CLR2060 MODEL

ICE THICKNESS ADJUSTMENT

The CLR2060 Clear Ice Maker uses advanced technology to make ice that is crystal clear. This technology cascades a flow of water over a chilled ice mold that is mounted vertically so no water sits in it. Because of this ice making technology, clear ice cubes differ significantly from regular ice cubes. Differences are as follows:

•Dimples. U-Line clear ice cubes have “dimples” on one side from the cascading water process.

•Cube Variations. Cubes made from different batches,

or even cubes within the same batch may have varying dimples, thicknesses and/or sizes due to the cascading water process.

•Cube “slabbing”. The U-Line clear ice maker makes a

“slab” of ice that falls from the vertical mold relying on gravity to break the ice bridges. Depending on the control setting, and the fullness of the ice

bucket, it maybe necessary to tap the ice slab with the scoop to break it apart.

The ice cube thickness control 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 (see Figure 2). 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.
