U-Line CLR2160 STAINLESS, CLR2160OD OUTDOOR manual Ice Cube Thickness Adjustment, Good

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

•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

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.

DIMPLES

ICE BRIDGE

Ice Bridge and Dimples

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.
