Electrical Requirements  
Plumbing Requirements  
The electrical supply should be located within the shaded  
area shown in the illustration below. Follow the National  
Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances when  
installing the receptacle. A separate circuit, servicing only  
this appliance is required.  
MODEL UC-24CI  
For model UC-24CI, the water supply line for the ice  
maker should be located within the shaded area shown in  
the illustration below. Connect the water line from the ice  
maker water valve to the house water supply line. Use an  
easily accessible shut-off valve between the water supply  
and the unit. Do not use self-piercing valves. A saddle  
valve kit is available from your authorized Sub-Zero  
dealer.  
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.  
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.  
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. A copper  
line is not recommended for this application.  
Do not use an extension cord or two-prong 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.

Anti-Tip Bracket  
Before moving the undercounter unit into position, make  
sure all opening dimensions, electrical and plumbing  
requirements are complete and accurate.  
To prevent the unit from tipping forward and provide a  
stable installation, the unit must be secured in place  
with the anti-tip bracket.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The floor under the undercounter unit  
must be at the same level as the surrounding finished floor  
to allow for removal of the unit for servicing.  
An anti-tip bracket and hardware is provided with the  
undercounter unit. Placement of the anti-tip bracket is  
critical to a stable installation. The anti-tip bracket must be  
installed securely.  
Use an appliance dolly to move the undercounter unit near  
the installation opening. Position the dolly at the side of  
the unit to prevent damage to finished surfaces. Remove  
and discard all packing materials and tape.  
The anti-tip bracket should be attached to the wall behind  
the unit with the bracket flange located immediately above  
the top of the unit. Refer to the illustration below.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not discard the kickplate, anti-tip  
bracket, hardware and the shipping bolts that hold the  
wood to the bottom of the unit (leveling legs). These items  
will be needed for the installation.  
For installations that cannot accommodate the anti-tip  
bracket, the optional countertop bracket (provided) can  
be used to secure the undercounter unit. This bracket will  
secure the front of the unit to the underside of the coun-  
tertop, above the unit. Refer to the illustration below. If it is  
not possible to use the countertop bracket, wedge shims  
along the sides and top of the unit to secure.  
For models UC-24BG and UC-24C(I), the roller-assembly  
wine shelves should be removed to reduce weight and  
prevent them from rolling. To remove, pull the shelf out to  
its full extension, gently and evenly lift up on both sides of  
the front of the shelf and remove. Reverse the procedure  
to reinstall the shelf.  
Before moving the undercounter unit into position,  
protect any finished flooring with appropriate materials  
and secure the door closed.

Installation  
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the undercounter unit has been laid  
on its back or side, you must allow the unit to stand upright  
for a minimum of 24 hours before connecting power.  
WATER LINE CONNECTION (MODEL UC-24CI)  
For model UC-24CI, connect the plastic tubing from the  
ice maker to the house water supply line with the fitting  
connection kit, provided. Check all water line fittings for  
leaks.  
With the undercounter unit near the installation opening,  
plug the power cord into the electrical outlet. With power  
applied to the unit, check for lighting and cooling. Once  
you are satisfied that the unit is operating properly, shut  
off power to the electrical outlet at the circuit breaker and  
proceed.  
Purge the water line prior to final connection to the unit.  
This will remove any debris that may be present in the  
tubing from installing the new water line.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Let your customer know that the ice  
maker will not produce ice immediately, and that the first  
few batches of ice produced should be discarded. Allow  
24 hours for proper ice production.  
LEVEL THE UNIT  
Level the unit before sliding it into position. Leveling  
cannot be completed with the unit pushed back in the  
installation opening.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Water lines must not be exposed to  
freezing temperatures. Exposure could cause damage to  
the unit and home.  
Using an adjustable wrench or pliers, turn each of the four  
leveling legs clockwise to raise the unit and counterclock-  
wise to lower the unit. For the location of the leveling legs,  
refer to the illustration.  
INSTALL KICKPLATE  
Install the kickplate using the two #10 x 1/2" stainless steel  
screws that are provided with the kickplate. Refer to the  
illustration below.  
To reduce the possibility of the unit tipping forward, the  
front leveling legs must be in contact with the floor.  
The kickplate must be removed for servicing. The floor  
cannot interfere with removal. Do not cover the louvered  
section of the kickplate to allow proper air circulation.  
Turn power back on to the electrical outlet.  
POSITION THE UNIT  
Slide the undercounter unit back into position in the  
installation opening. Make sure it contacts the anti-tip  
bracket for a stable installation.  
The undercounter unit provides the best access to its  
contents when the front surface of the door panel extends  
out from surrounding cabinets approximately 1/4" (6).

BEVERAGE CENTER MODEL UC-24BG  
Stainless steel model UC-24BG/S is shipped from the  
factory with the stainless steel door panel and tubular or  
pro handle in place. No panel installation is required.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: Model UC-24RO must be built into  
cabinetry and cannot be used in a freestanding applica-  
tion.  
For overlay model UC-24BG/O, a decorative frame door  
panel must be provided to surround the glass. The inside  
edges of the panel that will be visible through the glass  
must be finished. Refer to the chart for panel specifica-  
tions.  
You may also use your own handle hardware to match sur-  
rounding cabinetry. If you do not use the pre-drilled holes  
on the door of the unit, you will need to attach the handle  
directly to the overlay panel.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: For installations at or above 5,000'  
(1524 m) in altitude, a special high altitude glass door unit  
must be ordered.  
A solid panel must not be installed over the glass door,  
as this may cause moisture to form behind the panel.

Overlay Panel Installation  
MODELS UC-24R AND UC-24C(I)  
Before attaching the overlay panel to the door, insert two  
screws, one in the center of each mounting position, just  
far enough that the slotted holes on the hinge side door  
panel bracket will slide under the heads. These positioning  
screws will support the door panel during installation and  
adjustment. Refer to the illustration below.  
Inspect the overlay door panel for minimum thickness and  
weight limit. Remove the two panel mounting brackets  
attached to the front of the door and set aside.  
Place the overlay panel lying face down on a protected  
surface to ensure that the front is not scratched or  
damaged. Position the plastic template (provided) flush  
with the lower edge of the door panel. Be sure you are  
following the exact location for the right-hand (RH) or left-  
hand (LH) door swing. Refer to the illustration below for  
placement of the mounting brackets.  
Install the door panel by engaging the tabbed bracket to  
the handle side of the door first and then sliding the hinge  
side mounting bracket onto the positioning screws on the  
hinge side of the door. The panel can be adjusted 1/4" (6)  
up and down and side to side.  
Once the door panel is in place and adjusted correctly,  
attach the four remaining #10 x 1/2" screws to the hinge  
side mounting bracket and install the magnetic decorative  
caps as shown in the illustration below.  
Once you have located the proper placement for the  
brackets, mark the pilot holes, remove the template and  
drill pilot holes for mounting the brackets. It is best to start  
with a few holes, position the bracket, drill the remaining  
pilot holes and then secure the mounting bracket with the  
#8 x 1/2" screws provided.  
Exercise caution when drilling holes for mounting  
hardware. This is especially critical with inset panels.

BEVERAGE CENTER MODEL UC-24BG  
Remove the door panel from the door frame and remove  
tenon centers. Open the door. Using the center marks to  
locate screws, drive the screws into the panel through the  
black tape on the door frame.  
Inspect the overlay door panel for minimum thickness,  
weight limit and finished inside edges. Decide if the handle  
will be attached through the glass door frame or just  
through the decorative door panel. If it is just through the  
door panel, the handle must be attached first.  
The screw holes inside the door are hidden under a cover  
flap on the door gasket. It is necessary to lift the flap to  
insert the screws. Use as many screws as necessary to  
hold the door panel in place securely.  
The overlay door panel is attached using #8 x 5/8" square  
drive screws passing through the door frame from the rear,  
behind the gasket into the panel. The door panel is  
marked for screw locations by the use of tenon centers,  
which are temporarily inserted into the 1/4" (6) diameter  
holes in the front of the door frame. Refer to the illustration  
below.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: After the first three or four mounting  
screws are in place, but not completely tightened, close  
the door and check the panel fit. This is the time to make  
small adjustments. Once you are satisfied with the appear-  
ance, open the door and add the rest of the screws.  
Check all screws for tightness.  
With the unit secured in place and the door closed, the  
panel is held in the desired position on the door and  
rapped by hand from the front, putting center marks on  
the rear surface of the panel. If the door panel is made of  
such a material that pre-drilling is needed, all of the  
mounting holes should be marked. If not, only enough  
holes to hold the panel in place temporarily, are necessary.  
The metal frame on the door has numerous mounting  
holes on each side of the door. This is to accommodate  
Sub-Zero accessory handles and provide for easy attach-  
ment of the handle through the door frame.  
If you choose not to use the pre-drilled handle mounting  
holes, it will be necessary to fasten the handle from the  
rear of the door panel only, or drill one or more additional  
holes through the metal frame of the door.  
The cross-section illustration shows how the hole passes  
through the door frame. The hole center is on the small  
locator groove in the front of the frame. A 1/4" (6) diameter  
hole is made in the front wall of the extrusion and a 13/32"  
(11) diameter hole through the rest of the frame.

Hinge Adjustment  
IMPORTANT NOTE: The undercounter unit should be  
properly leveled before door hinge adjustments are made.  
The model UC-24BG glass door is made with a sealed,  
double-wall tempered glass core. The drill must not  
contact this core when drilling. Be sure the hole is  
centered on the small groove in the front of the door  
frame and the drill passes squarely through the frame.  
If you are inexperienced with drilling, fasten the handle  
from the rear of the door panel only.  
The top and bottom cabinet hinges are held in place with  
three permanent adjustment screws. If the door needs  
adjustment, loosen the adjustment screws and reposition  
the door. Once in position, tighten the adjustment screws.  
Refer to the illustrations below.  
IMPORTANT NOTE: For model UC-24BG, install screws in  
all the mounting holes in the door frame. The nature of the  
door panel with a narrow outer rim and no connecting  
center member requires the support provided by the glass  
door.
