjacent cabinet,  
the drain must be located within 1/2" (13) of the back wall.  
Drain pump models will likely require an air gap  
between the unit and the drain receptacle.  
The floor drain must be large enough to accommodate  
drainage from all drain lines.  
The drain pump discharge line must terminate at an  
open site drain.  
If there is not adequate room behind the ice machine  
for the drain or waste water receptacle, the drain can  
be located below the floor.  
Improper drainage can lead to water flowing back into  
ice machine and poor performance.  
WATER FILTER  
The water filter provided with the ice machine is designed  
to inhibit scale formation, filter sediment, and remove  
chlorine odor and taste. The life expectancy of the water  
filter is approximately six months during normal usage.  
The ice machine control board will monitor water usage  
and indicate when replacement is required.  
AIR GAP  
Replacement water filters are available through your  
authorized Sub-Zero dealer. For local dealer information,
