U-Line CLR2160 STAINLESS - Manual (Page 11)

U-Line Ice Makers 9
The unit will resume operation approximately 15 minutes after the
automated cleaning process is completed. The water fill valve will
energize, fill the water reservoir, and shut-off after three minutes.
The compressor begins to operate and water flows over the
evaporator assembly (ice cube tray). Initially, the water flow may
not be uniform, causing uneven sized cubes or water to spill into
the ice storage bin. This is a normal situation that will correct itself
within the first 24 hours of operation.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
• Discard all ice produced in the first harvest.
• Should power to the unit be interrupted during the
self-clean cycle, it will be necessary to repeat the
complete cleaning cycle after power is restored.
Ice Cube Thickness Adjustment
Interval - As Required
Ice thickness adjustments are made using the control panel as
follows:
1. To enter the thickness adjustment mode:
• Touch and hold the UP ARROW button.
• Touch and release the DOWN ARROW button three times,
then release the UP ARROW button.
• The display will switch to “0” to confirm the thickness
adjustment mode has been selected.
2. The factory setting is “0,” and the total range of adjustment is -5
to +5 (ideal range is -1 to +1). Use the UP ARROW button to
raise the setting and thicken the ice bridge, or the DOWN
ARROW button to lower the setting to thin the ice bridge.
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
Ice thickness adjustment should only be made one
increment at a time. Allow ice maker production to
stabilize for 24 hours before rechecking ice thickness.
3. Touch and release the LIGHT button key to exit the ice
thickness adjustment mode.
4. Remove all ice from the storage bin.
Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary to choose
cubes from the sample area for comparison when making
adjustments. If further adjustments are desired, repeat Steps 1
through 4.
The ice cube thickness is factory set for best overall performance.
The factory setting is designed to maintain an ice bridge of
approximately 1/16" to 1/8" under normal conditions resulting in a
dimple of approximately 1/4" to 1/2" in depth. A fuller cube with
less of a dimple results in a thicker ice bridge. As the ice bridge
becomes thicker, the tendency for the cubes to stay together as a
slab increases. A bridge thicker than 1/8" may cause cubes to
overfill the ice bucket.
