Answer:

Once a UC-15I(P) Undercounter Ice Maker is installed, use the following steps to prepare unit for use:

1. Press the POWER key pad to turn the ice maker on.
2. Add one gallon (3.8 L) of cold water to the ice bin.
   • Verify the water completely drains from the ice bin and there are no leaks.
   • If the water has not drained within 60 seconds, there may be a kink in the drain tube or the drain installation is incorrect.
3. Press the CLEAN key pad.
   
4. Wait three minutes until the CLEAN light flashes, then add one tablespoon (15 ml) of undiluted ice maker sanitizer by lifting the water shutters and pouring directly into the spray area.
   • The ice machine will automatically time out a ten-minute cleaning cycle, followed by eight rinse cycles, and stop.
   • The CLEAN light will turn off to indicate that the cleaning cycle is complete. The entire cycle lasts approximately 30 minutes.
5. At initial start-up, the ice machine will need approximately 30 minutes to freeze ice and up to five minutes to harvest the ice. Wait for first cycle of cubes to drop to ensure proper installation.
