Ice
ICE CUBE THICKNESS AND ADJUSTMENT
NOTICE
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.
Ice is produced in layers resulting in a clear cube. Ice in the bin may
develop surface frost which disappears when cube is placed in liquid.
Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary to choose cubes
from the sample area for comparison when making adjustments.
The ice cube thickness is factory-set for the best overall performance. The
factory setting is designed to maintain an ice bridge of approximately 1/16”
to 1/8” (1.6 mm to 3.2 mm) under normal conditions, resulting in a dimple of
approximately 1/4” to 1/2” (6.4 mm to 12.7 mm) 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” (3.2 mm) may cause cubes to overfill the ice bucket.
32 ice cubes are formed on a 4 x 8 slab during each cycle. Each cycle takes
approximately 15-20 minutes at the default cube thickness (0).
Your clear ice machine is preset to produce ice between the optimal dimensions are illustrated below:
Ice thickness adjustments are made using the control panel as follows:
- To enter the thickness adjustment mode:
- Press and hold for 5 seconds.
- The display will switch to “0” to confirm the thickness adjustment mode has been selected. The factory setting is “0”. Use it to raise the setting and thicken the ice bridge, or to lower the setting to thin the ice bridge.
- Press to confirm your choice.
Ice cubes in any given batch will vary, so it is necessary to choose cubes from the same area for comparison when making adjustments.
Airflow and Product Loading
NOTICE
The unit requires proper airflow to perform at its highest efficiency. Do not
block the front grille at any time, or the unit will not perform as expected.
Do not install the unit behind a door.

- Wear rubber gloves safety goggles and/or face shield when handling the Ice Machine Cleaner.
NOTICE
Use only the U-Line Clear Ice Machine Cleaner (80-55667-00), available for
purchase from u-line.com or your dealer. It is a violation of federal law to
use this solution in a manner inconsistent with its labelling. Use of any
other cleaner can ruin the finish of the evaporator and will void the
warranty. Read and understand all labels printed on the package before use.
U-Line Clear Ice Machine Cleaner is used to remove lime scale and other
mineral deposits. Refer to the following steps to initiate the self-cleaning
cycle.
CAUTION
Never use anything to force ice from the evaporator. Damage may result.
-
Turn the ice machine off and allow any ice to melt off of the evaporator.
-
Remove all ice from the storage bin.

Relay / Output Chart
Thermistors
- Thermistors are used for various temperature readings. Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.
- Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor is suspected of being defective, the resistance can be verified. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the resistance should read 16.1k Ohms +/-5% on your meter.
- Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor connection that has become corroded can cause resistance values from the thermistor to change as they pass through a dirty connection to the board.
- It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to keep thermistor connections clean and dry.
- If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor and the thermistor harness.
- Thermistor error information can be found in the Control Operations – Service section.
- This unit has two thermistors.
Thermistor one (Zone)
- Located along the right hand side wall. It is used to maintain the operating temperature within that zone.
Thermistor two (Evaporator)
- Located on the evaporator. It is used for defrost.
THERMISTOR FAILURE
Zone Thermistor
If the zone thermistor in the unit fails, the unit will continue to cool in a
backup mode (Self Preservation Mode) to preserve the integrity of the
contents. The unit will otherwise operate normally.
Evaporator Thermistor
If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a preset defrost
timer during defrost cycles. The unit will otherwise operate normally. Refer

Terms
These warranties apply only to products installed in any one of the fifty
states of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the ten provinces of

The remedies described above for each warranty are the only ones that U-Line

operation of law. U-Line will not be responsible for any consequential or
incidental damages arising from the breach of these warranties or any other
warranty, whether express, implied, or statutory. Some states do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. These warranties give you
specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from
state to state.
Any warranty that may be implied in connection with your purchase or use of
the product, including any warranty of merchantability or any warranty fit for
a particular purpose is limited to the duration of these warranties, and only
extends to five years in duration for the parts described in the section
related to the five year limited warranty above. Some states do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations
may not apply to you.
