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 right-  
hand 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.  
• 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.  
Tools/Materials Required  
• 7/64" Allen wrench  
• 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.

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.  
Your U-Line product has been designed for either free-  
standing 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: 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.  
Note: Unit can NOT be installed behind a closed cabinet  
door.

• 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.

Side-By-Side Installation  
Instructions  
4 Prepare and Install Door Panel  
(Black and White Units Only)  
For a complete refreshment center, install your BI2015 Ice  
Maker beside a U-Line Refrigerator, Combo, or Wine  
Captain Model (see Figure 11 for typical cut-out). Note  
that each Side-By-Side Installation will be different.  
Two types of custom door panels can be installed on your  
Black or White unit to harmonize with or accent the  
surrounding décor: a Custom 1/4" Insert or a Full Overlay.  
If no custom door panel is used, go on to 5 Adjust Door.  
• Cut-out width for a side-by-side installation is the total  
of the widths listed under Cut-Out Dimensions in each  
unit’s Installation Guide.  
Custom 1/4'' Door Panel Insert  
For example:  
Door Panel Preparation  
Placing a BI2015 Ice Maker next to a 2015 series unit  
would require a cut-out width of:  
15-3/16" + 15-3/16" = 30-3/8"  
A custom door panel can be inserted into the doorframe.  
Custom door panels can be flat or raised, as long as the  
maximum panel thickness where inserted into the door  
reveal (channel) is 1/4"-thick. For raised panels, the depth  
of the reveal is 1/4" on all four sides.  
Placing a BI2015 Ice Maker next to a 2075 series unit  
would require a cut-out width of:  
15-3/16" + 24-3/16" = 39-3/8"  
IMPORTANT  
No trim kit is required. However, 1/4-inch space needs to  
be maintained between the units to ensure  
unobstructed door swing.  
Raised panels will reduce the door’s 90° swing/zero  
clearance if the unit is installed next to a wall or similar  
type of structure (see Page 5).  
• Units must operate from separate, properly grounded  
electrical receptacles placed according to each unit’s  
Electrical Specifications.  
Cut the panel insert to the following dimensions.  
Custom 1/4" Dimensions:  
Width:  
14-1/32"

to, the unit.  
Water Supply Connection  
Figure 32  
When connecting the water supply, follow these  
guidelines:  
IMPORTANT  
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the  
unit.  
Normal operation creates some vibration. A water supply

during operation or damage to the line.  
• Connect to the cold water supply.  
• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.  
4. For recessed installations, allow extra water supply line  
length to provide slack for easy removal from the  
recessed area (see Figure 32). This will also safeguard  
against kinking the line.  
• Install a shut-off valve in the 1/4 inch OD water supply  
line.  
• Connect sufficient tubing to the unit so that tubing  
may be looped, allowing the unit to be removed for  
cleaning and servicing (see Figure 32). However, make  
certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged  
during installation.  
5. Go on to 7 Prepare Power Supply.  
• U-Line recommends the use of copper tubing for  
installation.  
To connect to water supply:  
1. Install the 1/4 inch OD copper water line from the  
main water source (see Figure 30).

Electrical Specifications  
Leveling Information  
CAUTION  
IMPORTANT  
It is extremely important that the unit is level. If it is not  
level, the ice mold will not fill evenly.  
Electrical installation must observe all state and local  
codes. This unit requires connection to a grounded (three-  
prong), polarized receptacle that has been placed by a  
qualified electrician.  
1. Use a level to check the  
levelness of the ice maker  
from front to back and  
from side to side. Level  
should be placed along  
top edge and side edge  
as shown (see Figure 34).  
The unit requires a grounded and polarized 115 VAC,  
60 Hz, 15A power supply (normal household current).  
An individual, properly grounded branch circuit or circuit  
breaker is recommended. GFCI (ground fault circuit  
interrupter) is usually not required for fixed location  
appliances and is not recommended for your unit because  
a GFCI could be prone to nuisance tripping. However, be  
sure to consult your local codes.  
Check  
Level  
See Figure 33 for recommended receptacle location.

2. If the ice maker is not level, adjust the feet on the  
corners of the unit as necessary (see Figure 35).

The door remains open unless it is pushed closed.  
Solution  
A:  
3. The ice maker will continue to produce until the bin is  
full. You may interrupt production by raising the bin  
arm into an upright and locked position (see Figure  
37). While the bin arm is locked, the unit will maintain  
temperature for ice storage.  
The hinges should be self-closing when the door is open  
approximately 8". If this is not the case, make sure the  
closers (at the bottom of the hinge pin) are clean, greased  
and installed correctly. Also, re-check leveling from front  
to back of the unit and readjust if necessary. Make sure  
that pivot plate is installed correctly.  
IMPORTANT  
It is possible that dirt or scale will dislodge in the water  
line. Always throw away all ice cubes made during the  
first twenty-four (24) hours of operation.  
Problem  
Q:  
The custom overlay door was designed to align with the  
rest of the cabinet doors, but the unit has crept forward.  
About Settings  
No adjustments should be necessary at this time. For  
information about Adjusting the Temperature Control  
and Adjusting Ice Cube Size, see the User Manual.  
Solution  
A:  
Make sure that the electrical cord and water supply line  
are not obstructing the installation.

BI2015 — Ice Maker  
Start-Up Troubleshooting  
Problem  
Q:  
Unit does not appear to turn on when switch is set to ON.  
Solution  
A:  
Make sure unit is plugged in and outlet has power (circuit  
breaker has not tripped). Remember that the ice maker  
mechanism will not fill the mold with water until the  
mold reaches the proper temperature.  
Problem  
Q:  
Water does not appear to be flowing into unit.  
Solution  
A:  
Check that the water is connected and turned on and the  
line is not obstructed.  
Problem  
Q:  
Ice cubes produced during the first two to three hours of  
operation have been discarded. New cubes still appear  
cloudy.  
Solution  
A:  
This is normal and is caused by air being trapped in the  
cube during fast freezing.  
IMPORTANT  
See the User Manual’s Troubleshooting Guide for more  
solutions.
