Model UC-15I (Undercounter Ice Machine)
Location of the Ice Machine
The location selected for the ice machine must meet
the following criteria. If any of these criteria are not
met, select another location.
• The ice machine may be built into a cabinet, however
the location must allow removal of the ice machine for
cleaning and servicing. Service diagnostics are per-
formed from the top of the ice machine.
• The location must be free of airborne and other con-
taminants.
• Do not place the unit within 18" (457) of a trash com-
pactor or trash/recycling container.
• The air temperature must be at least 50°F (10°C).
But, the air temperature must not exceed 100°F
(38°C) for models UC-15I and UC-15IP, and 110°F
(43°C) for models UC-15IO and UC-15IPO.
• The location must not be near heat-generating equip-
ment.
• The location must not obstruct air flow through the
kickplate (airflow is in and out the front of the ice
machine).
• The location must allow enough clearance for water,
drain and electrical connections at the rear of the ice
machine.
• Models UC-15IO and UC-15IPO are designed and
approved for outdoor installation.
The ice machine must be protected if it will be sub-
jected to ambient temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Component failure caused by exposure to freezing
temperatures is not covered by the warranty.
Area Requirements
Before moving the ice machine into place, be sure the
finished opening dimensions, electrical location and
plumbing location are accurate.
Be sure the plumber, electrician and cabinet installer
have this information before finishing work is complet-
ed.
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 con-
nection.
Models UC-15IP and UC-15IPO have a built in drain
pump that will pump water up to a drain point, such as
a nearby sink. Refer to specifications found later in this
section.
NOTES:
• If the ice machine is installed in a corner, the door
swing may be limited due to handle contact with the
wall or cabinet face.
• The floor under the ice machine must be at the same
level as the surrounding finished floor.
• When moving the unit, use a hand truck or dolly, posi-
tion the dolly on the side of the unit and secure the
door so it does not open while transporting the unit.
Any finished flooring should be protected with
appropriate material to avoid any damage from
moving the unit.
